Disagree about 絶望, I like that song. As for Chiyoda line, I used to love it when NO SMART first came out (as I loved every track), but it doesn't really hold up anymore... at least not when you listen to it in the context of the full album.

I actually thought the "double mini album" concept worked out just fine. I never listen to DIVISION as a full length album and I always forget about the regular edition until someone brings it up (the tracklist doesn't flow as well, imo). I do agree that 余韻 is one of their best songs between 2011-2013, I just wish it was longer.

I only got into last.fm several months before it went down the shitter and even I miss it. The only use it really has to me is a place to upload album art (haha).

These looks are probably for album anniversary tours, but they'd go great with "Rebuild" albums, like what MUCC are doing with the 新-albums. A rebuild version of Puppet Show especially would be cool.

NOOOOOOO--! Well, I can't wait to shell out ¥10,000,000 for this... 😒

Edited the topic title to include the album and tour. I hope the tour pans out well for those in Europe. Really looking forward to CORPSE MANSION. I still haven't given TRANQUILIZER a full listen yet, but the fact alone that it was released sparked my interest in the band.

DADAROMA - BILK I'm addicted to this song, it's audible crack

水槽 should have been the single instead of 毒虫, it is worlds better! The BONEHEAD preview sounded okay, but not enough to warrant buying the track, and the 面倒くさいの唄 preview was garbage.

That ... wasn't as disjointed as I expected. It could have been a lot worse! It would have been better without the synth, that was just unnecessary. Single is up on iTunes (JP): https://itunes.apple.com/jp/album/毒虫-ep/id1253748267

Two DEG albums, MUCC's latest album, MERRY's 個性者ブレンド・クラッシック (picture disc, legitimacy is debated; pic discs sound like garbage), a few singles by cali≠gari, that's pretty much it. It's too bad VK doesn't embrace vinyl. With their "50 type releases" business model, I could see them doing a wide variety of different colours to go with different types. And they would most certainly do live-limited vinyl colours, just to be extra cunty.

MERRY not ever pressing anything on vinyl is criminal. This applies to pretty much every good VK band, though.

If I was in Japan, I'd consider snagging this from the ¥100 racks just to check out the re-recordings. The main track isn't too enticing, though. This is definitely not worth ¥1,600.

There's no "practically" about it. It will be a travesty

And don't forget 新痛絶, we need that shit!

Checked the sample... it's doujin trash with VK branding. Also, the vocals make me think "Cristina Scabbia singing actual gibberish"

I imagine you'll be right, although in my case, utafumi will probably feel like just another album track instead of a recycled single. I can only remember the chorus, since I watched the preview vid several times, but I've only listened to the full song once. It's about as memorable as IMMORTALIS. DEG singles just aren't that interesting to me by themselves. I'm also hoping the best-of album is re-recordings. Kind of ridiculous to announce something like this an entire year and a half in advance. I kind of just assumed that they abandoned this project after the "Twitter project" thing from last September.

Those R指定 vibes

OMFG I NEED FOOTAGE OF CHIYODA LINE DEMOCRACY!! I mean, the original version is fun and all, but a death metal version would be, like, 1,000x better! I'd also really like to hear how they (at least tried to) make a death metal arrangement of 傘と雨. If this show was not recorded/filmed, a crime has been committed.

・R指定 - Sink ・相川七瀬 - サイレントノイズ ・a crowd of rebellion - 梟 ・LM.C - ツメタイヒカリ ・緒方恵美 - みらいいろ ・氣志團 - プラットホーム ・清春 - メランコリック ・GOOD ON THE REEL - 空白の日 ・THE NOVEMBERS - アンドロメタモルフォーゼ ・People In The Box - エンジェルダスト ・PELICAN FANCLUB - 水色ガールフレンド ・MUCC - 3月5日。 ・Plastic Tree - ゼロ (re-recording) Source: https://www.barks.jp/news/?id=1000144244#utm_source=tw_BARKS_VISUAL&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=tw_auto None of the bands are covering Sabbath, so I'm gonna rampage and riot in the streets. Also, disappointed that Sink is appearing on this release. But I'm cool with a crowd of rebellion covering 梟 (can't wait to hear their vocalist actually sing in actual Japanese), THE NOVEMBERS covering Andrometamorphosis, and Plastic Tree themselves re-recording ZERO.

Every time I see that there's a new post, I'm hoping it's a revealed tracklist. I already know I'm gonna buy this album, I'm just dying to know what the tracklist is like.

I can already say that ADORATIO is the most engaging sukekiyo release to date. I've been following them since day one, but always had trouble getting into their music (don't know why). With IMMORTALIS, I loved "elizabeth addict," and I've probably listened to it 1,000 times by now, but the rest of the album only got one listen; nothing after that really captured my attention, and it felt too long to go back to. VITIUM I also only listened to once a long time ago, while at work (back in my kitchen days); it was a nice album, pretty chill, but nothing really stood out to me. ADORATIO I've listened to once and already intend to listen to more; every track had something that stood out, something to love, and I grew to appreciate 耳ゾゾ even more (another song that I listened to once then ignored). This album also encourages me to go back to previous material and pay closer attention to further releases. ADORATIO is the sukekiyo release I've been waiting for since they formed. The album cover is hideous as shit, though (lol). Also, speaking of 耳ゾゾ, does anyone know how to translate the title? I managed to translate every other title on the album, but I couldn't come up with anything for ゾゾ that made sense...

High resolution covers for the live-limited versions 新痛絶 is plain af of course, but I love this version of 新葬ラ謳, because of how closely it resembles the original booklet cover.

Damn now I'm starting to kick myself for not scheduling my Japan trip for early July

I was looking forward to the collabs, particularly elizabeth addict. I was really hoping kyo's dumb out-of-place screeching in the middle would have been replaced, it's literally the only thing wrong with that song, but no, it was preserved. I'm curious to hear the collaboration version of mama, because ガラ, but other than that, I don't really care anymore lol.

Hells yeah, I gotta make it to either the Sacramento or SanFran show, I was gonna see them on the PINK tour but I couldn't
