I am still a big fan of Japanese music and I keep checking new releases for the classic bands like Mucc, Dir en Grey, Merry, Matenrou Opera, nogod etc, but new stuff?

I just watched a top 100 video for the "best" vk songs of 2016, which I guess covered most relevant releases, and man everything was just horrible. 

Is this me just getting over VK, or is the quality lower than ever? Anyone else feeling the same?

I understand that this is a returning topic, sorry.
 
I just don't see how an adult can enjoy this stuff: 

This comes from an old hardcore fan, maybe its just growing up?
Well, cheers.

Just listen to this new song from the new mini!

Awesome! How can you not like this band?Any other fans here?

- Recent Nogod sucks, used to be my favorite band.
- Jupiter sucks, they really have no talent to write memorable songs.
- Recent Alice 9 sucks, Diawolf is also very generic and boring.
- Recent Nightmare sucks, what happened to that band?
- Recent SUG & Sid sucks, where did the spark go?
- Gazette hasn't released even one good song the last 6 years.
- Kamijo's solo is better than versailles.
- I miss KuRt

Glay is the best Japanese band of all time.

Yes, unfortunately the whole release ends up being a bit generic.

Wtf, weakness my blood is one of the best vk songs in years...

There is hardly a day recently without a jrock band disbandment.

I know there is always that one "differences in music" etc, but don't you guys think most actually disband because no one buys their music? Is money one of the biggest reasons after all?

First of all I just want to say thank you for shounenki, I especially liked this song:




You can really feel that its a high quality production, and of course it is super catchy, its like this stuff I am after.
I will keep checking all other recommendations, thank you!

I don't know, sometimes i try random releases from new bands in the download section but it all kind of sucks... You know that cheap VK sound...
Has there come any new TRULY good bands the last 3 years? If so, please tell me. Only high quality super catchy stuff.

Are you guys really that excited for the previews?
Imo nothing stands out, all songs sounds like fillers =( 

Mucc has been really delivering the last few years and this album is no exception.
 
1- Suiren
Tatsuro and the gang surely knows how to start off album. Epic song, f*ck, its so good. If the chorus only was only a bit more melodic it would be perfect, but it is EPIC 9/10
  2- D・f・D (Dreamer from Darkness)
Best song on the album IMO, the chorus is so unbelievably catchy, incredible song and a new favorite mucc song 10/10
  3- B.L.U.E -Tell me KAFKA-
Has some really nice parts but the chorus, the main melody, doesn't feel 100%. Same as Suiren if it just was a little better here it would be more memorable 7/10
  4- HATEЯ
The song that impressed on me the least this time. It is a high quality production but feels like a filler 6/10
  5- Rainbow
Maybe it is only me but I love these mellow songs from Mucc. Great song all way and the main melody is so... melodic, great effort! 8.5/10
  6- Rendez-Vous
Sorry felt like a filler to me 5/10
  7- TONIGHT
.... and of course they decided to end it with epicness, super catchy song that will be awesome live. AWESOME 9/10

Once again Mucc blows me away and this release proves they are one of the best Japanese quality bands out there today.

Final verdict 9/10

What are your thoughts on Mucc's latest effort?
