yeah, at first I thought it couldn't possibly be as bad as these reviews suggested and even the first two songs weren't bad. but it went significantly downhill from there.

Yeah, it's getting downright annoying. Sure is. Preview sounded good, I loved SEVEN, its what got me into them so if its along those lines then I will be pleased! everything reminds everyone of dir en grey because that's basically all they listen to. so glad that's not MY frame of reference for everything in vk/jrock. anyway, yay new album, bout time.

awesome~

omigosh, I thought they were gone for good. great news!

MTE since it said they'd been together for a few years or something

well shit....

- Arcadia is still boring. They should have collab'd with 中田ヤスタカ instead. - NAME is decent...but there's something I don't like about Tatsu's singing. Can't think of a word prob bc lack of coffee...uh - New FUZZ, on the other hand, is fucking awesome. It kinda makes the whole single, tbh. Like a brand new song. lovelovelove

also coool

About 99% of the time I care absolutely nothing about lyrics. But, in a slightly different way than most perhaps. I would rather not understand them so that I can focus on the music. This is primarily why I listen to way more music in languages other than English. I like the vocal instrument, so I don't want to only listen to instrumental music, but I find that hearing words I fully understand distracts me from the overall appreciation of a song: vocals + music. And yes, while I do have a working knowledge of Japanese and French, I have to really be paying attention to understand lyrics in a song and it's easy to tune it out. Much harder with English, which I'm fluent in. This is why I can't ever comprehend when people say they can't listen to music in x-language because they need to understand what they're singing about. It legit baffles me, lol.

Liar Game: Final Stage ....decent, but really just an extension of the drama

lol, all of them? certainly most of them bahahah so much this

i think it is too. those blog posts are way too similar to be a freaky coincidence. in case anyone hasn't seen them: http://aramatheydidnt.livejournal.com/3036101.html

i hope this is true, lol

Both, but I think I lean towards talent/technicality most of the time. I usually look for artists to have both though. It's why I'm rarely attracted to faddish stuff because I feel it lacks pretty much everything except accessibility. Something has to catch my ear, whether it's instrumental talent or compositional talent.

hopefully it's a new release, or announcement for one, they haven't released in what seems like aaaages

Perfect. People just like to complain tbh.

ugh. i just know they're going to disband soon. ;;

Velvet Eden – 花売り娘

disbandment? hiatus? that's what these announcements always are these days

windows! i use XP on my two systems. i've heard good things about 7, but i like my XP. xp mac-elitists are hilarious, btw.

ＡＣＩＤ – SEED miss this band

you know, i've loved most all their most recent stuff. basically after that hiatus they took and everything, but this was very staid and boring. nothing stood out to me. i won't say it's poppy, but it definitely had a phoned-in quality to me. =/

Flawed Element – Worms On Concrete 2.0

I love Japanese reggae and dancehall, lol. Lecca, Manji-Line and Chehon are coming to mind rn
