BY THE WAY HAVE EVER YOU LISTENED TO THIS ONE?

They are amazing and I am glad they are back <3

I am big fan of SIAM SHADE, especially HIDEKI and DAITA, and of course I heard Understand so many times because I own HIDEKI's first two albums and e.p. <3 But I couldn't find his latest two albums anywhere, on CD Japan, iTunes and other shops ;___; I mean 栄喜Ⅲ〜NO FATE〜 and 栄喜Ⅳ ;__;

Yeah, same here =\

I don't think III and IV were ever shared, the only way to by is through his webshop, I believe, such a shame

DETROX was one of the greatest really so special.

Don't know how they were that much unknown

Idk but as far as the ratio of how much I should like it theoretically while not liking it at all, Deviloof is a clear winner.

they're in my top 5 so you better believe they aree

how is it HOWL and their best is clearly レイテンシー・スノウ?

waaaa

no wayyyy

Just kidding, that's a pretty nice one too. But since we have Smith and Kitsune fighting for the the 2nd and 3rd spot , I'll concede the 4th spot to you

lmao

I don't even remember ZORO's music that much, レイテンシー・スノウ is literally the only one I can play in my head. this is making me want to revisit their stuff lol

Omg you're right! All those early 00s oshare-kei memories came flooding back 😨

I'm not huge on the vocals, but the instrumentals and how happy they seem doing it make up for it. I love goofy bonding mv like that.

These guys are fucking amazing. Been big into them since they pretty much started because I'm a big closet Ikuo fan.

Maybe because their material is hard to come across. 

I love Jun-ji.

Yeah, the good bands disband and the trash stays alive o.o 

Haha, I unabashedly love that song.

Wha, because you sullied a nearly perfect musical piece with your shitty equipment? D:<

i didn't make it past beyond these walls.

first non-s.e. song i was like, MAN THESE RIFFS ARE DOPE, but the kick and snare sound so sad

and then beyond these walls came on, and the whole mix sounded like twice as good and I was all bummed out.

You know they're on low budget when they couldn't afford an album master of the single tracks. its literally the same version from the single, and it feels sooo out of place sonically with the other tracks. :X beyond these walls has way more low end and the drums sound a lot better overall

Yeah I only thought the songs from the old singles were the only halfway listenable songs on there, but everything else was boring as fuck and so poorly executed it's a shame because I thought thorns, beyond these walls, and Nadir/Zenith, and The mini album Dizainerve and especially Inhale were very promising. But like 2/10. I don't even want to listen to it again, I could just listen to the singles and the mini because the new songs are utter shit.

Really? I love the first one so i should try this. Have been to a couple of their concerts recently and they were pretty amazing live!

their music finally feels 'organic' and it's only been getting better since that other guy left, this new album is no exception

so much better than their 1st one? I really liked their 1st album,damn need to listen soon to their 2nd one

If that's the song I think it is, I like it a lot!

gotta get my thoughts together and then maybe i can review

i can make some if that's a request

@Zeusby all means, please do!

It's just their beginning, they'll progress. 

Plus, to me, I hear a lot of Kuroyuri mixed in with the DEZERT sound they have, but that may just be Nu Metal being Nu Metal. IDK anymore

I've just listened the single again to see If I missed something the first time and yeah, it's definitely not for me. They should fire that vocalist. Dude is just BAD. He tries to emulate VK tropes and fail spectacularly. Those songs don't even demands any range. Really, you can't listen to the third song and say this dude knows what he is doing. it has an interesting intro but that's it, doesn't evolve into anything. His screamings are passable, but there are 200 VK bad vocalists that can do the same. What he's trying to do on the first verse and bridge of the second song? what's that chorus? I'm finding even the budget DEZERT comparison kinda offensive, I would be hard pressed to find one instrumental moment I could say something good of.

@TokageYeah, gotta agree with you that Saikou no Shokutaku was their last GREAT release, but even so, there's something to enjoy on what came after. In any case, my bechmark for budget DEZERT is BUK BUK. Those dudes don't deserve to be placed on the same category as mamireta...

@AimiGen7 @CELESTIAL CIELI dunno if it's because they are just starting... Have you guys heard that BUK BUK release that was shared here? That shit is GOLDEN, and the dudes are as young/beginners as mamireta. All three songs are killer, the compositions are above VK average, you can find creative drumming and guitar lines, and the vocalist is absolutely passable (yeah they are mimicking DEZERT and the vocalist is trying his hardest to sound like Chiaki, but if you want to do this kind of "homage", that's the best you can hope for).

But I'm actually curious on what you guys found so interesting in this mamireta release, maybe I've missed something, I don't know.

I actually thought the new release was ehh. I felt like it definitely had potential and I definitely enjoy it (well, minus the main track), but something was missing from there. I was hoping for more stuff like お邪魔します. But I'm not completely giving up on them yet, I'll just have to see what they have in store for the next release. 

Though I will admit, Batsu isn't the most pleasing vocalist to listen to. It's not his style that turns me off, because I love that style, that crazy vocal style, it's mostly his harsh vocals, which definitely aren't pulled off correctly, and his tone of voice, that turn me off for him. 

I think though if he works on his tone, and worked on his harsh vocals, I'd enjoy his vocals more. 

I'm curious what songs made you change your mind on them? 🤔

Obrigada amigo peixinho 😁

Só tem peixes aqui. É nóis.

Yea i have to agree with you. The only song that i find somewhat memorable is this

Other then that its a great band. Some releases they have like a jazzy feel to them which is rarely done. For some reason i don't have another song that i can be like oh i wanna play this right now but if it comes on ill be like great. I do miss plunklock tho when haro was in that band i loved and remembered some songs here and there.

Exactly this. I tend to find their music pleasing when I'm listening but don't remember much after it's over. I had high hopes when they formed but I don't even really check for them anymore. 

Not a fan can't help this time lol

I swear I've heard this before and now its BUGGING me

I think I may have jumped the gun this time. The mentioned section is similar in tempo and rhythm to the first and second verse of yuya's chant on Develop One's Faculties' "it is what it is", but it's way too loose to call it an inspiration. Unless the feeling comes from some other song I'm not remembering now, lol...

mukuro from livert

((..........i miss him.))

Mhmm I think it's always Yuki from Lustknot but other than that yeah like what's-his-name in DIMLIM, Akane, Mukuro, and @Mamoreminds me I'm probably gonna think of someone later I should have said!

oh wait, By:ARLANT had a kickass pig-squealing vocalist but they were short-lived (and actually, i don't even know if they were vk? lol)
