They choosed the weakest song from this mini album to promote it.
My favorites are Disclosure and ERROR BRAIN, but honestly any of all their new song can't beat イノセンス ;_;

I find that disputable, to be honest. Femme Fatale had a very serious problem with mixing. in Freya single everything sounds so, so terrible. There's a little upgrade in some songs on Gladsheim like Afterglow or L'oiseau Bleu, but it's still pretty bad. Voyage as miles ahead in that aspect. One may argue that band was not much of his style, but if you can go from ZIZ to Marty Friedman seamlessly, don't think the problem would be style

He is certainly one of the better ones. Plus, he makes it all look so effortless and always hamming it up, even when playing more demanding stuff. Saw him one night in two bands one after another (SPEECIES and ZIZ), it was worth being there just for him alone.  

He's up there. Not THE best though. 

Certainly the most fun. Saw him play with Ziz and dude was wild behind the kit. (Also the girls in the crowd yelling his name definitely pronounce all the 'e's. "Cha-jiiiiii!" haha)

lol, this time is from vistlip's LAYOUT
 
the chorus really packs a punch
 
 

I never know what these songs you talk about are and I lowkey wanna check them out most of the time lmao

If you guys are interested I can send you some xTRiPx terekos.

*trades left arm* We get 3 more fans and we'll have Exodia!
What I'd do for actual recordings of little snow, JUMP, shuffle, etc.
 
I'm stoked that Yoshito has been active on twitter again tho :D. He rehearsed for Ena/Naoto's birthday live and they've been hanging out a lot, so I'm hoping he returns to the scene someday. 

Apparently Natsu was in poor physical condition and pulled one of those disappearing acts. https://www.vkdb.jp/NEWS_4831#gsc.tab=0. He hasn't tweeted on his acc. since Oct 2013 https://twitter.com/neverlandnatu.
 
Simply put, we don't know.

Well, I extend that to a lot of JDA & ABC ballads. This one comes off as pretty standard, but the end is what gets ya.

This one. Probably because I used to listen to it all the time when I was ages 12-14

I struggled picking 5 songs...
 
 

I miss pre-vocal injuries Hayato

I imagined there would be lots of songs from 2006~2008, but seeing azure as top 1 from two different people is definitely surprising!
 
I suck at ranking things, so in no particular order:
 
Kamisori, Reincarnation. Flow, Chronos, Lost, azure
 
 

1. azure
2. Noah
3. 「カミソリ…」
4. Tales
5. 永遠に夢を重ねて

Here is mine. 2006-2007 was their best period.
1.azure (from azure)
2.versus (from azure)
3.愛愁メランコリア (from 愛愁メランコリア)
4.華唄 (from Visions)
5.追憶の軌跡 (from BULLET)

@Mamo I'm pretty sure I have their mini here somewhere, but I couldn't find it somehow
 
here's their single tho, I'll try to find it again later in this crazy mess

lol, seeing Dreqi in this list brings back memories. back in 2006 I was OBSESSED with their Pride single. I do have their disco (7 songs, tbh), and I believe I have chelsea stuff here somewhere too. gimme a shout if you can't find their stuff

what do you already know? what defines old school to you?
 
In any case, DEAD END, Kneuklid Romance, Shazna, Raphael, ROUAGE, La'cryma Christi, Kuroyume, Laputa...

wow, I wasn't expecting it to be so one sided. I think @Zeus really has a point. Dib is phenomenal, but it's a niche product of its time, and kinda demands a certain mindset to be fully enjoyed, if you guys know what I mean. DDC on the other hand is just as technical and impressive, but easier to listen. besides, there's the dark, which is the best track on both releases and I'm not ashamed of saying it.

i think devils in bedside didn't age as well as dark design catalog but i'm still compelled to go with it

Devils in bedside. 

both are iconic pieces of wrist-cutting extravaganZA sis  

I love both but easily DIB
