I can't say I liked all of their musical output, but they've put out quite a number of absolute bangers. That motherfucker will be missed.

@chipathy I'm becoming slightly more hopeful with every snippet I see. This is gon' be gud.

Fixer separated themselves from a band with the same name and now they have but a single follower (me)  fix it, y'all, it's sad

BMTH 2019: Coldplay "jacked our steez" a few years back. Let's get back at them by copying their music.

Seriously tho, it's a really solid pop album. It's what I expected, but feared of getting. Not one song on the album resonated with me the same way as any of their previous works. Their songwriting definitely hasn't lost it's edge, but...it just feels kinda soulless.

HAIL STAN!

I gave quite a few spins to the majority of NAZARE's full length, and I gotta say, the potential is there, but the inexperience of anyone but Issei kinda shows. The album itself is nicely written and varied, but...although the guitarist has the (quasi)-technical department down, he lacks the ability to write any compelling solos, it's just "basic" guitar-wankery. The vocalist is good and the potential is there, but someone should really hit him over the head whenever he tries those highs and refuses to stay in his range, he ain't Sho or Akane. No complaints on the bassist, he's just there, quality rumble from down under. It's a fun record and I'm excited for what's next.

Let's just hope they are given the time to evolve, before someone fucks it up, and stop being just a poor man's D.I.D.

I'm so glad, that I stumbled upon these dudes. Fucking phenomenal!

I'm still dearly waiting the day, when Akane amasses enough of those 7/11 ¥¥¥, so that he can make a full-blown come-back...

Hell, I'd be happy for properly mixed and mastered Inside of me tracks

Also, he should follow Issei's model of acquiring some unknowns who don't yet know how much of a nightmare he is to work with.

If anyone's looking for some western goodness, check out the new album by The Word Alive, Violent Noise, here's the main single

And a bonus, I'm expecting big things from these guys

Kinda out of the left field, but there's a new nekomanju song. Not all that good, but it's there.

Nemophila is a good album, but I expected much more. There are no real standout tracks whatsoever and it just kinda blends together in the back half.

The production on the other hand is the best they ever had. It's a shame that Mio sounds worse on the re-recorded single tracks, when the rest sounds better.

Now, since we went through regular shitty synths, orchestral and then oriental restaurant OST ones. Perhaps some indian or balalaika samples are on the horizon?

New Whitechapel is fucking here!

Still one of the best breakdowns in the game. Not the heaviest or the most technical, but it hits just so right. 

Those guys were a huge part of my childhood, when I was a pure metalhead...nice to see them going back to their roots.

Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines 2, after 15 goddamn years.

I'm fucking pumped, yet scared, of what it's gonna turn out to be...if ever.

After Oni, I can't wait for what Seiya and Hiroto are gonna cook up, together.

Been watching BMTH's studio session videos...I'm very carefully optimistic

Can someone tell Juri to stop rapping? 'Cause the b-side from LILITH is absolute trash

Done listening to FIXER II...the live-limited tracks are amazing, damn, am I gonna miss them. Definitely one of the best bands that came out in 2010s.

I ain't taking anything I said about Mamireta, in the past, back, but...the latest mini is just pure fun. 

I got a last part of my university entry exams ahead of me tomorrow...fucking civics. With me being two years out of highschool and working full-time, I never had such a strong distaste for picking up my studying materials. I couldn't even get through the whole thing. The exam's sure gonna be fun 🙃 I got 'round 90% on my english exam, so here's to not fucking up extra hard, tomorrow.

I thank you all for making the 5 years I've been around this place much more colorful than they otherwise would've been.

I used to hope for a heavy Grimoire, but now I'm hoping for any Grimoire.

I went into the 1st Roman Kyuko single with absolutely zero expectations, since Sibilebashir never really clicked with me, but I haven't been more pleasantly surprised, this year. Each song is a fucking banger, we need more bands like that.

If Akane ever comes back, looking back at the vocal progression from julius, through Para:noir to D.I.D., only dogs will be able to hear him.
