Goddamn, Shuu. Forever the underrated member of Giru. I'm excited to hear his sound.

Why does Sakura look like he's about to put out a serious Type O Negative tribute album?

I'll put up a more detailed review at a later date, but WOW. This is legions better than what Plastic Tree has been offering us since Bucchi left the band. This is not a joke, this is a fact. The vast majority of these songs are pretty old, having been played at Neji lives (THOSE BOOTLEGS OF NEKOYUME RULE.) Anyway, solid 8/10. I'll probably have more to add, as i listen to the album further.

DUDE OTO-ONI.

It sounds like "What's Up People" by Maximum the Hormone, and "Bouzenjishitsu" by MUCC. Why have these comparisons not been made? Still, sold me on the deep down tuning, but...it suffers from JAGS a bit. (JAGS --- just another gazette single/song)

i wonder how many of his tsunagiri funded this.

Dude, Ryo. YOU ARE KILLING IT.

This RULES. 100% behind Ryo's solo project.

YEEEEEEAH, MY BOY! Kazutoshi Yokohama too?! Fffffff

A9 is pretty fab. Interest for the new EP is hype level MASSIVE. Haven't been this excited for new VK in ages!

tbh, I liked their Clowns era the most. After that, take it or leave it. That track name tho. Lol. Sounds like an intentionally unironic tumblr name.

I already figured out how I'm not going to be disappointed I didn't see Dir en grey. holyfuckthisismyfirstenvyshow.

Jeez. That was real bad. At least we have the classics. Sorely missed, they will be.

I... don't even.

Hopefully they don't feel like they're being strangled under the pressure.

So much yes.

trollest of the trolls. surely you jest. no really, that track is boss.

Get. Hype.

dir en obvious choice. They've been my go-to since '04/'05, and i don't see that changing much. great band, great sounds, interesting songs. They're admittedly a pretty terrible band, but I like terrible music. See avatar.

Has Touru's voice gotten any better since Maebashi?

2001. FFX had chars that looked like Malice Mizer members, and i had a friend at the time that liked to point it out. 2003, when I first heard of Dir en grey. And X Japan.

Cock Ring really is one hell of a song indeed. Though, I appreciated it more on the Tabula Rasa DVD, rather than the studio recording/imagining.

The Inferno rules. Behind a vacant image wins the album for me. Pretty atmospheric, lots of interesting little passages, epochal.

"lol, i'm gonna deleeet you frome my buddy list, and block youuuu." I feel like the fanbase acts like this, a lot.

Man, I think no one cares. This sucks. We'll probably see limited footage on some Tour DVD sometime in the next couple months...but nothing too much, lest they decide to make a fanclub only DVD of the "extra" performance. Those generally garner some pretty strange setlists, those "extra"/"special" lives.
