My dude, that was a joke/jab at their 37-part spotify song.

serving variety 👏  we stan 👏 👏 👏

I heard they will be releasing the band scores for ARCHE and The Insulated World soon, but you need to pay 100 Yen for each page separately.
 
On a more serious note: If the song is available from 0am JP time, wouldn't that mean the EU would get it 7 hours earlier? at 5 pm Sunday?
Or how do streaming services and iTunes stuff work with timezones?

We can hope. I'd rather buy a physical version of the release than stream online or buy digitally.

Seems they can't make up their mind lol
 

Still never going to be as good as the Cazqui days, that guy is not only a mad good guitarist but an amazing song writer as well. That's just my opinion anyway, nothing they've done since he's left has come close to the "hits" from those days.

I'm holding off listening until they release this on CD.
If it doesn't come out before the next album, I doubt it'll ever be released physically for the masses. At that point, I'll cave.
 
I refuse to pay for mp3s.

These lyrics are shakespeare compared to dexcore

wtf does "skele me dop deaddz" mean?

I know they probably wont but would be nice if they made this physical version more widely available. Wouldn't mind a copy seeing as I was at the Islington Assembly Hall show! + Need them live clips of The World of Mercy as well.

Yeah I get what you're saying and am not saying you're wrong and I totally understand why bands do it. But at the same time if some of these bands do have fans overseas who want to support them it makes it hard for them to do so, especially as second hand live limited stuff goes for madly high prices most of the time and none of that goes to the band anyway... So having some support (At least financially) from overseas fans is better than money they are losing out on by basically not allowing overseas fans to get their stuff, I would imagine particularly small bands would be happy for financial support whether it's from local or overseas fans. I mean I've been to Japan a couple of times and have attended shows and got what I was able to while there and make the effort to hunt the stuff down online, but yeah, just gets frustrating having to go through a load of ballache just for a CD with a couple of tracks on or whatever. haha. Or at least they could just do what Jigsaw did and basically release a billion live limited singles and then put them all on one CD that you can get in actual shops later. I totally get that Japanese culture is very different to western culture and whatnot but just find the way some of these bands market themselves very odd sometimes.

Because a lot of people don't live in Japan so aren't able to attend the shows to purchase them maybe? It's cool some of you guys offer to get stuff for people and there is always the second hand route, but either way it's just hassle and personally I'd prefer a brand new copy cutting the middle man out.

Yeah, it kills me a bit sometimes when I listen to something new and am like "is a shame about the drum machine sounding so clinical though" then check and the band does infact have a real drummer. Like why bother with a drummer if you're going to use a machine or produce it to such a point that it does anyway? But yeah a lot of bands seem to be taking the drum machine route these days, think it's just to save recording time/dollar basically.

Like their previous stuff but this release sounds very generic and dull, will be skipping.

Other thing to bear in mind is the lack of energy. In live shows, there's a symbiosis between the band (which gives) and the crowd (which gives back). Without the crowd providing energy, a recording can become sterile. So even if it's technically 'perfect', it can be insincere or even boring.

they added the ranunculus instrumentals they've used in live shows to spotify

im so confused as to why they split it in so many parts

According to this tweet of kagami i doubt it... ;D
 
I can't give a proper translation but here's what google translation says so...
 
"The new songs on the album are really too strong.
I'm a little scared"

B-sides will happen again when they finally do full on Bald Kei. Not just Kyo.

You never know, perhaps this album is taking them into a new lounge jazz/bossa style.
