oh my god, dir en grey and birthday massacre together. you guys are so fucking lucky!!! and at this stage, they've basically done everywhere except Australia. WHY WONT THEY COME

^ maybe because many of us grew up with Manson's music? Or NIN?

The best sitcom in years. Have seen all 4 seasons. Has not slowed down in laughs. amy farafowler <3

Still see it in 3D, but I'd probably watch 2D first.

chasm scene? oh is this where harry and voldemort throw themselves off the bridge at hogwarts in the trailer? oh! I saw it in 3D as well, doesn't have any real amazing 3D scenes except for one or two. Feels like it was added after.

Just came back from watching it. Amazing film, a few little differences from the book, few sections feel 'sped up' from the book but that's to be expected. Can't believe its all over

wow, what a terrible lineup. And from pulling Marilyn Manson to 2009 to getting "Black Veil Brides"..

Have loved his music since I can remember. Probably my first introduction into metal and industrial music. High End of Low had some decent songs on it, but no, doesn't come close to his peak. I think I enjoyed "Eat Me, Drink Me" more because it was a departure from what he was used to making. New album has me excited.

Blossoming Beelzebub was one of the better previews. Diabolis had a similar sound as well. Almost like noise-rock... Can't wait for this, its already shaping up to be one of their better albums.

Nope, Bastard (his 1st album) is hit-and-miss too. I like Goblin for the individual tracks that are amazing (Yonkers, Radicals, She and Sandwitches), but there is also a lot of filler. I need to hear the whole EARL album, his rapping is probably better than Tyler's. Has a way with words. I love the beat in the song EARL though, that distorted electro-noise is freaking amazing. Frank Ocean is worth checking out too, have heard a few of his tracks from his mixtape, pretty good.

Love that cover. And their new promo pictures are so visual kei, haha

I know he's said the rest of the album is different to the singles. I was just commenting on those tracks.

The 3 singles aren't always easy listening, but they are. They all have such catchy choruses.

errr.. i didn't mean to offend anyone and i apologise if I did. My previous post was pretty clear - using "gay" and "faggot" in a negative connotation is offensive and I don't ever do that in real life. BUT I just wanted to make a thread about an artist I like musically and to talk about it with other fans. I don't like to think im promoting homophobia by listening to his music. Or rape. Or murder. Or disrespect to women. I don't take it seriously. That was my whole point. And I certainly don't deserve to be ambushed for making a thread on Tyler. I was just stating his response to the homophobia allegations. Back on topic... I love "French" too! Bastard is pretty good as well, need to check out the whole first album. Another good song - Earl Sweatshirt's "EARL". Awesome stuff. Anyone who wants an introduction, watch this: XSbZidsgMfw

lmao @ this heavy debate again. Almost every dir en grey thread has one douchebag who comes along and decides to call them 'not metal' or 'not heavy'. roll fucking eyes. Back on topic... I was listening to the 3 singles today, and I have to say it might be one of the strongest single-combinations they have come up with.

He's responded to the homophobic comments but saying that he uses those words with negative connotations to describe, not that he is actually against gay people. eg. "that's gay" Its still offensive, but not necessarily homophobic. Who knows if he's telling the truth though. And if you are going to take everything he raps about so seriously - I think there's worse messages to worry about eg. KILL PEOPLE, BURN SHIT, FUCK SCHOOL from the song "Radicals" and constant references to rape and murder. Yet Tyler's use of gay and faggot is the most controversial?

That's true, just that the review said there was none - that's why i raised that point. Although, I'm kind of expecting that not every new track is going to be without a chorus or hook of some sort.

That review has got me excited. DIFFERENT SENSE seems to be a representation of most of the things he/she has said about the album a whole. as for no "singalong choruses" - I don't really agree with that based off the album's first two singles, which had pretty clear chorus sections.

Yes, their sound needs to change big time. At least more experimentation with their softer/mellower side. Or a change to their heavy sound which has become very boring.

She has some pretty decent songs. Loved all the singles from the latest album. E.T. is probably her best song yet. TGIF is good too.

Anyone a fan? I heard 'Yonkers' a couple of weeks ago and haven't been able to stop listening to Tyler's music since. Some of the most amazing hip-hop I've ever heard.

Different Sense is amazing. I love almost everything about it. I love the transition from heavy to melodic, their last 3 a-sides show they are becoming masters at this skill. its disappointing that people are put off by a song that's structure is not verse-chorus-verse-chorus. - 9/10 the b-side is terrible though. completly unimaginative next to different sense.

I'm really put off by those amazon samples. But they always seem to pick the worst part of a song to sample. Kyo's growling is great and all, but there just doesn't seem to be anything else going on there. No idea how this sample and the other two will fit together. The structure is sounding more like hageshisa as we go.

I don't think his WTD screams were bad.. they were just a different style.
