    RE: bands making "albums" that are really compilations: I don't mind this so much when the material on it was "rare" or live-limited and the tracks flow well. Personally, I find albums easier to get into than singles. Singles are what I listen to after I've listened to a band's album(s)  and have really gotten into them, otherwise they slip my radar. I am interested in the MORRIGAN album, though I think they should have just branded it as a "rarities collection," focused more on rare tracks and less on mini-album tracks, and nobody would be pissed off. Also, keep in mind that not everybody downloads everything, and not everybody hunts auction sites/second-hand shops.

    THAT GODDAMN CHURCH

    I NEED TO FIND THIS CHURCH! It might as well be declared a tourist attraction.

    I'm not sure how to explain it but I feel like VK has a problem with  choruses. So often I hear songs that sound amazing only to be ruined by a boring chorus that doesn't seem to organically connect with the rest of the song, sounds uncharacteristically happy like an explosion of kittens and rainbows in musical form or is just bland and lacks the kind of punch you would expect from a chorus.

    At least half of Pentagon's discography (maybe 75%). Almost every song of theirs I hear, as soon as the chorus hits I'm like "WTFWHYYYYYY??" Seems to get worse with every release.

    The string of band members who have the 'no talkie' schtick. It's less that I hate it, because sometimes I'm cool with it (like shamelessly, I think Meto does it well), but then I keep seeing it and sometimes it just either feels unnecessary or like they don't really have enough personality sans voice to pull it off. It's less that I can't stand them and more that I sometimes go 'why?'

    I think Meto just shuts up on camera because he doesn't like his voice to be recorded, but will talk at in-store events, etc. (?) I cannot verify this information, can't remember where I read it, it could be 100% wrong and totally bullshit lol.

    We should just call this time of the year Lynch. season.

    I'm already looking forward to next year's album XD

     

    Also pre-ordered the fuck out of this. Limited edition is on sale at Amazon.co.jp for ¥2,819, and the shipping is faster and cheaper than icky EMS.

    Wow. This happened... okay.

     

    The reactions were both amusing and cringe-y at times, and I'm glad most of them were able to dig THE INVISIBLE WALL. Since the hosts of the video were trying to make a point that VK is a more diverse scene, and not just "ladyboy carnage metal," then they should have used PVs from some different bands and different times .

    The joys of firing up another web browser with a slow as fuck proxy for 16 seconds of ...... that?! I could barely hear shit thanks to that stupid voiceover, but from what I could hear, it sounds like it'll be a good song. It's nothing too special, but enjoyable nonetheless.

    I really want to go to the SF show, but I have class 'til 7 (which is when they open doors, I guess), and my uni is an hour away, so... I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it.

     

    I'm also wondering if anyone went to one of the previous shows ( @Original Saku, @emmny ?) and what they thought.

    Can't say I'm into the wrist-cutting of it all, but I saw it coming. When a VK band uses the word カミソリ, we all know what that means. Also, trying to understand what exactly is going on in the video. My best guess: girl gets bullied, starts cutting herself, people find out about it and leave flowers on her desk?? Also, after the end of the preview, what is that man on the right handing her? Some pocket size rocket launcher to blow up her bullies?

     

    Love that scream after the chorus, though.

    F.A.K.E. kinda brought me back to 2012, and OUTRAGE SEXUALITY reminded me of INVADER as well (which I was expecting). The songs are definitely not "AVANT-GARDE" as the album title says, but they're still enjoyable lynch. tracks.

     

    Also, since their graphic designers always fail miserably with typography, I modded the album cover to have no text:

    Somebody out there was actually retarded enough to ship a record IN A FUCKING BUBBLE MAILER. The sleeve was bent severely on every corner. Record itself unscathed. If you wanna add bubble wrap padding, fine whatever, but it's common fucking knowledge to ship a goddamn record in a goddamn RECORD MAILER BOX!!! What a goddamn fucking moron! I should have offered that seller $3 instead of $25.

    I at least hope Sony will release the full song on the JP/US stores. I mean, they probably won't since they only released the bullshit "radio edit" of anima, and Sony has become the official poster label for pure unadulterated bullshit, but I can still hope... :/

     

    I just don't give a shit about the "b-side" tracks

    Short answer: DEZERT > AvelCain

     

    Long answer:

    I was practically in love with AvelCain in early 2014 when they released their self-titled album, and that album is one of the best VK albums of 2014. They were stronger with their album/mini-albums, and some of their singles were weak. When they released おまじない, I was so excited, and I thought things were gonna get better, but instead that 秒 guy joins and they release a sub-par single, and it all just went downhill from there. They completely sizzled out (IMO).  I still really enjoy their music, but I get annoyed when I see them, and I get annoyed when I have one of their songs stuck in my head for several hours.

     

    DEZERT, on the other hand, have had strong releases across the board. Their second album is not my favourite, but still rather enjoyable. They have a very unique style, of compositions resembling 10 year old VK songs with a sound inspired by western 90's nu-metal/hardcore. I anticipate great things to come from this band in the future. I'm looking forward to the future of DEZERT.

    On the (mini)-album 「嘘と女と『　　　　』」 why is the third track モーゼルのピストル【murder.ver】? As far as I know there was no other version of that track released....unless it was one of those super obscure live-limiteds?

    This is more of a question for @paradoxal, I think. But IIRC, "murder version" is just on the live-limited version, and there's a normal version on the nationwide release without the gunshots. I'm pretty sure that's what para told me.
