MALFORMED BOX
I think this was one of their best instrumental tracks. The Indian elements sound really interesting and the way it segues into the next track is perfect. I enjoy their intros but this one stands out to me.
 
INSIDE BEAST
This was one of the highlights on the album for me. The chorus is catchy and the use of female vocals was great. I also liked the sound of the drums. Thematically it fits with the album's cover. The electronic elements were used well.
 
UNTIL IT BURNS OUT
In my opinion, the most forgettable song in the album, kind of like In the Middle of Chaos was for DIM. Nothing stands out and it just sounds boring.
 
DEVOURING ONE ANOTHER
A great track. For me the highlight was the part towards the end where Ruki is speaking in Japanese. I like how he repeats "Am I next?" It gave me a sense of tension building up. I liked the intro too. It sounded very unique. The female vocals fit well too.
 
FADELESS
I didn't really like this track. Even though I liked Stacked Rubbish, I just don't feel this song is at that level. It is not as dull as UNTIL IT BURNS OUT but there are still no parts that grabbed my attention. The female vocals were distracting, and even the intro wasn't anything special.
 
REDO
This track was okay. It was a bit light for my taste but as a ballad it is fine. I wish there had been more emotion in the track. Pretty cool to hear a track composed by Kai though.
 
LAST HEAVEN
I didn't really notice this song while listening to the album the first few times but it has grown on me as I have listened to it more and more. I definitely noticed more emotion in this song than in REDO, and the chorus seems more catchy. The solo was great!
 
LOSS
I usually like songs composed by Uruha the best, and this song was no exception. The intro was just amazing. It didn't quite turn out to be the song I expected, but it was still great. The theme of the song was pretty sad and it definitely contributed to the emotion I felt. The female vocals were spot on and not used to excess. The mood of the song made me feel like it would fit on DIM, and the way the song ended with that phrase made it resonate with me. One of the best songs on the album, in my opinion.
 
THE STUPID TINY INSECT
This track was so-so. I think it tries to be heavy but doesn't go in that direction enough. It's interesting that the title uses an animal though. It made me think of other animal songs by the GazettE.
 
IN BLOSSOM
Great track. The heavy intro is cool, but the song after that is even better. The first few verses were depressing (in a good way) and set the mood for the rest of the song. For me, the best parts were when Ruki sang in Japanese. I think his voice is amazing during those parts, and the pairing with female vocals makes it even better.
 
鴉
I would rate this track a bit higher than THE STUPID TINY INSECT. It has a rough and unpolished sound, making it sound kind of rebellious to me. The vocals are a little better than in THE STUPID TINY INSECT, though, and I think the Japanese parts sound pretty catchy.
 
黒く澄んだ空と残骸と片翅
One of my favorite heavy songs by the GazettE. I think it is interesting how it is the counterpart of 春ニ散リケリ、身ハ枯レルデゴザイマスwhere this time it is written from the perspective of the butterfly. The intro is great. Again, the subject is depressing but Ruki's vocals are very good, and the ending of the song was well-done too.
 
TO DAZZLING DARKNESS
This track and CODA are tied for best track on the album. When I heard the preview with this song's opening in the background, I couldn't wait to hear the whole song, and I was not disappointed. For me this song is up there with 泣ヶ原 and DIM SCENE as one of my favorite GazettE songs. One of the best intros I have heard from the GazettE, and the song keeps the atmosphere throughout. The fact that the song is about the end of a live is poignant concerning this track's placement in the album. Ruki's voice in this song is haunting and I was definitely able to tell that this song was composed by Uruha.
 
CODA
Amazing. Definitely the best outro instrumental of the GazettE. The seamless transition between the previous track and this one makes it difficult to separate them. The guitars in this track are superb, and the way Ruki speaks the lyrics complements them very nicely. The atmosphere of the song definitely sticks with you after it ends; that is how good it is.
 
Overall, I would say this album is definitely better than TOXIC and DIVISION. Most of the songs are very enjoyable, which was not something I could say for either of the previous two albums. It sounded like the GazettE put a lot of work into this album. This is my third favorite album, after DIM and NIL. For me, what sets those two apart from BEAUTIFUL DEFORMITY is the atmosphere of the album as a whole. The songs in DIM and NIL were cohesive and made sense together, combining to create a great album. While BEAUTIFUL DEFORMITY has many great songs, it is hard to describe what the album represents as a whole. With that said, I still think this is one of their best albums.

This is for the Pokemon's lovers out there.
Which would be your Pokemon team?
You can pick 6, being 1 Mega or Legendary on it.

Hello everyone.
 
I first visited this site when Beautiful Deformity came out to read the reviews, and recently I also read the reviews for Dogma. As you can tell, I am a big fan of the GazettE. Their music is almost the only thing I listen to, aside from a couple videogame soundtracks  and occasionally ν[NEU] and Kagrra. I used to listen to D but not anymore. 
 
Believe it or not, I have only ever listened to Japanese music my whole life. When I was a freshman in high school, I had to do a project that included a song, which got me interested in Pokemon music, which I listened to for all of high school. I also learned Japanese by myself in high school and continued taking classes in college. In college I got interested in theme songs for Japanese horror movies (weird I know) which was what led me to visual kei. The first visual kei songs that I heard were D's Yami no Kuni no Alice, Kagrra's Jusou, and the GazettE's Chizuru. Honestly, I have been listening to music for less than 10 years. 
 
The first album I got from them was Toxic (around the time Division came out). I thought it was okay but after that I got Dim and was blown away, and I've been a fan ever since. I'd really like to go to one of their lives. 
 
I am pretty adamant about having my music on physical CDs, so I have 25 Pokemon CDs and 18 GazettE CDs. 
 
Sorry for the long introduction. Anyways, I hope to post a couple of reviews here and talk to other GazettE fans (and maybe even get introduced to another band or two). 

Thanks for the warm welcomes everyone!
 
I only got DOGMA last week and I want to listen to it a few more times before reviewing it, but so far I agree that many of the songs sound too similar. I will probably post a review for Beautiful Deformity in the next few days, though. Oh, and another quirk of mine is that I listen to all my music in order, so I start with whatever was released earliest and end with the most recent stuff, so it takes a while to listen to the new stuff a couple of times. It is easy since I mostly just listen to CDs.
