Ro plz

I agree that Sukekiyo and Dir both fell off. But to pinpoint the source of both declines on Kyo is giving that nigga WAYYYYYYYYYYYY too much credit, especially since Kaoru still writes a majority of Dir’s stuff with some needed inclusion from everyone else. And it’s no secret now that Kyo’s mindset and main focus is solely on Sukekiyo, which is composed of an entirely different set of musicians. I severely doubt he has that much influence on both bands. Them sounding similar is a reach. I normally refrain from saying this about ppls opinions but even with my gripes with both bands, I gotta straight up say that’s just not true. Kyo sounding more or less the same on both? Yes. Dir en grey as a unit is running on fumes. The evidence lies In everything post DSS. Sukekiyo....Lately is just really trying to be this super abstract band based off of the history of the individual members, and in return is making music that makes my head hurt. Post VITIUM Sukekiyo is damn near unlistenable.

I dont believe it was shade at all. That's exactly what it was. Shinya didn't start nailing those DSS/ Unraveling songs until Budokan. And notice now specifically how the drums in Different Sense sound different in the first half when they play it live. But to be honest the entire band was a mess during that time. Even with their refined sound, some of those songs still sound awkward when played.

I'm happy for the actress cuz im sure this is a monumental step in her career. At the same time, there's plenty of capable minds who can draft up something original instead of this constant need for race/gender/ sexual orientation swapping for well established characters in live action. These types of things used to excite me. Now its just clear that its mainly just for brownie points/money/ so ive grown numb. Also i find it really funny how there's been hella outrage about Bailey's casting and now that there's word of Harry Styles in talks to play the love interest (i forget that nigga's name), there's been hella ppl that are happy about it. Last time i checked, he also don't look remotely similar to the OG character. Oh well.

Most of my favorite Lynch. songs are from their major era. The same goes for the GazettE. Its a bit of a process at first however.

Locally, you can still most likely find a copy of either Uroboros, Uroboros with Proof, and DUM SPIRO SPERO at Newbury Comix

I figured since this counts as creative id post it here... But here's my youtube channel! Its comic book centered and I put out new content every week! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp8hvpCX0NNxLdEKQng3yEA

Not surprised at all.

If I had to take a guess, I don't think they ever really recovered after their two previous members suddenly up and left. What was a pretty dope metal band (IMHO) became watered down once Endigo joined. To me, BatAAr stopped being BatAAr once that happened so in my head, they were already disbanded. I actually liked them A LOT up till that point which is sad. Patrik has some pretty strong ties to the J-rock scene and as much as I may dislike him, he is a pretty dope song writer. If there's anyone in that band that'll bounce back from this, its him.

Its almost certain that its a TiW leftover. Didn't an interview around TiW's release indicate they had some tracks that didnt make the cut anyways?

I’m excited for this new single. And yeah there’s no way that bonus DVD won’t have a few TiW tracks on it. No comment for the Mode of. Whatever they smokin, I want some cuz it seems to be strong as hell.

This was needed because I really wasn't fuckin with a lot of the tracks from the last two albums. This is giving me a lot of Juusankai Wa Gekkou vibes. I like.

Skeptical. I'm assuming this dude is gonna be primarily responsible for writing the music now right? I HOPE there's another Guitarist joining the group. Good luck to em though.

These previews aren't bad for the most part, even though i was expecting something on the heavier side. Stoked.

Nah, when i heard DEUX, I swore that id be upset at the GazettE if they tried remaking this track again. Its literally everything I love about this band fused into one perfect song.

The Transition from DIVISION to NINTH is by far one of the best examples of growth. Their earlier material is great but i can only listen to em on occasion. DOGMA Era will always be the best GazettE era. Deux>>>>>>> These Niggas's entire discography. If anyone has an issue or disagrees, I'm willing to throw hands and probably lose.

Thats actually really fucking fair tbh The upside is that they can keep pumping quality singles with B-sides...which basically is a Mini, if we're keepin it a stack. Stoked for this new release.

Got damn it. My bad y’all 😂

I honestly feel like they're doing this to get out a live version of 0 as quick as possible, which I'm happy for. But if im not mistaken, didn't their last DVD contain damn near their entire discography?

This shit bout to SLAP.

I like what I'm hearing so far.

Call me crazy but I'm more excited to see the NINTH songs more than any "treats" they might throw our way. I'd rather be surprised. Like I wasn't expecting Cockroach in NY and that was a fucking blast.

I fucks with this.

I think at this point we should give the GazettE the Dir en grey treatment by not expecting release announcements at a specific times. I've been following their tweets closely as of late and absolutely nothing (that i noticed) indicates they've been in the studio/recording new music.
