oh no i actually really like this track oh no now i'm sad about mucc

i love CDs; i spent stupid amounts of money on them & have shelves full i like to look at & enjoy the visual art inside of i can't think of any way i'd more prefer to purchase & collect music but if i wanted the absolute highest audio quality i'd just download it from bandcamp..... idk what the point tho is of anything more lossless than 320mp3 unless you're in a lifted tuned room w/ flat monitors & no AC etc running

i'm in love with strong flavoured spicy food, so (central) vietnamese, hunanese, & ethiopian cuisine are so far unbeatable for me~

i couldn't stand the official release but tbh Miya's mixing makes a huuuuge difference still not top 5 or even top 50% of mucc albums lol but imho there's no reason for me to ever listen to the original master instead of Miya's

a lot of comparisons of this album to 脈拍 but am i the only person who loves that album but struggles to understand the raison d'être of this one? i mean, why did this album need to exist? the B-sides between 脈拍 & now make a better album, no? tho i'm definitely amused by wondering how the conversation w/ 葉月 went like hey can you just go bbbrrrrrrrrrr into a mic for us, we'll turn it into a song don't worry

bc if there's one thing vkei bands are known for it's being very polite & light-hearted always lmao you're probably right tho

i know literally nothing about this band yet would bet good money this is just a joke/stunt & probably one specifically targeted @ rands at that

Gianizm REKT (could also be like React but rekt is more fun) (this coming to you from the same band who published The Dool)

this album's WEIRD but i'd rather have a few more strange ones like this than a hundred alright albums that do just fine. not sure why the 'are they vkei or aren't they' debate is so lively when the music sounds more vkei than 鵬翼 & their looks are more vkei than 達郎's in 心のない町's PV. between this & DEZERT i'd say rather than declaring individual bands to have fallen off the vkei wagon we're seeing the early phases of another branch of this scene, like what we english-speakers call oshare/nagoya/angura/art kei. indie kei? i think it could be a thing & would love to see more of it tbh retsu could put out a full album of SEs & i'd enjoy it - maybe that's bc i don't listen to enough actual IDM or Flying Lotus et al but either way it pauses & carries the mood of Misc. & CHE DO A RA both nicely; this is a hill i'll absolutely die on. 7/10 imho is the perfect rating for this album to end up with - every album dimlim puts out seems like a different band's debut & i hope they stay around to make 10+ more

do you mind if i try to defend Retsu's guitar? i LOVE gretsch, they're my fav aside from fender, but compared to fender are so uncommon to see in vkei - yutori from pentagon plays deusenbergs which are pretty similar but that's usually the closest i've seen i have no idea if this track was actually recorded on that guitar or not but the solo makes me think it was - their pickups are like this middle ground between the crisp bubbliness of fenders' & 'heavier' humbuckers but without that watery mid-boosted PRS sound. it's pretty muddy & unclear & regardless of all that, totally personal taste but i like the contrast of small dude / tight unaccessorized clothes w/ the giant-ass guady guitar that'd be no one's first association w/ a darker styled band. + the white guitar / black clothes makes that contrast seem more purposeful. sorry for the huge answer but i love dumb things like this - bands that fuck w/ what's expected in smaller ways that almost seem accidental

not always this obv but check out these two songs by definitely different bands which are definitely written by different people youtube.com/watch?v=ltiqDDlqDYA youtube.com/watch?v=x9PJZlUJtyQ
