CAT5

I dunno guize, to me it's still the same band that just decided to go in the indie rock dezert direction but just math'd up the song structure and riffs and jammed as much material in the four odd minutes as possible. I think in this case all this talk about whether it feels like its all there or that it's a mess or whether it has soul or not is just nonsense. I understand if someone thinks all the time signature shit and transitions are in bad taste, but at least in vk that's pretty novel. The chorus still 100% carries in the entire thing and that could've been in their old songs just as well as in this one. 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this brand of indie/math (done to this extent) unprecedented in the VK scene? The sound itself may not be inherently unique, but contextually, you gotta give these boys their props.
 
 
 
This is just the style. I can understand how it might sound chaotic and senseless to some ppl tho...and it may be that I'm biased because my ears are just acclimated to music like this.
 
But to me, it sounds like a glitchy/IDM-like approach to composing, and you hear this type of thing done in ling tosite/Tk's solo stuff and haisuinonasa, amongst many others. The sokoninaru comparison is especially apt because they've been REALLY hammering, and in my opinion - overdoing-, this style lately.
 
This type of composing can get REALLY tedious if overused, but I think DIMLIM did a fine job in this song of keeping things cohesive, catchy, and interesting, and not just being flashy for the sake of it. It's not an easy balance to strike, and trust me, in comparison to a lot of the stuff out there that takes a similar approach, DIMLIM are doing this style justice. Their VK leanings just make it even more special imo.
 
That said, we'll see how well this plays out on the album...

Yes and a pig could tell me it's a zebra. That wouldn't make it so.

At least that'd make Sokoninaru interesting.

This is actually a fantastic j-indie song LOL, lamenting the loss of the BROOTALITY but this is a really well written song and DIMLIM still shit on everyone's head PERIODT!!!!!

I think some people are missing the meaning of "conceptual" in the " MISC is a conceptual album" sentence.
 
I mean, of course it's different from CHE DO A RA, shouldn't it be?
 
And this notable confusion of directions, mixed bunch of ideas being throwed around would actually fit the concept of MISC., as in short of Miscellaneous, right?
 
I'm pretty excited for this, is shaping to be a pretty interesting experience

THIS IS FUCKING GREAT
 
Samples sound good too!

@CAT5 I am genuinely curious how close I was to actually describing those songs correctly lmfao . I tried to not get too detailed because I didn't want to be like "Wow this death metal bullshit is bad" and it's actually "I'll"

the guitaristé

same audience that leaves non-vk indie j-bands feeling disappointed and going nowhere x
 
as a hater, it's a very easy decision!
rijin was evolving on their past sound (and it already overdid some things i.e. guitar wank);
this (and the majority of album samples) sounds like a product off a typical recycle spree VK bands fall into by their 2nd major album, except there's no remote chance  of major labels hunting for these guys anytime soon.
 
I'll have to say I never liked vanitas that much aside for the teapot squeal, which they don't do anymore anyway, so w/e.

Appreciating the song more with each listen and man, Sho is pretty much the best vocalist the scene has produced in the last decade, he is improving so fast

They dezertified themselves but at the same time got more wanky, and it works. I don’t know if I will care about an album of that but they definitely did not embarrass themselves. A bit worried about the other songs but this one is just as good as anything they did before imo

Not really sure how y'all could enjoy tracks like Rijin and Vanitas but somehow hate this. Sure they're emphasising the mathy elements more while downplaying the heavier side somewhat, but it's hardly a complete 180 from their last couple of releases or anything.
 
Anyway I'm basically a math slut so I'll let this song have its way with me. All hail visual math kei etcetc.

One ok Rock.... Lol ... Miles away from this. It's excellent
