I'll try make this go back on topic... I keep listening to the preview, I love the guitar style. It sounds more like their Vulgur/Withering/Marrow days rather than Uroboros/Hageshisa's style.

She actually has talent: 4Q97ilVo1T4

I'm not sure about the vocals. They sound too loud, but this is just a LQ preview so can't judge the mixing of the song yet. But it does sound promising.

There's nothing wrong with the PV sample.. it just sounds like NOW. No differences whatsoever. destiny sounds so generic.. and I cringe at the use of turntables here. this is really bad.. how could they go downhill so fast?

I WHIP MAH HAIR BACK AND FORTH Discuss.

I hate to bash on bands, but they have just become a joke. I can't believe I used to like their earlier material. I feel so dirty.

Was I the only person who thought EROS was.. well.. shit? They can do better, lets hope Jesus brings them back to form.

"new evolution", I like the sound of that. Can't wait to hear it! It does sound like its going to stick to the "progressive metal" sound of Uroboros though. Mixture of softer and harder sounds.

How the hell are they indie pop? dear god... I don't like the cover either, no taste at all. But not going to judge the album from that.

Wow.. that cover is my favourite from them for a long time. I get a "pop" feel from this cover.. secretly hoping they go back to writing some good catchy melodies. Anything is possible at this stage, really.

Sing grows on you after a while, its one of my favourites off the album.

I'm addicted to "Coldest Winter" ATM, its amazing. <3 I love the tribal drums from 808s.

I don't think it will be a ballad either. I hope its a mid-tempo song, but nothing like anything off UROBOROS.

^ everything you said is so true. And yep, he has really worked his way back up from what happened to him. He let the music do the talking.

My favourite hip-hop artist. His latest "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" is one of my albums of the year. But recently I've been discovering how good "808s and Heartbreaks" is. Any other fans?

They haven't really made anything remarkable lately anyway. New look and new style of cover art might mean something fresh and new.

Her verse in "Monster" by Kanye West is awesome! so her album sucks?

That might be true for their last single, but before that we usually get the PVs before the single is released. Pretty sure GLASS SKIN and Dozing Green PVs were screened on music TV before the single release.

9 tracks, probably average each song is probably around 4 mins long. That's 36 minutes worth of songs. That is including the ones we have heard already. That is too short. I think MUSIC was around that long. As the 9 song album is the limited edition. They always take a few songs out for the limited edition with the DVD. With 'Opening' being an intro, album is only 10 songs long.

I'm happy with that OBSCURE re-make as well.

another re-recorded track?

Chester's always been involved in electronic projects.. doesn't surprise me that LP took an electro turn.

In my opinion, the worst year for VK music since I started listening to it. A whole lot of dissapointments. Or maybe I'm just moving on from visual music, since its beginning to all sound so uninspired. Although, I don't think I've checked out a single new band this year which hasn't helped. Only release I can think of thats worthy of mention is: D'espairsRay - MONSTERS If we look outside of the visual scene, I'd add Ayumi Hamasaki's "Rock'n'Roll Circus" and OLIVIA's Greatest Hits. So I sit here until something comes that blows me away again. As for singles, there were a few more success stories there, but since this is a top albums thread I won't mention those here.

There are three EPs in the Body Talk series, but she's released a 'Body Talk' album which is a compilation of most of the songs from the three EPs. I'd check that release out as it has all the best songs. She didn't leave many songs out, only 6 songs missed out on the final album, a few of those only being acoustic versions of album songs.
