As soon as I get my paycheck I will be sharing traces 2 hi-res. If you want to be tagged when I share like this post so I know to tag you ^.^

@platanity mislead yes, over reacting no. your comment about 枯詩 confounds me, how can one note make that much of a difference to you? If a Hi-Res version appears on Mora i'll be sure to tag you when i share it haha.

@platanity you can go stick flaming q-tips in your ear as well 3. pretty sure all the songs are the same tempo 4. that's the whole point of re-recording, to rearrange and give songs new life. I feel that with these new recordings maybe they'll play them live with an orchestral arrangement. I would love to see them preform these songs with an orchestra at like the Royal Opera House or somewhere similar. 5. i think you mean you don't like the time signature change at 2:10-2:13? it's just one note, he held back one measly note! that's a problem, really!?!? Pledge sounds amazing, it's got a softer fuller sound, I even love how I can hear the pedals on the piano. 白き優鬱 sounds the same though and I hate that they took out the bridge in 紅蓮 at 2:47. Ruki whispering in my ear, sploosh!

In case anyone didn't know JPU is taking preorders for an April 7 release that comes with a poster and translations http://jpurecords.tictail.com/product/the-gazette-traces-vol2-limited-edition

ah now I see. I believe the lyrics were slightly changed right at that line.

@Bear I can tell that's what they are going for. I was asking if it was an older release or newer to find out if it was just an early demo or if that was their intended goal. You can still capture that raw aggression with a more refined sound. Though I don't like them, Nile comes to mind.

You mean at 9:27? that's in the album version mix, this mix just made it louder. Edit: nvm it's in the single too so i have no idea what you're talking about I don't know what it is about the laughter but it hits me in the feels. I can chalk it up to how I can relate to the song but still, I've listened to it multiple times I don't know why it hits me like I'm listening to it for the first time again.

oh I am so grabbing that if it's on Mora @Ozileras10 sound interestingly different? yes. incredible not with that quality haha. it would seem that they intend to give the guitars more of an acoustic tone in some verses of songs

@Jigsaw9 I'm really enjoying it, especially after Hordes of Chaos. I would have like Hordes more if it came out before Violent Revolution. GoV sounds like the perfect mix of Phantom and EoG. The Only thing that disappointed me was that I expected a different guitar tone since Petrozza is using ESP with Fishmans but it sounds just like Phantom. I really enjoyed the new AAL I even got it in Hi-Res. I was expecting more Nylon strings since that's what Tosin said to expect. I didn't enjoy Weightless as much as AAL and Joy of Motion @Bear VR and EoG is what got me into them. around that time all I had was a cd player so I could only borrow the cd from my friend. I took buying Live Kreation helped me appreciate their older releases. Some may hate me for saying this but i wish they would remix their pre-EoG releases. VR is too quite and everything else is kinda flat and lifeless. Kinda like how Mustaine remixed pre-00 deth. As for Endorama the only song I don't care for is Willing Spirit. Pandemonium sounds like left over from CfC and should have been part of the first half of the album like track 3 instead of 11. I really enjoy the japan bonus track, it give you a feel of what to expect from VR Ugh that song perfect example of what I cant stand. Yes, that does mean it's hard for me to enjoy Endless and Pleasure. also, WTF is with that production is that out or coming out? Either way it really shouldn't sound like it was recorded in the 80's

@NBT Kreator Megadeth (friedman era) Children of Bodom Lamb of God Animals as Leaders The Safety Fire those are the bands that are must haves on my DAP

I feel like such an outsider. I'm unable to enjoy most of the bands you guys suggest. It's either too much black metal influence or blast beats, gah I even hate when Arch Enemy comes on and my ears get drilled with blast beats from Root of All Evil.

too pricey, $80 so my gf and I can play together without our hands cramping I dont think so. also, seriously nintendo? charging for their shitty online they're insane. betting they want to charge $60/month as well which is why they haven't said anything about pricing. people really need to stop paying Sony and Microsoft, and now nintendo, just so they can use what they already paid for.

@heresytrash exactly why I want to get it too. I was the only one in the pit with the 15SS hoodie so it should be easy to find me if they have footage from the Wiltern.

To be fair that wasn't a world we got left behind over here in north america. The description on cdjapan says "Also includes their performances and rare backstage scenes." though I'm not taking that to heart.

There is a chance that it has full songs in between backstage/behind the scenes. I have a few dvds like that and last i check Dir en Grey's Age Quod Agis is like that as well.

When it comes to classic rock yes. Everything else not really but I do still enjoy Take Off Your Pants and Jacket or some old school Linkin Park. I can't help but feel around that time Queen of the Damned possibly lead to my current musical tastes and influences. I don't really remember most of the music I listened to around then since I had few cd's and aything else I heard was on the radio. it wasn't until 2003 when i got my first bass and really started listening to music. I would say at most 10% of my music collection is what I used to listen to back then.
