Album art you can do. To go to the album of an artist you can enter it right in your address bar. I'm going to use lynch. as an example. If you want to add album artwork for THE AVOIDED SUN for example, you just go here: http://www.last.fm/music/lynch./THE+AVOIDED+SUN Most follow that format. If there's no album artwork there you'll see an option to upload album artwork. Get a nice, big picture and upload it and you're done. Titles are a bit trickier. If you're wanting to correct capitalization just request the staff to do it. Most of the time, unless they have a reason not to they'll do it. They can't add, delete or correct titles though so if you have an obvious mistake like Black:List's griefj track there's no fixing that. All you can do is correct the wrong tags to scrobble to the right ones. Even that's abused though since people can't come to a consensus on how to communally tag things

1) I assume if they ever found out that you were impersonating a record company they'd outright IP ban you and delete your profile. From their perspective I don't think they want a lawsuit thrown their way because someone decided to be a record company and offer all of an artist's tracks for free through their service. Then again, I also don't think it's that easy to impersonate a record label. There's probably lots of paperwork involved and any random person can't just do it without a lot of spare time and effort. 2) If you mean add the tracks and proper times for an album, no. It's rather infuriating since the record companies don't get it right and don't give a shit. Then again, the shitstorms that stem over how to tag PERESTROIKA makes me glad we don't have that option. Too many people would fuck it up.

For me, I honestly don't know. I have no reason to hate relationships because I haven't been in one to hate it but all the nonsense around me makes me not want to try. Imminent generalization here but...: I can't find a girl that's good for me around here. I hear it over and over again that I'm not enough of a "challenge" and that I'm too nice of a guy and that no girl will ever go for me because I don't conform to stereotypes (I also hear "don't give up!" a lot too so save it). I've been pushed aside so many times my friends and I have a running gag that divine intervention likes screwing me over. Then again, I keep my age in mind and keep telling myself that sooner or later they're going to have to get over their "bad boy" phase. When that will happen I don't know. I don't even know if I'll want to bother with them when it does happen. Reason why I quoted SUBLIMINAL is because it's that sentiment that pisses. me. the. fuck. off. Everyone's so devoted like they're married and they rush through everything. I feel like Hitch because I'm always giving "advice" which is really common sense wrapped up in a ball of sass. The biggest reason that I probably am still single is that my general attitude is that I don't really need anyone and that's not what the common girl 'round these parts wants to hear. It's whatever though, relationships just LOOK like too much work for me when the people are in this kind of mindset. I've got no choice but to wait a few more years. I waited 20, I can wait another 5 or so.

They're going through an AWFUL lot of work for what amounts to a side project.

While this seems like an interesting board in itself, I have absolutely nothing to contribute here because I haven't been in a relationship yet. I'm also sure I can't be the only one on TW in this boat and I'm also pretty damn sure that there's gotta be one other single person on this forum. Whether you're just like me and haven't gotten that shot yet, don't have time, can't be a committed person, just got out of a relationship, have neurotic parents or fall into this category because of some other reason that I can't think of yet get in here and single it up. Also, to give this topic a purpose post how you feel about relationships in general. I feel single people have more varied opinions about relationships than people in relationships do

That doesn't excuse them and that doesn't make the album any better. Plenty of bands search for their style on their first album and plenty of bands can create an album less schizophrenic than that one. I'm going to take Lycaon for example - they were still searching for their style when ROYAL ORDER was released and that album rocked. lynch. didn't even have a style prior to the release of greedy dead souls and that was a cohesive record. Even Matenrou Opera's first album was cohesive and looking at their later singles tells even a brain dead caterpillar that they're still moving towards finding their "sound". I don't expect the GazettE of all bands to figure out what they want to do 100% back when they released Disorder, but I can reasonably expect them to release an album that's consistently good. Disorder was not. And who knows why they called the album DISORDER? Personally, I just think they're very aware of what they're creating and of what caliber quality it is. How else could DISORDER, STACKED RUBBISH and DIM accurately describe the contents of each of their respective songs? Then again, when you go around naming your songs HESITATION MEANS DEATH, THE TRUE MURDEROUS INTENT and BEFORE I DECAY, I'm inclined to believe they open up an English dictionary and pick the edgiest words they can find and combine them to make "cool sounding titles".

What the hell does that mean? I've heard a lot of shit come out of this fandom but that just takes the cake.

So...is he retiring or what?

I tried this band a few months ago off of a request over last.fm. I didn't like them all that much. I gave their s/t a spin and it sounded like the same song over and over again. I couldn't even tell when one song stopped and the next began that's how similar they were. They get trapped up in trying to sound too edgy and hardcore and they just end up sounding repetitive. For serious.

These guys should drop the synth. I hate it when bands incorporate a bit of synthesizer and then think they have achieved something epic when it's just a mediocre riff with synth over it. They would be much better off focusing on their riffs and getting someone that can spice up the drumming department because it sounds like they have a lot of ideas but they don't move anywhere with any of them. I felt nothing listening to the first link you posted and had no incentive to move on to the next. Otherwise, what these two said. Also, easy-listening =/= bad. That's just a (really bad) stereotype. Besides, this isn't anywhere near "hard-listening".

Now that's some serious shit.

