platanity

i dont care and i dont mind ,

just be next week , and please no delays !

wow this must be REAL GOOD .

i have no regrets on spending $ on this !

2 S.E.'s?! Album fucking DROPPED, 0/10, biggest flop of the year

i did get a slight disappointment, but in a second, i thought that id rather have the 'continuity' instead of an album that feels like a compilation of multiple tracks without connections

i havent noticed this until right now but ,

is this video saying that there is going to 2 SE tracks in this album ? ? ? (see the scrolling subtitles, around 0:37)

id love to listen to those old tracks re-recorded !

updated dazzle was awesome

I cannot imagine how demanding physically and mentally is to be in two bands at the same time.

 

And loved the preview.

i had the same thought .

its whole another level if youre leading 2 national class bands .

ive noticed the production version of the 'new track' has a different piano break down -

i really cannot wait for this ! hopefully fedex ships it smoothly ,

and also finally owning a physical copy of immortalis

OMG . didnt expect that twist in the last 10 seconds , 

cause the sample of the song that was released previously did not have that ! 

i cannot wait for this - 2 more weeks are torturing !

To be fair, this wouldn't be his first time he has worked with a Japanese band. He did play with X Japan many years ago.

ahhh completely forgot about that .

i did have a microscopic hope that chino would be featuring in a collaboration track ,

at least as a backing vocal . i always thought that kyo's singing style evolved from some point

dir en grey touring with korn and deftones . but whatevs .

i pre-ordered this with immortalis heh ,

im just hoping vat doesnt come out ridiculously .

for collaborative tracks, "elisabeth addict" is remixed by Danny Lohner a.k.a. Renholdër, and "latour" is remixed by Wes Borland(Limp Bizkit)

DANNY LOHNER . NO MTHRFCKING WAY .

and Wes Borland ? ? ? ? ? ! !  

how the hell did they get someone like them to do this ? ? ? ? ? ? 

Dir en grey go-touring us and europe is now paying it off !

as a side note, i would loooooooove a new tool album ... its been almost a decade 

since they've released one and after mjk running off mad with apc and puscifer .

oh please, i hope someone could help us out with this one ....

this could really be their last !

i was curious about them since i first saw them in a magazine, 2004, 

but "sleepwalker" was the first song that i have ever heard of them ,

and since then, i did listen to them time to time.

and hands down "9" was their best album imo ,

gemini was really good as well

1. dum spiro spero

2. uroboros

3. arche

4. vulgar

5. kisou

6. macabre

7. withering to death

8. marrow of a bone

9. gauze

i just look at the album as a whole , tho the popular votes are agaisnt to dum spiro spero ,

but i like in the way of contrary . uroboros are almost a tie to dum spiro spero because

ive always thought that both albums share the same ambience, but in a different sonical flavor.

arche and vulgar has the same essence of being "an album packed with 'single' record materials',

meaning each track has a certain value, altho it might lack on continuity as a whole album .

kisou, macabre, withering to death shares the same 'indigenous' sound, a distinct 'japanese' sound ,

altho 3 albums have tracks that are not really catchy, but a 'connecting' track between tracks .

marrow of a bone is a very good album, but it lost a lot of previous 'dir en grey' sound .

gauze...it is just not my kind of a music that i could listen for a long period of time ... too much pink ...

too much 'karaoke' like -

I AM PRE-ORDERING THIS. ILL EVEN GLADLY PAY FOR THAT STUPIDASS VAT TO FEDEX .

Poor Tetsu though, bless his soul.

maybe it's got to do potential remix collab tracks in 'vitium' with relating artists on that list ?

altho tracklist is out but who knows heh .

and i love the the mixing's there !

love lm.c and the novembers

only a couple of days left !

agreeing the post above ,

though it is a very nice track

dir en grey has never let me down for the past 2 decades ,

very looking forward to this record !

wasnt expecting this but now i got something to wait for

immortalis was my #2 memorable record of 2014 -

wow i missed them so much, brings back old memories , its good to see tetsu back!

and they look really slick there  

hopefully ill get to listen all of the new tracks including acoustics!

die looks like some old lesbian tho

im just wondering why am i compelled to agree on this hah ,

i just sincerely hope they do not make something retro or anything remotely close to gauze .

any materials that are extension to what they have been doing (ex: rinkaku, unraveling, sustain) ,

im good to go (and kyo looks nice here heh)

the song's very good like always

but a little weak , almost like a b-side or an album filler .

love the pv tho

very looking forward to this, like always 

Loved every album they've ever done.

same here .

altho ive had personal affection toward mucc since mid 2000's , 

and it peaked when they've release 'kukichi no tou' and then the new era with 'saishu ressha' single ; mucc has never disappointed me .

as for this album , there were many people expecting post 'shangri-la' album but on the contrary ,

this album came out something totally different "once again".

every track has their own purpose and style for this album and i've got to say that they are still trying

something 'new' , although it might still sound as "trying" instead perfection-ing .

and yes i did notice they have tracked some songs with heavily low bass (so whenever i play those songs ,

my computer crushes the sound hah) , but i do like this as well somehow . 

all tracks of this album are gold

score : 7.5/10

This band releases more documentaries than actual music, WTF ?

i would actually love to see more of documentaries than live footages .

you could see them live , but behind it , that's something almost impossible to experience .

i admit this album cant be understated but some might not be fond of this .

despite that, i just love every aspect of this album , 

the technicality, ambience, concept, melody, composition, and the band itself .

but my top tracks are , 

album

2. 鵠 (remixed by PABLO (P.T.P)) : reminded of 'resident evil' soundscore, i love that sweeping bass

3. zephyr (remixed by TK (凛として時雨)) : hands down the best track in remix album , a lot of instruments, cleverly composed without tracks being tangled each other

5. nine melted fiction (remixed by 石井 秀 (cali≠gari, GOATBED)) : another nice track

8. the daemon's cutlery (remixed by 人時) : for the sake of my loyalty toward kuroyume nice drum&bass remix

10. mama (remixed by 橘 尭葉  妖精帝國) : love the pop-twist version track !

 

all in all 9/10 : i somehow had very low interest on tracks what most of the people here were positive about . especially 斑人間, scars like velvet .

admit some tracks had intricate compositions, but i did not perceive the melody as 'interesting' and likable. anyhow, yeh .

In my book, they shouldn't really bother with self-covers - do you guys remember the "LIAR" remake? Yeah, just how sloppy that was...

 

im sorry but i loved every remakes theyve done ,

but again, im have a really biased opinion against every kiyoharu related works so ... hah !

i really hope this somehow comes to my hand someday cause all these years i had to listen to 

youtube rips -_ -. 

1. cracker's baby [l/c]

2. liar [l/c]

3. fairy's malice [?]

4. for you [?]

5. liberation [?]
