I forgot to add TK too (his lyricwork makes me crack up sometimes tho -"Fake's Plastic World/Keep It Secret Motion"??!!) - off my
: 
 
Just - wow.

Bonus additions I forgot the first time around:
Kenji Ohtsuki and andymori. Oh, and TK from Rin Toshite Shigure's interesting if only for the amount of times he can cram the words ''plastic'' or ''tornado'' into a song

When will Dir en grey finally step it up and add more traditional folk instruments / horns / saxophones or whatever to their sound.... that would be tight.....

Imagine if you will they combined their last three albums together with David Bowie's last album Blackstar. As in the jazz and electronica aspects and then add the traditional folk instruments.

Agreeing with Ryo, Temari, Hitomi, Mako, the Plastic Tree gang and old MUCC. Based only on the translations i've read, i also thought Liphlich, Guruguru Eigakan, Jun Togawa, Inugami Circus Dan, Strawberry Song Orchestra, The Gallo, Merry and cali≠gari have interesting lyrics.

the topic of lyrics has been discussed a lot on here, whether they're important or not etc its all subjective lalala.
for those of us that take them heavily into consideration/find them important, who are your favourite lyricists?
a lot of my honmei bands are distinguished by brilliant lyrics, thats the way i can latch onto a band. if the vocal is expressing themselves in a way that i can relate, their music and words take on a new, more sentimental value. of course, the lyricists mentioned wouldn't have resonated without a decent western following who translated lyrics, interviews, other material; so im sure there are a few artists who are equally brilliant but not mentioned similarly in the western fandom as there simply aren't resources to understand what they're saying.
none of these translations are mine
 
mako (ex. deadman, kein)
 
temari (ex. amber gris, ruvie)
 
hitomi (ex. moran, fatima)
 
daisuke (ex. kagerou, the studs)
 
tsuzuku (mejibray)
 
ryo (keel)
theres a bunch more great lyricists (nigu, kazuma, yuuki, ruki, kyo etc), but these are my favs tell me yours!
i swear im not that big of a sap

This is why you never get the full version of Winrar

Well, damn, I hope the guy gets well and all, but... goddamn, postponing that album AGAIN? At this point they could just as well fucking use session musicians or something..

Insidious 3: Weakest chapter out of the 3, for sure. Still entertaining to watch, but.. why so many jumpscares, bro? I mean, the previous parts had them too, but this one felt like it was just ALL jumpscares. Oh, and that old lady vs old lady/man ghost fight near the end was just ridiculously cheesy, I actually cringed a little... That scene with the lung cancer ghost moving through the girl's room while she's lying helpless on the floor was damn good though.
