omg their take on uroko is really good im surprised y'all wasn't living
that ballad track is really good too
i refuse to listen to an actual full release of theirs but this arche-lynch thing is actually sounding shockingly good for them

Dumb question but is lime pronounced just like the fruit lol

And people freak out when they get compared to DeG. Do you want anything more Deg-ish than announcing their releases way before their release dates?

They have just uploaded a new clip called  『maximum the hormoneⅡ～これからの麺カタコッテリの話をしよう～』Maximum the Hormone II -korekara no Menkatta Cottelee no hanashi o shiyou)
 
"Awaited 2nd brand new music video, “Maximum the Hormone II -Let’s Talk about Menkata Cottelee-” was released on MTH official YouTube channel. Maximum the Ryokun was diagnosed as complication of lifestyle-related diseases and warned that he was going to die if he wouldn’t change his lifestyle by a medical doctor. So Maximum the Ryokun started diet and exercise, lost weight and got well. Fans were totally shocked by his lean body and have been complaining “We liked him FAAAAAT!!” Yes, this is the answer song to such fans. What does the subtitle which is the same as the title of the next release item mean? This song was composed as “Part II” of the song, “Maximum the Hormone” released 7 and a half years ago. How will the next stage of MTH who have had the belief of “Menkata Cottelee” be?! Will head banging and growling be unsealed?! Maximum the Hormone 2nd brand new music video dedicated to all the gouty people (calorie mates)! Eat it with your eyes and ears!! *Maximum the Ryokun would like to ask a favor. Please do not spread screenshots of the video through SNS such as twitter and instagram for a while. He doesn’t want you to be spoilers. *If the access to the video gets too concentrated, you might not be able to watch it properly. In that case, please wait for a while and try it again later."

I'm kinda late to the party but WOOOOOOOOOOW that was a messed up video. Haven't seen anything that disturbing in a good while. Still need a couple more of listens to have a better grasp of the song, but from the first listen, it's good. I like the production and the inclusion of djenty rhythms is pretty cool. Interesting how Lime (sorry if you care about capitalizations because I don't) doesn't jump the "make weird noises with your throat during the heavy parts even if you don't have the hability to do so" bandwagon and stays within his clean vocals range all the way through the song - it's a pretty fresh thing in my book.

Jin just doesn't give up, huh. 

sounds like a SID tribute by nocturnal pisslust arranged and mastered by soundcloud.com/XxDrumMachineAddicTxX

Love when a band has a fantastic drummer, then released music that makes it sound like they have no drummer. 

Analog synths are the council of futuristic grandpas.

I'm so sorry to break the string but this gotta be the most significant string of threads I've seen here.

Mirai might be a weirdo (he's weird as fuck tbh), but listening to or reading interviews with him is a real pleasure. Or just watching or reading him interview other bands, which he does a lot as he's a music journalist as well. A very interesting man.
 
I'd love to see an Amoeba What's In My Bag episode with Mirai, and the rest of the band. Think that could be interesting.

"Koufoku Ron" isn't that bad but it's kind of the underwhelming early Dimlim sound that doesn't really take me anywhere. The vocalists screams need a bit more of polishing but I really like his style (his high ass squealing sounds way cleaner than Sho's - kinda like Hinata from Ligro and the way he mixes inhales and exhales is pretty cool). The cleans were pretty bad though.
 
"Adolfism" doesn't sound good at all and couldn't have a cringier songtitle. The final shriek was really cool though
 
I still think the best thing that Issei ever did was leave Dimlim.  

Feels like issei just couldn't help restarting from where he left off. The similarly  with DIMLIM must be accepted,i guess 
 
Furthermore,I think it's unfair throwing too much high expectations on the vocalist, he still fresh to the scene,and that MV was a decent beginning for him

LOOOLLL This is garbage mama, the best thing dimlim did was dropping issei and letting retsu take control
 
will listen to this a few times tho ngl shhh don't tell anyone i kinda like garbage

I see Issei still insists on playing the typewriter. 

Can’t get myself into a band where a member (especially the leader) already showed several times that he is some dipshit.
 
And the tiny vocalist reminds me of :

...Just much less interesting.

Man, what really saddens me is that if this album come out someday, it will be definitely their last as X. It would take another 20 years gap (plus 10 years of just making it) for them to do another one. They're like what, on their mid 50s? Plus, everyone knows that everything points to a trainwreck. It couldn't be a worse final chapter for a band with such importance as X Japan.
 
I don't think you can blame the non-Yoshiki members though for the direction things took though. Maybe for still being associated with him or maybe for refusing to call Yoshiki out?  I think they are all doing well with their solo careers and other projects. Especially Toshi, the musicians he plays with are always really good and the setlists are on-point.

Not really understanding how an opinion on personal taste has more/less merit depending on how long you've been a fan and if you've been to Japan or not. I personally have been listening to this album more than anything they've put out since VULGAR/Withering, so because of that it stands out as being one of their better efforts as far as I'm concerned. 

I don't want to sound rude but to say that this is some of their best work, is just so wrong imo.. This album doesn't even have one 10/10 song. The best would be Ranuculus, which is a 7/10 at best. Everything else is 5/10 (average) or below. 

This comes from someone who have been a fan of them for 15+ yearsm and moved to Japan simply to be able to go to their concerts, lmao.
