Rosà

Just cannot do the album? It's boring, but quite curious about stuff.

I See! Money, money, money! XD

Woow! The next one? Awesome piece of news!

I like this single very much and their new style... but the only one that wasn't exactly what i expected is Tsumi To Kisei. Kind of... i dunno what to say about it... but as a preview of Dum Spiro Spero it's brilliant. 9/10 (because of TTK)

So now my turn for a short review:

Masquerade - just great, I have no idea, why they shared the best song from the album so early. But it's specific climate, which I really do like, also 10/10

Philia - one of the better songs from their last two singles. Chorus so easy to remember, melodic, quite nice, catchy tune. One of typical Versailles, but the voice is somehow irritating... 8/10

Thanatos - I was really curious about this song, because it's first Masashi song for Versailles. I must admit, I like it, but for me it's strange, too much in MDM style... bass lines are pretty nice, but refrain a little... kinda... soft? What the hell? 8/10

Flowery - I don't remember this song, I haven't noticed, when it finished... To be honest i've heard this motives used here somewhere, but i dunno, where exactly... No rating so far. I'll give it some more listens.

Remember Forever - why it reminds me "Prayer" at the beginning...? Nice ballad, but a little boring... 6/10

Destiny -The Lovers- - I began to like it, but this orchestral start is not necessary... What for? Incompatible with the rest of the song... 7/10

Dry Ice Scream!! [Remove Silence] - Hizaki just got crazy, what is this? The worst track on this album. Is he ran out of ideas or what? 3/10

Threshold - When Teru said that he's working on something darker and harder, I didn't even expect it would be an SE only... Nice one, I'll give it 10/10, but I'd be happier, if Libido were here...

Judicial Noir - something changed on an album version? I don't know... I don't like this song too... too fast, bizarre, chorus too melodic for this kind of song.. I've expected something heavier, or even darker before single... 5/10

Love Will Be Born Again - melodic, silent... but the lyrics... In English it's just banal, but still beautiful in some way... I don't care about Engrish. It should be understood. 7/10

Vampire - Too much MDM at the beginning... I don't know yet, what to say. No raiting so far

Faith & Decision - OMG, perfect song, but without this 7-minute-long instrumental beginning 8/10

The Theme Of Holy Grail - just nice SE. No raiting, it should be at the beginning, not at the end.

Overall raiting: 7.2/10. Nice one, not so epic, as I thought. They've changed. But if it's better or worse way, we will see in the future. Not disappointed, but they could've do better, because they can!

To be honest this song is amazing! Just can't wait for the whole album. Kinda rebirth ov Versailles!

To be honest i'm excited about new single. The previos one was brilliant and hope this also will be. Despite of being softer than in Shinrabansho it's nice. Always nice. Cool title btw. Hope it has metaphorical meaning xD

nice title... at last something new. *Positive attitude towards album mode on* just can't wait for previews. Hope they're at least as good as Uroboros....

As I remember it's fake... None of the parts from preview in this instrumental song...

Excited with their work. Despite of knowing 3 of all 5 songs I must admit, it's solid release. I'm glad that they haven't disbanded yet. And still waiting for their first LP. I'll do short t-b-t review right now:

Be Sacrificed - A song from Explosion Showcase, which had a bad quality. Now it's still weird form me, even if instrumentals and vocals are clear. Probably the worst song of the whole album. 6/10

Shattered Sky - Just fell in love with the bass beginning... Nice heavy riffs, it's just good work. The only downside is is pre-chorus moment. Great Shaura's voice. Nothing to add. 9/10

Sexual Desire - For the first time it was just silly, when it came as live-distributed single. But the studio version is great. Clear, good re-mastering. It's the proof that they can do nice songs. 10/10

Revelations - Just beautiful. And a piano opening.. great job. The heaviest one, guitars which I love and nice melody. 10/10

Proudia - It's the song i don't like so much, because it's soft... but what can I say. Nice vocals, melody, but a little boring after 2 minutes... 9/10

Overal: Good job. 8.8/10

best 2011 album so far.

