Well, Devote My Life sounds like a typical strangest song on the album (after all, he wrote Egnirys and Midwife). But Values of Madness is so straightforward, so unusual for Toshiya.

At least its pacing is better than Arche, which was all over the place.

Fucking hell dude....I just did my initial listen but here's my first impression.
 
 
This shit ROARS. You can hear the collaborative effort that Shinya mentioned and thought was put into these songs. Wtf

Longer intro and ending, it seems.

They appear to be in the process of uploading the album to iTunes Japan. It's now visible as a "partial" album with 5 tracks available to purchase.
 
 
 
 

first press is what smaller bands typically do if they aren't sure their release will sell that well; if it does, the label orders extra, typically with more economic packaging bc. the stans who care about this would buy the initial ed. anyway.
 
sometimes (I'm not even sure it's even been the case with Deg because they went major prior to their first full album), second/third press editions have different tracks added, or have re-recordings/remasters of the same material if band suddenly can afford better production.
 
deluxe editions on the other hand is what bigger bands do because they can afford throwing extra shit in for a higher price-tag;
 
in case with Deg, it looks like their way to fit in the type A-B-C-D-XYZ trend of Japanese music market - they don't push single types that hard, but release several versions of the albums that all work twds the chart placement at the end.

There's my reaction. 

So, we'll have a very strong album opener. And a beautiful closer. That's reassuring, to say the least (hated RoM as an album closer for Arche).

Bro how dare you guys monkshame Kyo. #KYOSBODYKYOSRULES #MONKPRIDE #MONKSEXUAL #MONKPOSITIVITY #ALLMONKSAREBEAUTIFUL 

Kaunas? Not even Vilnius, like the last time?
Sorry Satsuki, this time my money goes to DEG.

I think a lot of the stuff on Adoratio is catchy. 

That album cover is almost worse than Sustain the Untruth’s cover.
