    Axius reacted to platy in DADAROMA: Beyond Oboreru Sakana   
    After going through Dadaroma's discography, it hit me. People, myself included, always cry whenever they release something that is not Oboreru Sakana. The thing is, there are more than enough solid songs in their discography if you are willing to look past the Masturbations and Pornographs.
     
    I've gathered a few that stand out to me the most and I hope these will ease your yearning for fishy metal.

    What are some of your favorites?  Any that didn't make the list?  DADAROMA has now disbanded and it was a highlight of 2020 for me being able to attend their last live with some folks from MH via youtube. Let's celebrate their life in the comments whether you're a fan or not!

    Axius reacted to diryangrey in SHM-CDs: An audiophile treat or a complete SHaM?   
    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

    Axius reacted to Demivee in SHM-CDs: An audiophile treat or a complete SHaM?   
    I own the THE ONE - crash to create- single by Luna Sea as a SHM-CD and really can't spot a difference to normal quality CDs.
    I have a relative good audio set up at home and really sat in front of the speakers with closed eyes to hear any details which were not available in standard quality. XD
    Either there is really no big difference or I am not audiophile enough.
     
    So in my opinion buying a SHM-CD is money thrown away.

    Axius got a reaction from Total Saikou in SHM-CDs: An audiophile treat or a complete SHaM?   
    These versions are usually just more expensive version of a CD's due to its durability. Polycarbonate material almost like steel in hardness so its generally more pricey then standard CD's. Mastering does have a small portion of that contribution but ultimately its the way the CD is made. I would agree it can be worth checking out maybe on like your favorite release or something just to see how its sounds.
     
    Kinda similar to like buying a Blu-ray vs DVD. A DVD is cheaper to make as posted to a Blu-ray  because of the way its made. That's why they are priced differently. As for Japanese versions of CD's its up in the air there are different types. Even HMV.co. jp has there own version.
     
    Regardless i agree. I dont care for the SHM CD all that much.

    According to article made by CDJapan. Some of these CD's are used by very well known artists in the Music industry.  There is a interesting science behind this. In a way some of this stuff makes sense others do not.
     
    Based off what i read with a little research SMH-CD's are more durable then your average CD's they do contain a better projection of data on the CD but not enough to make much of a difference in sound quality a least worth noting unless you have expensive audio equipment to really play with. Notably most Japanese editions of CD's are similar to SMH-CD's in quality and are priced slightly high for that reason. I don't personally own these CD's but based on the information on others who have one. It really depends on your audio equipment and perception of how you hear music. Some people notice it some people do not. SH Material is "supposed" to make your CD Player's work better by incorporating better materials that's for more reliable in production, easier to read obviously if you have a good CD player. What this basically to me at least is longer lasting CD's.
     
    Interestingly enough, SMH-CD's are made out of polycarbonate material which are also a similar material that Blue ray CD's are made of. Not 100% made of the same material but mostly comprised of it.
     
    This aside. My opinion tho is that i believe the CD's in quality could be the same if i heard it. (Disclaimer: I dont own a SMH-CD).  I also believe it is based off the artist and there equipment, sound production and mastering of the audio itself for you to really tell the difference in it. Thats just me tho. If you want to take a shot in the dark that is fine. Im not that interested in other types of CD's believe it or not but i did get a good take away from this topic which is that  Interestingly enough this encourages me to re-rip some of my CD's with a better CD player. All my rips are from a 2005 CD player. Need an upgrade.
     
     
    Non-CD:
    Me personally i prefer M4a audio higher then 320 Kbps. Mostly because its the closet format to a Lossless without the big file. A difference for ripped CD's, i noticed is when i listen to a Mp3 320 kbps compared to a m4a 320 kbps. Some mp3's are actually really good quality but most M4a's in my opinion sound better then Mp3. Lossless for me interestingly enough is the same for a ripped M4a i don't notice that much of a difference for my ears. I use 100 dollar wireless headphones tho but speaker wise i will need to upgrade later.

    Leaving a band that has worked so hard for 23 years. You should retire with your band if your going to want to finish everything. Love the dude but just why "Retire" without your band doing the same. You've been in here for 23 years and put all this effort in? Hopefully he doesnt leave.

    I honest agree with the first reply based on your preference. There is so much stuff in the genera i can make your head spin. Do you like screaming? Do you like hardcore screaming, a balance or none at all? Some of these questions id ask yourself overall based on this:
    Here is what i have come up with based off what you wrote here:
     
     
     
     
    Prob one of the more under rated D songs. 
     
    Fulfills the rap part.

    So he decided to throw the "finished" songs for free to those who retweet this tweet.
    contains 7 songs... and only 1 song isn't the greatest of the greatest.... But overall it doesn't sound that bad.

    ALCYON is a Nagoya (名古屋) based visual kei band who formed in December 2017, and started activity in July 2018. They typically focus on heavy-toned music which contrasts beautifully against the high voice of vocalist Sera.
    They celebrate their second anniversary this July at Nagoya Fits ALL. Read on to learn about their two years of activity so far.
     
    It's a band who we somehow never really notice, however their music isn't bad at all and since last month we also can enjoy their music via digital platforms!
     
    So please check them out here!