Och, really? I would say it was quite disappointing. I expected something more sophisticated from Kaya. After listening i can say it's his worst work. Till now I'm giving something like 6,5/10, but I'll give some more listens, maybe I'll change my mind. Shame, that after 5 years of waiting we can hear nothing special... or at least suprising in a good way.

Edit: and i'm sayin' only about new tracks (apart from Sugar Rose, what I haven't heard yet)

It was released couple of weeks ago, but i haven't seen this topic yet... so, what do you think about last XodiacK's single? I think it's better than I've expected and one-year-brake was... necessary? But, t-b-t:

1. Fall Down Deprival - an SE, I don't like them usually, but this one is nice and for XodiacK it's something new. SE made on Shinrabansho were quite pathetic. What I can say is that there's no need to make this kind of songs, but... it depends on music taste. No note, cos it's instrumental.

2. Deprival And Naturality - mayhaps the best song on this single, good mixture of deep growling and damn-fuckin-good Eros voice. This melody can be fast remembered for a long time. For me guitars are too soft, but I cannot expect the effect of two 7-strings guitar made on one 6-string one... 10/10

3. Silence Mind - to be honest I do not understand the idea of this song, but Eros proofed he CAN SING! Although I cannot remember this song, it's nice to hear... I'm not sure if it was planned as a ballad or god-knows-what-else, but definitely worth hearing. 9/10

4. Meteoroid - the next one growled song. 100% XodiacK in XodiacK. It's not the same kind like in Kuroi Taiyou (correct me if i wrote it wrong), but it's a proof that XodiacK won't stop with heavier riffs. And I love bass line! Definitely 10/10.

As a summary I can say one thing: It's definitely worth hearing and I'm glad that XodiacK is back, despite of having 4 members and one 6-string guitar. They're more powerful than they ever were... Keepin fingers crossed that they'll write for a really long time and they'll be on a stage at least for next couple of years.

Great piece ov news. If this album'd be a piece of shit like last two singles... Hope not.

Really touched by this sad piece of news...

Before I judge I'll wait for the whole song. Till this moment it's quite nice.

Havin mixed feeling. On the one hand it's good, on the other a little weird. I'm still waitin' for single version, then I'll write about my second impression. The first one after hearing this song was 'WTF?'

New songs in april? Endlich!

Give them next try. Hope these songs are amazing.

Exista and MAJOR? O.O

Didn't expect this... but congrats.

Nice, always must be funny, why not? xD

And I'm impressed by this one with grey hair (I do not remember his name yet), he's so cute and so shy (or it's only impression)

Sounds awesome, but we'll see when it'll be out. Samples are usually too tricky to judge a song.

did ya hear that? sounds... mysterios a little. but great.

I didn't see this topic yet, so I decided to write something about this single. Firstly, we've waited from June or July to December to hear... one song only. It's quite disappointing fact, but after listening it many times it was worth of waiting. "Madame Rosa" is nice, catchy song, Kaya's voice as always perfect. What else... definitely nice job, nice lyrics of course and interesting inspiration to do main melody (In the hall of mountain king, or whatever it's called - i just don't remember xD), even if it wasn't purposeful. Instrumental track is always nice, but what can I say about remix is that it's one of the worst remixes that he (or someone for him) made ever.

Overall, if it's a sample of upcoming album I'm excited. Hope it'll be at least as good as this song. 9/10.

Wut? Kiwamu's organizing concerts? I don't know if I understood it correctly...

I think they won't be under impression. Because why? If everything will be a crap, especially the same kind of it, so there'll be no point in doing music at all I think.

Hell no, they're signed to Starwave Records D:

Is that really so bad?

Oh my goodness... Kinda shock, because they're so different... than previous time.

Hope they change also musically. And why only 4 members this time? Incomes to small, or what?

We'll see. I like new look very much. Lookin' forward to their music *keeps fingers crossed*

About first one I feel some kinda confused. "Wine" is quite nice, i like it so far, so cool. But "Shower"... it reminds me of typical light j-rock sounds that many bands could make, so hope that a sample only tricks so much.
