Thank you! I voted the same before seeing your post. It's one of my favorite songs and one of the few mucc songs not avaliable in good quality, because the official recording is terrible.
 
Everyone please help out and vote for Kranke!

I voted for クランケ because why not

Average at best

this band officially has 0 reason to continue on now considering jupiter was literally just versailles with zin
kaisan already!!

First of all: second "vk sucks nowadays"-topic of the year? You already have one from earlier this year.
 
Anyway, try out other bands as well, there's tons of great bands in the scene. It's pretty common that bands who keep going for 10-20 years don't put out the same quality as they did when they were younger, even outside of VK.
 

Time travel kei. Nice.

Right? It's almost like this is some sort of Internet forum where people click on threads and leave comments. 

the fact that a band like this is even allowed to exist in the first place only tells you how far visual kei still is from becoming a serious art. 

Tracklist:
 
01. Pain after Pain
02. BITES THE BLACK
03. PSYCHOPATH BILLY
04. Junky Monkey Boogie Down (Reg. Edition Only)
05. MONTAGE
06. Whisper in silence
 
 
they are back to form - sounds incredible!!!
hopefully the rest of the songs on this minialbum will be on par with this one.

Name: James (God, 神様, etc.)
Age: 24
Years studied: Never really committed to "studying" but I started trying to read the language about 9 years ago
Estimated level: Pre-Beginner
Knowledge of Hiragana/Katakana: Can read all kana, but for some reason my brain can process hiragana much quicker.
Kanji: Maybe 50? But I can only remember to handwrite a few (if any).
What is your main goal with studying Japanese? Reading, Conversational, Vocabulary, and Grammar. I went to Japan back in May and felt very bad that I couldn't hold a conversation in Japanese with *anyone* and I also didn't like having to rely on the English menus at restaurants (haha).
What materials have you used before? I'll try to translate song/album titles whenever possible. I use WWWJDIC, imiwa?, and shirabe-jisho for vocabulary, and as for grammar, I'd just use Google (both translate and search, though the former is not very reliable). Also, I need to just go on a tangent about how fucking stupid it is that people on the internet will translate song lyrics and go into deep analysis about it but they won't even bother trying to translate the actual title! WHY?!

I didn't mention them, because I thought they broke up at the way end of 2015 (didn't know their last live was sometime last year).
 
Tokami is another example of a band breaking up just when they improve. All of their 2015 releases were fantastic, breaths of fresh air. Their 2012-2014 releases were kinda stale. I think it would have been cool if they re-recorded various pre-2015 songs before calling it quits, because their vocalist improved dramatically since Luminescence. However, I'm not really mourning Tokami, because we have Schwarz Kain now, and they're pretty much picking up where Tokami left off.

I put back my little faith on NoGoD after that Godly Missing. 
 
And the album intro start strong.
 
...but after that it turn into poop.

there's not enough material for a decent single on this, and the intro is another GDS rip-off (that track is 14 years old...)
everything aside from 灰色の雪 sounds like pure cancer.
 
this albums overall vibe so far is like idk grieva's creative block mashed with an okay gossip one-coin single and spiceDt up with a dreadful PV track (which I'm absolutely anticipating in its entirety)
 
 
I'd give this 8 involuntary lobotomies out of 10 so far (which equals to 2/10 on an actual, like, quality scale) and won't listen to when it's out aside from le kill

ah that's why....shame though, I love longer albums. Listening to albums is supposed to be a trip, and leaves room for more new songs, but u do u gurls~

Actually, regarding technique, Roji was probably one of the best drummers in the VK circuit. Live, An can't keep up with the original parts Roji use to play because they're so hard. An is not an awful drummer, there's just a pretty extreme gap between his level and Roji's. As a fan I'm kind of disappointed.

They claim that the album versions of 閉ざされた楽園 and 冬のカスタネット are different from the single versions, but I don't notice any difference; so no re-recordings on under-world. What they should have done with 冬 though is use the instrumental version; it sounds great and would have been PERFECT after the long and epic 激声.
 
Beautiful Freaks has a re-recording of Identity, but I think The Cry Against ME was just remix with re-recorded vocals/drums; the other songs were unchanged.
 
As for NO SMART, 群青 had re-recorded drum and vocal tracks (but I think the guitar tracks were only remixed); ZERO and 梟 were unchanged.
 
I am glad that they re-recorded Happy life, since it's two years old now. I do find it strange that they changed 傘と雨, the most recent single, but left 平日の女, a song released an entire year before, completely untouched. And when I listened to the album, I could have sworn that 傘と雨 just had a new vocal track and everything else was just remixed... huh.
