Peace Heavy mk II

Another bad one is Gay for Johnny Depp because why couldn't they pick a better looking person???

Zin's English sounds like he had a stroke. S'IM STIIII SAAAALSSSHGNG FOR YOU /skips to guitar solo

Any band names that don't abuse apostrophes, tildes, or math, suck. Also, "Dog in the Parallel World Orchestra" makes me irrationally angry.

I almost jumped through the computer when I saw I missed a missa sale, but then I realized I already had that so it's alllllllll good. That misery demo would have been cool too. Do you have the album art for it?

It worked! Best of 2015 is saved!

Are journals back though? I don't want to rewrite my best-of list. "Best of 2015" is canceled, everyone.

Why are they your faves if you think their albums are bad? Lolol (Unless they're Deluhi, in which their releases larger than 2 songs were disasters) La'Mule's "Berlin" was a fantastic release, as well as their last. Not that their sound really changed a whole lot throughout their career, but that single definitely sticks out as being a fantastic last hurrah in my mind. Not sure if it counts or not, but I consider Madeth Gray'll's history album to be their best release since it mixed all of their best songs together and provided better production and improved arrangements which is widely unheard of for a vkei goodbye collection album. I want to say this would apply to Baiser as well, but making me choose between Hana and Ash is like asking me to choose between my two of my children (the one I like more depends on my mood).

I like the first song and the song around 26 mins. The rest seemed to be GOKIBURI "covers(? Is it a cover if 2/4 members were in the original version that's literally the same?)," but that's probably because they don't have a lot of real material yet.

Haven't gotten a chance to listen to the single yet, but I look forward to doing so soon based on your positive review. Sibil has been consistently interesting, and I appreciate their efforts to be demented without using heaviness as the medium to do so.

#calledIt Wow, he even got Machi and not their 3rd drummer.

He sounds like what'shisface from Shounenki

I feel like this is gearing up to somehow be a revival of at least 1 period from each of his past bands, thought it's interesting that he hasn't gotten Mayu or Hizaki (that we know of).

Their name isn't conducive to an easy pun for this like Tomodachi was.

If Yoshiki owned last.fm they would make huge deals about updates with only slight changes from features they released years ago.

Yesssss this mini is going to be good. I am excited for listenable Nega. Also, what label are they signed to? LDCD-002 sounds like they are on their own or part of some sub-sub-sub-label just for them.

The unicode pages have been a thing for at least 6 years, since they were a thing when I joined last.fm in 2009.

To be fair, the way the charts are like now (like spread-sheet data, not your library) look a hell of a lot better. Plus, there seems to be promise of cool data visualizations, which I am very into. I also really like their alignment of the content in the footer, and the added tabs on an artist page was a smart move on their part instead of having all of the content hidden behind a "read more" link. Also spitefully cackling at them changing their image ratios because no the images with the 30% distortion at the bottom are useless. Fuck those people, tbh, because they don't upload the un-edited versions and it messes up history in sense having only butchered band pictures long after some no-name band is gone. However, none of this is enough of a silver lining for what happened to the rest of the site. 1.) They didn't make the artist boxes on the home page a fixed size. I get that some artists have super long titles (such as Deshabillz' "酔生夢死～無常の風は時を選ばず…朽ちるならそのまま従う事はない…合縁奇縁はセンスの相違。～"), but that's why god invented an ellipses (...). Now it makes the grid that flows on the home page disjointed when clearly they were trying to go for structured. 2.) They didn't really improve features people vocalized wanting improved. A lot of people want the ability to differentiate from different artists without having to resort to full-width characters, and in some cases, half-width unicode characters (in case two bands use the same name in katakana, as shown here). Having minimal database experience, I cannot say what sort of effort it would take to actually do this, but I don't think it's as easy as a lot of people are assuming it is. HOWEVER, people have been asking for it for _years_, so beginning the effort to do this, or plan out at least a draft of some sort of solution, would have been wise. This reminds me of my first Boston apartment. Instead of fixing holes in the wall, or chunks of wood missing from the door, or hell, even the nails sticking out of the doorknob, the landlord just painted over it all with thick paint. Last.fm just did the same thing--instead of fixing a lot of problems, they just painted over them and hoped people would stop pricking their fingers on the nails that were jutting out. 3. / 2-b.)They removed features in an iron curtain fashion. Like journals, for example. Gone. I'm not super upset about this, although I did lose my year-end ratings list and my running CD collection list, but both can be remade someday if I really want to put my mind to it. But, I know a lot of people used to add journals of their experiences somewhat frequently and it would have been nice to have legacy access to them. This bullet wasn't meant to be specifically about the journal issue, but it is a fairly glaring example of features they didn't refactor but rather terminated. Sometimes there is definitely a need for it, as features go unused and just clutter up space for users, but there is a different connotation and reception when aforementioned axed interactions were actually user generated content. 4.) Why are you pushing a live site to production and still calling it a "beta?" Girl. You're not done, you clearly still have bugs because there are little apology messages everywhere, and you only let subscribers use it for a few months before but didn't really change...much? Having used the beta-beta before the production-beta (????) I'm not really sure what the difference is, because all the disabled features of the prior are still disabled in the latter. 5.) They're still not being bought out by Spotify. It's competing with the same market and you sell your data to record labels to give them context on who likes what, so why not just horizontally integrate and have one bigger pool of content that takes into account everyone? I suppose this isn't really Last.fm's fault, but just throwing in my two cents here. 6.) They changed the scale of the charts. I'm trying to look to see what they changed to (I think they changed it to total listens instead of total listeners), but I'm getting a 500 error because it blew up. Womp womp. Thinking about it a little more, this is how the charts should have been anyway, since idgaf if 504 people listen to Versailles' "Zombie" when "Ascendead Master" was actually scrobbled 10,000 times this week. I'm crossing my fingers for an option to toggle between both views. 7.) This is something I just noticed, but they're trying to go for a 'single-page-app' feel but it isn't a single page app at all. Can't tell if it's just because they designed it to imply it will work like a modern web app but didn't know how to actually make one, or they made everything a new page to get more hits for SEO / more burger $$money$$ from ads.

Naaaiilllssss

A lot of artists do that, at least in the west--they release official audio track videos since they know people are going to do it for them anyway, so they might as well profit from the Youtube ads. In the case of this band, they're probably doing it for easier exposure as they're a no-name new band and would like to start building a fanbase without getting stuck in the catch-22 of "No one goes to our shows since they don't know our music" and "No one buys our music because they've never been to our shows." imo, good on them. Having 10 second sample music videos is stupid.

Happy Unbirthday to them :'(

Started listening to these guys recently
