Damn, Reiki taking heavy inspiration from that amazing Rshitei look, I'm stanning. They all look great tho. March isn't too far away. I'm expecting an album after this, don't let me down guys!

Please rest and take care of yourself, we need you!

Cool, I'll definitely buy it once it's online! Love these guys

Welcome to MH! Cool stuff you've posted here, keep it up!

I love your style, you've got a lot of talent ❤️

Confounding on every level tbh

Nice, that's pretty soon. They look good here too, minus that dreadful silver extension

I'm ready af, if they give us something even half as good as the standouts on CHEDOARA then I will be more than satisfied.

I'm really into this promo shoot, exploitative torture porn horror movie yes gawd- give me more and please don't have shitty music.

Congrats to them, hope they're ready for the never ending workload that comes with it!

Finally finished catching up with AOT. I haven't read the manga, but heard that the director cut/changed quite a bit for the anime due to pacing issues from this arc and I gotta say that it was felt at times. There were moments that seemed like they were happening out of order and episodes that were loaded with static talking heads for far too long. Animation seems to have really taken a nosedive in quality most of the time too, the exception being some of the action scenes later on. Somehow, despite all of these issues, I think this was a better season than the last and I had a good time with it. There are some really effective character moments and it feels like we're finally getting to the payoff that's been building up for literally five years. I'm excited about AOT again, hope they can keep it up when the next part drops in April!

Been listening to Mirror again a lot lately, spurred by Avocado farming revelations... teen me is shook

Lots of great albums here, a couple that don't hold up for me anymore(but at the time were great) and a couple I never got around to/have never heard of before. I wanted to add Irokui's Ginsei Flair no Zaregoto as an overlooked recommendation while going through this thread, I was sure it was released early 2008, but checking the release date it was late 2007(11/28). It made a huge impression on me though and I don't remember anyone talking about it then(certainly not now). Still gets play from me when I'm in the mood for it. Unfortunately, not relevant to the current topic so I'll stop haha. I had almost completely forgotten about LMC having some bops when they started, hopefully it's not just nostalgia goggles because I'm getting the urge to spend some time with them this weekend. Shion was the album that got me into MUCC. Interestingly, Libra was one of the few songs that managed to transcend the perception of vk being nothing but obnoxious teen music to my family at the time. I got away with blasting it on long car trips, no complaints, compliments even haha. The ReS and DEG picks on here still hold up the same as when I first heard them, but that's for totally personal reasons and I can see how they might not bring up the same feefees in someone else. 夢幻教 is still NoGod's best album imo, nothing they did after was anywhere near as interesting or endearing. I stopped paying attention to them quite awhile ago tho, so maybe(hopefully) they've stepped it up since. Sugar... Loki may not have been a traditional vk hot guy, but damn, that voice was special. While devils in bedside isn't my favorite 9gbo release, it is a great introduction to the band. I feel like MUSIC was the beginning of Gilgamesh's transition to cringecore, they hadn't gone full on sakura-con GIRUGAMESH yet(that was next year) but all of the signs were here. Still some good stuff on this album, but I remember feeling let down at the time and it isn't easy to go back to. Same deal with Noiz Star by SuG, but I'm sure plenty of people feel they started out 100% cringe anyway. Sadie, Exist Trace and Deathgaze all occupy the same questionable space in my mind. I like some of their stuff, but it's so few and far between and most of their songs sound too similar to my ears. This is about where Miyavi lost me. I saw him live when he was touring for this album and it was really fun, the material actually worked live. There's something about the recordings offered that strip away the potential energy this album could have had. Thanks to everyone who put this list together! Lots of fun to go through and reflect on

All pretty good points above, but I think a key ingredient is missing- the Obscure video and proliferation of the internet. That video was being passed around almost as a shock video for years in the scene/emo/mypsace days.

I've been avoiding listening to new Satsuki(don't want to taint good res) but damn, you can really hear how badly he needs funds. Production on his voice is poorly done, so much so that it strips any positives from his voice and he ends up sounding worse than a lot of newbie vocalists. This really is embarrassing.

Sounds like they'll be pursuing that electronicore influence they played with on their last album for a bit. It makes sense I guess, but I hope they throw some surprises in.

Song is ok, I feel like they're just sticking to what works for them rn, which is fine by me. Love the video though, really fun and well directed/edited.

It sounds about exactly how I thought it would haha, not bad though.

This season has been way more entertaining to watch than the mess that was 3. Casting feels better and I'm rooting for more girls than usual. I'm also totally here for some of the girls willingly going for the villain edit, it was getting tiresome seeing everyone play it so safe. I may not ever want to hang out with Gia irl, but she makes good tv. I can't call who'll win this time yet, seems like Villaintina and Tuck are doing well for themselves, but Manila and Latrice are also really strong and I'm having fun watching/rooting for them. Monet and Monique are also amazing, but the ott branding and lack of polish/progress they've made make it clear that it was too soon for a return. I wanted Jush to do well, at least better than the half-assed self-sabotaging "comedy" she delivered. Farrah was never that strong/memorable to me, plus a ho be irritating sometimes. Obviously, I'm disappointed in the third elimination, but I would have sent her packing first chance I had too if I had to work with her. I'm guessing the next boot will be a toss up between Monet and Monique.

Yes!!! I missed them last time, no way I'm missing them again! Hurry up and get here April 30th!

Really nice work, simple and evocative. Nice color choices too. I'd totally hire you to make a card if I ever needed one.

I'm living for that stank face the last one is serving in the group pic
