    This is sad to hear, I was finally getting really into their VANITAS album. I know this isn't too relevant with the topic but why is there always that one person on a "band disbanding" topic that always has to say "Hopefully they just reform as..." I mean, one can dream and all but the chances of that happening are 1 in a million. Those comments have been irking me lately.

    Well, I personally think Aliene is one million times better than Nega, so even the smallest chances are still chances.

    And they have reformed for one day many, many times, so I wouldn't say the chances are that small.

    Now they should just reform Aliene Mariage and we can have the good stuff

    You mean one of them. The talented one from NEGA, RAY. :lol:

    The rest of them are peasants.

    Yeah, I know it's just Ray. "They" there is Kyoka, Mast and Ray

    Most people think Karma was shitty, but Karma is one of my favorite Mucc albums. This one works like a follow up to it. I did miss some electronics on this one, I was liking what they had been doing with their b-sides and single tracks, but well... we can't get everything we want. Some people will probably dislike some stuff in this album, like the metalcore parts and dubstep drops(all the cool kids hate dubstep and metalcore).

    So... here it goes:

    Mr. Liar - It keeps the old Mucc tradition of starting albums with a bang. It is an interesting track but somehow the melody just doesn't hit me the way it should. 7/10

    G.G. - Sounds like a 2012 version of FUZZ with Kyuutai's chorus wo-ohs. I like it, the bass drop on the breakdown is pretty fine. Overall dancey and fun. 7,5/10

    Arcadia - Arcadia was my favorite single and I still love it. Daishi Dance's piano works very well and we get this electro house tune which has somewhat atmospheric feeling, quite a contrasting thing. It's the sort of thing you'd see the japanese house scene artists doing. 9/10

    Nirvana - Nirvana is the kind of track I've seen Mucc do more than one time by now. Though it has its moments, I don't really like it a lot. 6/10

    Honey - I found it pretty funny and it has some cool moments, but overall I felt it just entered one of my ears and left by the other. 5/10

    Shuuchaku no Kane - This one is REALLY good. Has that 70's japanese folk feeling in it, yet its chorus somewhat shows us mucc's more recent style. 9/10

    Pure Black - reminds me of Sid a lot, and it's pretty fun overall. Something they hadn't done before. 8/10

    Kyouran kyousou 21st century baby - HAHA now this is what I'm talking about. Flamenco-metal thing with

    Tatsurou rapping and growling. One of the most random songs of the year 8,5/10

    Marry You - Catchy, it's well done and everything. I like it, but probably won't listen to it a lot. 7/10

    Yosora no kurepasu - Though I like it, I don't find it as good as Shuuchaku no Kane. On the first listens I thought it was really bland. I just feel it lacks something. 7,5/10

    You and I - This one is so damn random! If it wasn't by 21st century baby, it would probably be Mucc's most random song. The chorus reminds me of Mucc's happier songs, but the rest doesn't really follow that. Love it! 9/10

    Mother - The single I like the least... it's good, but I thought it just didn't have any big moment or anything. It's like I was waiting the whole song for it to start. 5/10

    Shangrila - Great track. A sad ballad, the chorus recalls some of Mucc's older works, yet the melody on the calmer parts is pretty much recent Mucc... 9/10

    Overall, yeah, very good album. I believe I like it as much as Karma by now. I'm not exactly certain if I should give at a 8 or a 9... it's great anyways and I shall listen to it a lot. I do hope Mucc moves on from this sound whenever they get the chance, though.

    It's probably from a phone. On japan they are having some kind of thing where you can set rinkaku to play as your answering machine(dunno if I used the right word here)

    I like it too. I don't really have that much to say, it's just some 10 seconds from 4 minutes songs, lol. But I've seen the track lenghts on those online japanese shops and most are 4 minutes long, except for the last one(Shangrila) which is 6:28. Interesting to see it's mostly an upbeat album, Karma had 3 ballads, this one only has Shangrila and maybe track 6.
