Hotarubi was the first DEG song I heard and not even that "special" meaning can stop me from calling it boring after i listened to more from the band.
As bad as MOB is as a studio album I can't ignore that when played live is one of their best.
DSS is the exact opposite for me, great studio album but while good live most of the songs the band can't fully recreate them.
But everything they have recorded lately sounds like shit but then sound amazing when heard live. The Mode of... dvds made me see appreciate all albums in their own ways but if I were to pick the worst studio album it's Kisou.
