Definitely not surprising, but still upsetting. I miss their good days too... I guess I don't have anything original to say. Miss their days of Versus and before and everything since has been very lackluster. I knew this was coming... But I'll follow the members to new projects.

Wait the where is night dreamer from? There's definitely two songs on the best of I don't have on any of their releases... I so confused ;_;

Night Dreamer seems okay, but I like the PV for world in flames. That's probably my favorite song of theirs. How many new songs are on this best of? Two right? And are there cover arts yet?

I really enjoyed the clip! I think the song will be great.

Oh.

My.

God.

I'm actually tearing up from excitement. PLEASE COME BACK TO ME!!!!

Sorry but this is incredible news.

Anyone remember 2NE1's song with will.i.am? We'll Take The World On has officially been released.

That's the song, and if anyone wants to download it:

Personally, I think it's pretty fun. It's nothing totally spectacular, groundbreaking, or massive, but it's fun. It was released for White Day in South Korea as a part of some Intel Project thing.

At this point, it's pretty safe to say that 2NE1's American debut album has been scrapped. I had heard talk about that for a long time, but the most recent news on their project I've gotten is that the songs for the album that have been recorded are probably never going to see the light of day.

As for their Korean comeback, as I've said it's supposed to be in April. I think that's pretty likely. They probably chose to release this for White Day since it's in March and their album is supposed to come out in April so it's like a teaser. Maybe.

Or maybe it's wishful thinking. Idek.

That image really does look awesome! Eraser, do you have an image of just Deicida of Silence's cover art you can post? If not that's cool, just curious.

I save all the album art when they're announced so I don't forget when the actual album comes out.

But the preview sounds really really awesome, I'm actually looking forward to this even though I haven't liked a damn thing since Seven. That actually sounds really good, I hope they don't try to get pointlessly heavy or br00tl on it.

I liked Division, excited for this as well.

It's probably going to be at least an EP, but I'm always excited for his music. I adore him Nd he looks FLAWLESS!!!

I've a feeling DOOR TO THE SKY will be the best song.

I would just like to second that completely. The album is totally incredible. My only complaint is I would have loved to hear Psychic Paradise instead of Camel. Other than that one minor complaint, every song is brilliant. I think this is the first time that one of their concepts didn't fall a little short to me, it's their most cohesive album yet.

Favorite songs:
Gloria
Innovational Symphonia
Sword
Plastic Lover
Merry Drinker
Midnight Fanfare
Akuma no Tsubasa
Kassai to Gekijou no Gloria

7 song mini album? Totally here for that. Very excited

Love the preview!!!

@Furik I only say it because it's suspicious and would make one think. Megaromania, Rin, and Versailles all released best of's because of their disbandment and it almost seems likely for -OZ-. I don't think D or DEATHGAZE are near disbandment, but it's just a hypothesis.

@sixblacknine Didn't know it's the first time they're touring outside Japan, but still. No one tours America. "Maybe they will one day" is to open-ended for me. I'm never going to get to see any of my favorite VK bands because they never come anywhere close to me anymore. Missed Versailles and D'espairsRay for reasons and now that those reasons are irrelevant I'm not going to miss anyone else. Saw Dir en grey ONE TIME. It's just tiring to see all of my favorite bands go to Europe and South America (when they go outside of their own country), but meanwhile here I am with equal access to Philadelphia and New York City. I'd even go to fucking Boston or DC for most bands and yet they all seem to go to California and freaking Texas for some reason. I just don't get it.

Like the name of the new song, hopefully we can see the cover art soon... Unless it's up somewhere and I missed it.

Cool, cool. Hopefully we can get our hands on them somehow...

All of the songs sound totally amazing. I loved Justice, but this is an improvement even from that. It is probably going to be very hard to top this album in the future. 

Amazing news for the single, but I wish they would tour America once. And I hope this best of album doesn't mean a disbandment or some sort of activity pause... Everyone is releasing best of albums this year...

UPDATE:

CL spoke to Billboard about 2NE1's comeback, even though YG said merely two weeks ago that the album would be out in March, CL says it was pushed yet again until April. Wouldn't be bad if there wasn't so much precedent. She also said that after the comeback album, she would have a solo alum out and that there may be a 2NE1 feature on will.i.am's solo debut album.

Finally an alice nine. single I can get behind! That sounded great, loved the chorus, beat is really cool. Dance/rock is always good in my opinion.

Thank God my fav got negative awards

Also couldn't agree less with the non-Japanese albums.

But I do like how much I see Luna Sea and Matenrou Opera up there.

Yet another best of? Are they still putting out a new album this year?

For me, the album was really outstanding. Now, if they had put out a lot of albums and singles recently in the last couple years that really blew me away would this fact have been any different? Probably not, but I wouldn't hold it in such high regard that I do now. My own personal view on it is that Kakera and Genjitsu had maybe two songs on them a piece that stood out, but overall they weren't memorable and did nothing for me. The last full piece of work put out by this band that I took a step back and really had to marvel at was Gokusaishiki roughly five years ago. Now, I'm sitting here listening to the album for the third time as I write this and my love just keeps growing. The only bad part to me is Stand Up! which I can probably grow accustomed to after a while, even though it was a single and I never listened to it much after it's initial release.

I'd have to say the strongest songs on the album include Gense Horror Show, Sora no Kouen, Pandora, Yume no Awa, IV-Tasha (Philosophia), and Kanjou. Those in particular show off a variety of different skills that the band has strengthened over the years.

I don't know if anyone else is a Michelle Branch fan, and I'm well aware that this is such a huge stretch, but if you listen to Here With Me by Michelle Branch and then Yume no Awa the chorus of the songs sound very similar. Two totally unrelated artists, but they really do sound pretty similar. Even though I think Yume no Awa is a beautiful acoustic song, I think it's a missed opportunity for it to be a slightly longer song with voice... In the same way I felt about D's Hikari no Niwa.

But really I mean that's all I have to say. The album is a solid 9 in my opinion.

That sounds fucking outstanding. I'm now hyped for this release.

This is pretty unfortunate. I loved Artistical Glint and thought they had just found how to make their sound the best it can be. I was finally over Metis Gretel's disbandment and now this

Oh well, I'm sure Sui won't be totally done with music.