Because you're probably the closest someone like him would ever get to a real Asian girl. I know a lot of Asian girls because I live in an international dorm at college and not ONE of them know about visual kei. At first, I found this rather shocking because a few of them even come straight from Japan! Then, I dug around the internet, did some research and found out vis-kei is pretty underground in Japan. The pop scene is really where it's all at. It may sound completely unrelated, but the guy is way too busy trying to emulate a stereotype and hoping that by liking Japanese things a Japanese girl would like him (when most Japanese women would probably have nothing to do with him). He doesn't understand that beautiful women come in all shapes, sizes and ethnicities and that by demanding himself to have an Asian woman this badly he's dooming himself to not ever getting what he wants - or, if he does he's probably going not going to get the beautiful, photo-shopped airbrushed Asians he's used to seeing on his laptop. You're much better off without him methinks. Personally, I wouldn't mind having a Japanese girlfriend but I wouldn't let the ethnicity of someone get in the way of how I feel about them (and that works both ways. I won't force myself to fall in love with a girl simply because she's Japanese).

Women of TW, I require your assistance. I'm taking a women's studies course next semester at college. My roommate from last year took this class and he summed it up in a nutshell for me: it's 60% discussing actual issues women have, 40% women venting about how much they hate men and how men are the cause of all of their pain and suffering. How do I counter this? Comebacks would be appreciated.

This band always has the tendency for every other album to be utter garbage. Disorder? Did not care for. It sounded disorganized and messy, like they attempted everything and got nowhere with any of it. I thought NIL was good, a step up from Disorder but a little on the boring side with some of their songs (and SILLY GOD DISCO >.>). Then Stacked Rubbish was eponymous and DIM was fantastic. It's about that time for another shit album.

Somehow I feel like this new mini is going to blow. They've been releasing things way too fast. I'll leave my mind open to it being a good mini but personally I think it's going to be two or three good tracks and a bunch of filler. That's just my hunch but I never play my hunches and they always end up being somewhat accurate.

I used to be a fan of this band, but they lost me after a while. They have a few good songs but they're ruined by Jyou's vocals up until the KNIFE single. Their new album is also disappointing. It's like ALSDEAD (album), except less crappy.

Somehow I have a feeling it's bad news, but I'll remain optimistic anyway. Whatever Lycaon releases next, it better not be trash.

That's...shocking. I wonder if that has anything to do with Isshi's vocal problems.

Agreed with whoever said they should slow down. They just recorded two albums worth of material. They need to take a break after this. Still, I'm not complaining

Guys, it's ROUGE xD. We keep confusing it with ROGUE (which is a better title but still). I liked it although as others have stated there was no standout track. Everything was equally as good but nothing totally blew me away. There was no equivalent to LAST SHELL or DETOX or BREATHE TREES. Still, I take this as a more consistent experience as an album then VERSUS was. I can tell apart the tracks and the middle of the album doesn't blend together. some of the tracks also include elements that I don't hear -OZ- use often, such as the beat in the background of Sky High or the piano at the beginning of Strings. I'm still torn as to which one I like more.

Guitar sounds like shit because it sounds like the person that uploaded it recorded it with a microphone and then uploaded it to YouTube. It definitely sounds like Rotate was recorded in mono. I refuse to believe -OZ-'s recording quality has fallen that far. Still though, songs are sounding good.

Not as fast as doze 8D. In all truthfulness though, I no longer take musical differences as an excuse unless I can audibly hear the change in direction the band has taken over a few releases. DISQLOC. had ONE. How could you have musical differences when you damn well released near nothing? Why form a band in the first place?

I'm the guy with the clown wig on 8D.

What the hell is with all these live-limited singles? Sell something -___-

*slap* As some other people here have mentioned explicitly, finding a top 10 list of bands that were around for less than 2 years is difficult because a good chunk of these bands that disbanded under two years aren't very good. I think a top 5 list would be very challenging. Anyway, here's my list. 1) tosinn - I place these guys up here because they are the most solid band I know that disbanded under two years. I don't know why they did but if they didn't we wouldn't have cocklobin so I guess I cannot be too upset. They still were pretty good but a little hard to get into. 2) GULLET - Even though precious kitty thought they were generic I enjoyed them. Once again, if they were still around we wouldn't have 9GBO so I can't be upset that they're gone now. Also pretty good, but I'd put tosinn first anyday. 3) HEARTLESS - I actually tie these guys with GULLET but I personally like GULLET more so they come third. They had two years so they weren't terribly inventive, but they certainly weren't terrible. They did an overdone style well and the vocalist was talented. I wonder where they're all going now. 4) Black:List - They make the list solely because of Kyotaro + TOMOZO. At this point, Kyotaro could do harsh vocals well and he didn't sound like he was coughing up a lung when he was singing (hi pre-illational THE EIGHT) and TOMOZO is just a solid guitarist and was part of SULFURIC ACID, which was also a pretty decent to good band. The first incarnation of the band with RYO as vocalist was just "alright" but neither era did much to differentiate them from every other loud kei band. They never got an identity of their own and that's why I put them at number four. 5) CoЯe The Child - Like UnsraW but better in some respects. Yuuki's growls were better here but his singing wasn't top notch and I personally like the variation CTC brings to their music (when listening to UnsraW I get the feeling of heavy, heavy, heavier, o look obligatory ballad, moar heavy) but...the four bands above are just better than them in my book so they get number five.
