My babiesss

Team Brinty was great, I thought Vanessa should have won, she was more entertaining than Nina. When I saw that an entire team had to lip-sync, I was hoping more than one queen would be eliminated so we'd get to Snatch Game quicker. The gospel bit in Team Maria was breathtakingly terrible. Scarlet Envy's existence was less obnoxious than last week. I would have sent home Rah'jah (or however you spell it) instead of Honey.
 
Wow, untucked is fucking awful why am I watching this, it's just Yvie vs Silky ""drama"" and it's desperate filler
 
Also, Vanjie x Brooke? I mean, Brooke? Really? ...... That's not a pairing that I ship.
 
I'm looking forward to next week's episode, to see Joel McHale on the judges panel and the possibility of Ariel going home (could just be a promo fake-out, though). I hope Shuga Cain steps his game up, but I think I only say that because he's the cute one; whenever he appears in the challenges I don't even notice.

yass come through taste. also nadia = perf.

 
 

wow you dropped some serious names there. like, i love all of that, except i haven't watched utena yet. special thanks for kids on the slope mention - it's totally underrated.

The camera on my phone is trash, but my elder showcased some of his art over the weekend, and this was one of my favorite pieces! Dope!!!
 

I can’t think of words to describe this, but I’m going to do my best to personify/objectify the way I’m feeling.
 
Do any of you get that overwhelming feeling of loneliness, sadness, emptiness and other negative emotions and feelings, and all it feels like in your head and body is that you’re about to explode because of the build up of these feelings, it’s a feeling akin to what I guess a shaken carbonated drink feels like. 
 
I don't want to talk to anyone close to me about it, because that would make me a burden, and everyone has their own stuff to deal with. I just needed to vent this, and maybe see if anyone else feels this way.

peak anxiety is you avoiding to open an important email for days in fear of what's inside thinking you're gonna freak out from the amount of work you're given only to realize almost a week later that's it's barely anything and you can be done with it all in less than an hour. if only my mind didn't jump straight to the worst possible outcome every single time smh

Lion tribe
 

been a while since there was a face to the name 

Yo Im Bree and I got a mullet

hi☆
 

cover mini album
 

the song itself sounds alright but good god that PV is so goddamn ugly its giving √eight's 'we literally filmed this in our garage' PVs a run for their money, I get being low budget and all that but this is like middle school garage band-tier

serving that thing in the corner of ur bed that appears when u develop sleep paralysis while listening to despairs ray x

Yeeeees Loki slayyyy
 
Oh, wait

honestly I hope the music lives up to the weirdness of it all so far
omg not them exposing tenten's summer vacay spots like thaT

I'd give this a solid 8/10
 
終焉 - Great ominous intro
XXXX - Not much has changed, the chaos doesn't sound as cool as intended 
眩暈 - The gud stuff
『　』- Why did they have to muffle the vocals in to a total blur? The original is like 100x better. Album remixes should be up, not downgrades.
死枷 - It's like "Hey we're just starting out in Sapporo and want to experiment everything in one song."Also some DISABLED COMPLEXES parts or i might be delusional, but whatever.
薄紅ノ葬 - Sure is pretty! Sentimental song for smoking at my porch
淫虐の理 - Really do love this song, Miria showcasing his best work. Atleast with headphones it sounds a bit more clean than the last single's version
ディスレクシア - Drowning goths-syndrome again with the vocals mixing, otherwise perfect.
悲哀囀ル調ベ - Wonderful, wondering if they're releasing a video for this one
Secret Moon - No words needed
緋い縷 - A little repetitive with the chorus on the end side but probably the albums true gem highlight
絶望郷 - Very boring, they have songs like these already, so nothing new to the table. A big miss
輪廻 - I LIVE for the creaking door sound at the end
 
 

At La'veil Mizeria's first live of their 47-prefecture tour on 3/14, Gt.邪鬼 (Jaki) has announced that he will depart from the band after their tour final (date currently unknown).
 
 

Bring on the week-long 'indefinite hiatus' and reunion tour!

That's the mystery here because I also think some of the old stuff holds up. I recognise it's the same band and all their stuff is quite similar, but something happened somewhere along the line. Even the breakdown that I'd usually be all for does nothing for me when it's sandwiched between the same chorus they have every time, or something I don't know. 
 
 
Maybe stuff like this is still more structured with less gimmicks, just early Arlequin/Morrigan esque thirst for blood with a tinge of oshare. 

I think a lot of people here, including myself lol, don't really understand how all this stuff works in Japan in the vk scene especially also in relation of the general public in Japan. Afaik, vk is already perceived as the last refuge for people totally unfit for society, an whether some bandoman is guilty of this and that over there is not really something to cause much attention, probably because the perception of the vk is pretty much true and all these dudes are just really shitty when it comes to treating both women and each other, I mean just look up stories of how they treated the vocalist from Screw back in the day and imagine if something like this came out involving some lamestream band in the west, like that could pretty much be the end of everyone involved; and this is only the beginning, like I think we've already heard tons of stories of really dodgy stuff which while shocking to people in the west accustomed to a totally different kind of culture and conduct, especially when it comes to regarding an elder statesman of the scene like ki$aki. This is an underground music culture of rejects that had a flash in the pan moment 20 years ago that brought it to the surface, which while an important moment it for sure didn't change the general makeup and reality of the scene, which is a large prostitution racket ran by yakuza and horny guys wanting to play shitty rock 'n roll to a fanbase consisting of people with as many issues an the bandguys themselves.
 
And to add to this I think everyone knows the Japanese think we are joke and that some gaijins are rustled is literally no concern of theirs, unless you're willing to fuck or buy them some chrome hearts of course.

Color me all of the shades of not surprised.

I warned you guys in my TODAY review that this is where they were going to go, and I warned you in the split-single review that just because they can be heavy doesn't mean that they are going to stay heavy. I hate to write off a loss but I've sat through too many renditions of bands losing their way trying to redefine themselves with a "lighter, more accessible sound". Bands seem to be confusing accessibility with  being interesting; plenty of musicians are able to write interesting and compelling folk, pop, and rock music. This change seems too heavy handed for me. They threw out everything they've cultivated about their style and replaced it with the most unconvincing outfits and music.

The saddest part is that they tried an experiment by gifting MUCC a song of theirs that fits MUCC like a glove, and MUCC knocked it out of the park, and I still didn't like it. That's indicating to me less that I can't "get over myself", and more that the music is not connecting with me anymore.

Oh well, not the first time I've pretended like a band disbanded.

New The Back Horn single sounds good

this sounds like their recent album flopped bigly but they haven't yet abandoned hope for scoring a pony canyon contract for another 5 LPs

Promising things will be different. 
 

 
No thanks bye
