Why the hell did teenage me buy into the dumbass rumor that Mahiro from Kiryu was a middle schooler in Curse and MADARA? What pre-teen lets Yuuga write him a song themed around Nakadashi (I don't think I should have to explain what that is lmao)

So I tried DEZERT's new album, and I don't really plan to go back to it. I think it's a small step in the right direction, but it still doesn't hold up compared to their first two albums.
For one, I think the metal songs are holding back way too much on what they could be. There are no harsh vocals, for one, and while I get that not every metal song needs harsh vocals, these songs could definitely benefit from some screaming parts.
As well, Chiaki's voice just sounds weird. IDK if he just sounds like that now, or if they increased the throat-length setting on the Autotune in order to make him sound "manlier".
IDK what's holding them back, whether it be Danger Crue, or Chiaki himself. Either way, I like it better than TODAY, but I also think it could be much better.
 
At least those are my opinions, all I can do is hope the next album is better

Me trying to explain VK to a friend:

Looks like Shattered Tranquility is officially down? Any time I try to access it, it says "Server not found"

[western music journalist interviewing vk musician voice] BRO WERE U INSPIRED BY MARILYN MANSON

I forgot how bad a lot of the Hip Hop from between 2007 and 2011 was. Specifically anything relating to Lil Wayne, Drake or Nicki Minaj. As a 7 to 11 year old, hearing it on the radio, it just annoyed me a little. As an adult who can actually comprehend the lyrical content, the beats, etc., it's even worse now.

BREAKING NEWS: Andrew Yang to sponsor new DIMLIM album. DIMLIM changes name to DEMLIM.

Youtube randomly recommended Phineas and Ferb in Japanese to me, and it low key sounds like a Guruguru Eigakan song
 

How the hell did Ja Rule in the early 2000's get away being tone deaf and sounding like he has a cold?
Sure, Mesmerize is catchy, but Ashanti is the only one putting any actual effort into the music lmao

Ok, am I crazy, or does this early MCR song almost sound like it could be Luna Sea influenced?
Or maybe there is a band that influenced both. IDK. Maybe just a coincidence lol. I really don't listen to MCR other than their first album so I don't know much about them.

A parrot-fronted death metal band
 

Serbian folk music sounds way more Middle Eastern than I expected lol. Makes sense though, knowing the historical influence from the Greeks and Ottomans.
 

I wish there were more PVs out there that looked like the ones Dir en Grey did for Gauze camera-and-lighting-wise. I wonder what they filmed them with. I probably could never afford that type of camera, but it would still be cool to know.

Greiva is fucking sick. 

I've been here for a year already?

I randomly came across this weird but cool video of these Russian folk musicians playing Du Hast by Rammstein on traditional instruments. Also featuring a Duduk player who I'm assuming is Armenian, since that's where the instrument comes from
 

We have French, German and British themed Kote Kei bands... but we don't have a Russian one? I mean, we have Vkei bands that have taken Soviet themes, but it'd be cool to see a Vkei band take a proper Russian aesthetic.

I have had Memento Mori's disco on repeat for a while and I gotta say, they're pretty amazing. Mei's voice ontop of that old school sound is food for the soul. 

I just saw a bunch of Viets on twitter attack some country singer for wearing the Ao Dai... and holy fuck these people know nothing about Vietnamese culture. They're going on about how someone shouldn't sexualise the Ao Dai, but like, the Ao Dai is already sexualised, and has been since the 1930's. They're all made to accentuate the breasts and butt.
 
As well, these people were pulling up images of extremely modernised Viet clothing, and saying it's the "real traditions". I swear sometimes I feel like I'm the only Viet nowadays who actually cared to research about our traditions, especially of those that date before Chinese and French rule, instead of blindly thinking the literal historical equivalent of a suit-and-tie is somehow a thousand year old tradition.

So I've really been sleeping on Jigsaw but holy fuck they're like the perfect mix of old school and modern Vkei. 

Kiryu goes fucking hard.
