I'm kind of indifferent about CD or Vinyl, but CDs are easier to rip so yea... I own both tho!

 

But as long as I can hold it, smell it, see it, it's good haha! I enjoy looking through booklets and cover art and all that. That is also part of the "album" experience, not just the music, as the artist also put time and effort into stuff like the art and packaging.

 

 

Wow now I am looking forward to this. This could be their best work yet! And even if not, it'll be the first worthwile stuff they've put out since 2006.

And I think Wataru took singing lessons(thank God), he actually sounds good now! And he can finally do his harmony vocals in tune haha.

They totally fell off my radar but I'm happy they're still around! Just hoping the best-album won't mean a soon disbandment..

This, pretty much.

This was the first CD I bought from my own money, still own it.

 

And this was the first one I bought by myself.

 

Alright, time for an update.
 

This is my band, Skinny as a Whale. We're a rock band with grunge, stoner, punk and alternative influences(and a lot more) from The Netherlands. The band originally started as a 3-piece band in 2011, I joined the band in 2012 as vocalist/rhythm guitarist. By now we have a new guitarist and bassist, the drummer is the only original member left.

Here's a live clip of us:

I'll post important updates in this topic, thanks for checking out my band!

Savatage best album because it had a second disc with rare bonus tracks.
I was like 8 and wanted rarez already.

Fully agree, their decline began after that imo They should go remind their roots instead of probably doing a half-assed major debut..

Speaking of that era, I found the sample of the original distributed version of "Misty" in their archived early OHP, it's slightly different (same applied to "over again" ) to the version on "Eve's apple". ~For your interest~ I have no hopes that anyone has the full version though lol

I know this isn't actually the thread for making requests, but does anyone still have the 2005 ver. of "over again" and didn't replace it with Demon-Android-copy-paste-ver.? Before I lost it I remember it was 2000% better than the 2006 ver.

I should have that version of over again somewhere, if I find it I'll send you a PM!

Yep, I agree that it is definitely their best work.

Considering all the signs, unless they restart under a new name...

All hope is probably gone that they'll ever honor those works.

Thirsty probably still my favorite of the bunch..

Yea Thirsty is probably my favourite too.

But Ringing and RAT are great too.

Such a shame they never did anything with those songs.

any wagers on whether they'll include their first few singles?

No chance(if you mean Decay, And to the End, Scene in the Misereal).

Ever since 2007/2008 they've denied the existance of those(even though they're still their best work to this day).

Do you have scans or at least album art of their demos? I've been looking on Yahoo.jp on and off for about a year and a half and haven't been able to find anything aside from their self titled or NeoCrimes.

 

The only demo I own by them is 思考回路と遮断神経, and other than that I only have CONP and NeoCrimes.

I used to have scans on my old laptop but it died some time ago, and now I have no scanner...sorry!

Radwimps influence much lol.

Musically definitely not bad, but his voice... Not sure what to think of it yet.

K from Pay Money To My Pain's English was pretty good too.

And Haneto's vocalist's English is decent.

Awoi in Netherlands.

 

And for the love of god, bring Tokyo Heroes to Europe. Anywhere.

REALLY interested in this but also very scared they'll fuck the songs up completely. Bottom of the Death Valley and Karasu are both great songs (most of them are actually) and I'd like to see how they've reworked them, but afraid it's gonna be a letdown.

Wow noway, that is so unexpected.

I loved him in Gun Dog, and PMTMP was also a good band.

RIP, very saddening.

Wow really cool Shaka still does stuff with Pool and Acmahead songs!

Good work, like it! Hadn't commented on the band cover yet but it sounds really good!

What kind of mic do you use to record the vocals?

Dude stay in a band for once... hope Akito won't disappear.

No news on Kouta.

Kyotaro changed his name to Kyo and is now the singer of Cockroach, non-visual band.

Noway

Holy fuck I need this.

Wow Radwimps-inspired look much. Music is decent.
