im calling the narcs on both of you

Docu from 2014 called Beautiful Noise, it's about the shoegaze scene. Pretty okay at a surface level, cuz all the music that appears is totally great, but at the same time I ended up feeling sort of... disappointed. Especially considering it took 10 years to finish.. Although from what I heard, a major reason for that was because the director apparently wanted to gather funds to pay for the licensing to use all the different music in the movie lol.. Still. It felt like the movie was too entry level for people already interested in the genre, yet at the same time not entry level enough for people who know next to nothing about it. The interviews were somewhat interesting, but at the same time it felt like all the artiss involved were just presented with the same list of 5 - 10 questions and that's all. Also it might've just been my copy (piracy ayyy) but the visual quality looked like the director filmed everything using a cell phone camera or smth It's still worth watching if only for the good music, and i'm happy the 'gaze scene's gettin at least SOME exposure, but... could've been so, so much better.

proof once again that the hard drug ''weed'' is a gateway for people to becoming degenerate criminals

Yayoi's corpse which will be found in 2 weeks floating facedown in tokyo river, wrapped in a RR flag

i dont even listen to this band, but based on the dirt that came up regarding them in that RR thread I hope they tank hard and disband cuz they sound like douchebags

imagine visual kei jail though

i literally have no idea who that even is, so if it was then it's a diss coming from the astral plane or some shit tbqh Also @Zeus, to add to that, I sometimes wonder how many of these undocumented deaths may or may not be related to alcohol- or drug-related causes, 'cause god fucking knows there's been enough rock musicians from the western world dying due to accidental OD's and shit like that. I can especially see how that sort of thing could be seen as 'shameful' by the victim's families in such cases

I give them 6 months tops

that's way too many people in 1 band, get out, half of y'all are just gonna dance around on stage anyway

The PV aesthetics and the song (based on the preview) don't seem to match at all lol

So how many of these AREN'T old tracks? lol

"baking buns" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

wtf they're not even brutal 0/10 doesnt deserve to be on the list Nah, actually, I'm quite frankly surprised to see this album appear here. Pleasantly surprised, but surprised nevertheless. Mostly just because I didn't feel it reflected the majority of the active userbase's taste.. Anyway, most of the things I've heard that Sou and Zull have been involved in (well, maybe except for The Candy Spooky Theater) have been quite stellar. I dont actually know who's responsible for composing most of Silence's material, but I sure as hell do enjoy the atmosphere they manage to create w/ their music. Also agree w/ the statement that they appear to have ''sacrificed'' some of the more dense/abstract elements of their style for a somewhat more accessible sound, but the end result's still good. Not ''Tokage's personal top 10 of the year'' good, but undeniably stellar nevertheless.

It's so weird how Cascade was basically playing like... Britpop, except japanese or something back in the '90s.. that's the only way i can think of describing their old style.
