    Has anyone given a good listen yet?

    I like the album a lot so far. I think their S/T is catchier, but I think there are stronger songs on this one. Yui and Moa sound like they've improved alot too!

    Favorite tracks for me so far:

    -Karate

    -From Dusk Til Dawn

    -Sis. Anger

    -Tales of The Destiny

    -The One

     

    I prefer their self-titled album for the reason you stated, it's just catchier. The new album seems to have went in a more serious direction, more complex songs but overall less fun I'd say. I do like the album but wish it were more like the first. Everything is IMO.

    Actually it's not as easy as "click on some options". Yes you can tuirn off some of it by doing the aforementioned process but not all of it, to completely remove all the privacy stuff including the data mining you have to delve deep into the cmd prompt and mess with and edit certain files, which to the uninnitiated  is probably imposible or not recommended. Now I've heard recently that there are now programs that people have made that can do all this "leghwork" for you, but I've never used one and thus can't say how effective they are. Regardless the point isn't that you can just diable these options if you dont want to be spied on but the fact that mircrosoft has started mining our data, something they prieviously did not do in other iterations of there OS (or at least not on the scale they are now) and the cherry on top is that we have to jump thgrough hoops to disable all of it completely if we dont want our privacy impeded.

     

    Also just a tidbit of info on the upgrading question. I would recommend backing up all the stuff you dont want to lose and just do a fresh install of windows 10 (format the drive). From my experience on my laptop when I upgraded without doing a clean install, I was having a lot of performance issues and later oin had even more "weird" things happening like random crashing of programs. Since doing a fresh install and formating my HDD it hass been running a lot more smoothly and I haven't witnessed any strange happenings.

     

    Well if you want to disable absolutely everything (like removing the pre-installed apps and such) you'll need more knowledge than the average windows user has but I doubt those users even care, it's always the more expert ones that are going to worry about privacy issues. I mean look at people sharing their lifes on every social network, do you think they even consider these things? Not to mention that just being connected to the internet implies a certain degree of tracking which you can hardly escape from. Google is doing it, facebook is doing, and so are many others, it was only a matter of time before microsoft joined the club. While I do not approve of their new ways at least I can disable most of these settings from the OS itself and rest by editing the registry. Granted it may not be an easy process to do so but if you value your privacy you're gonna learn how to do it. Personally I hate those who bitch about this situation but then facebook and twitter know the exact time when he's using the toilet.... Unfortunately the future is bleak, if you're a windows user sooner or later you're gonna have to upgrade and what's in store is already known, you either deal with it, stay on 7 forever or completely change OS. I highly doubt they are going to give up on spying on users, it's how they make money.

    What windows seven and eight dont do is "data mine" (which windows 10 does) that's big issue that peoiple have witrh the whole privacy debacle.

     

    and also I would not recommend upgrading to windows 10 if your primary use for your computer is gaming, I've heard quite a few horror strories of people having tremendous issues with crashing and other stuff.

     

     

    I only hope that all my data will be saved if I switch to windows 10.

    Maybe I should ask a near ICT friend for advice.

     

    You can disable everything and it won't track a single thing, why do people keep saying it like you don't have a choice? If you are too lazy to click on some options then you deserve to be tracked by microsoft (I'm not talking about you, just in general). Now if we believe in conspiracy theories there might still be some hidden code that will observe your habits. Also, while I do not use my PC exclusively for gaming I do play a fair amount of games, mostly recent ones and free to play like LoL and CS, and nothing has ever crashed. The more you read around the more negative things you'll find so no point in doing it, it's better to just try it yourself, it will take you 30 minutes to install it and eventually downgrade to 7 if you don't like it. You won't lose any files or programs during the upgrade and if you chose to go back to 7 everything will be exactly as it was prior to the upgrade.

    I upgraded and after that I did a fresh install. IMO besides directx12 and a few minor things (like cortana, if that's your thing, or changes in the UI) there's nothing that really stands out to make it much different from W7. You can pretty much disable everything that is related to your privacy if you feel like windows is collecting too much data on what you are doing so no problem there. Some say it runs better on older PCs than W7, so if that's your case it might be worth a try since you can downgrade back to 7 if you don't like it. Also there are no bugs or such worth mentioning, works just fine, of course it might not be perfect but 7 isn't either so given a few more months it should become a lot more stable. Personally I like it, but I just upgraded for the sake of doing so.

    That awkward moment when you only know one band from the whole list, which is Kuroyume. Listened to the 2 songs you linked but it's not something I'd listen to again, at least not to the Coaltar of the Deepers's song, I kinda found the Syndrome ballad to be pretty enjoyable.

    1. Studio "Syrup Comfiture/市松椿 - liberate me (Ichimatsu Tsubaki/Studio "Syrup Comfiture" - liberate me)
    2. じん ft. メイリア from GARNiDELiA - daze (Jin ft. MARiA from GARNiDELiA - daze)
    3. ナノ - SABLE (Nano - Sable)
    4. 水樹奈々 - 禁断のレジスタンス (Nana Mizuki - Kindan no Resistance)
    5. CLUTCHO - Billy Billy
    6. school food punishment - feedback
    7. ヒトリエ - インパーフェクション (Hitorie - Imperfection)
    8. 澤野弘之 - No differences (Sawano Hiroyuki - No differences)
    9. Security Politti - TRINITY×SEVENTH+HEAVEN
    10. The Mirraz - 世界一キレイなもの (The Mirraz - Sekai Ichi Kireina Mono)

    Shame only a touhou arrange came up. The others are mostly anime songs with a few exceptions. school food punishment's song was a pleasant surprise since I didn't listen to this band in a long time. My current favourite is Sekai Ichi Kiraina Mono, relaxing yet catchy.

    The only one I don't know is LAREINE. A list full of visual. The ones I like are X JAPAN, Phantasmagoria, Nega and UnsraW.

    1. ELLEGARDEN - Marry Me
    2. kirina - 真紅の呂旗－The ONE－ (kirina - Shinku no Ryohata-The ONE-)
    3. UNLIMITS - 夢物語 (UNLIMITS - Yume Monogatari)
    4. 水樹奈々 - Naked Soldier (Nana Mizuki - Naked Soldier)
    5. FLiP - カミングアウト (FLiP - Coming Out)
    6. ViViD - Winding Road
    7. ORANGE CARAMEL - 아빙아빙 (Abing Abing)
    8. UPLIFT SPICE - オメガリズム (UPLIFT SPICE - Omega Rhythm)
    9. Perfume - Handy Man
    10. YUI - feel my soul

    As with my other lists visual-kei bands are pretty rare. A meh list this time, though UPLIFT SPICE saved it xD.

    @relentless I didn't mean to come off as rude and I wasn't replying to anyone in particular. I do agree with you, it's always a good thing to exchange opinions and knowledge, though, as you noted, discussing music genres usually ends badly. This is a topic for reviewing girugamesh's lastest release, a band that has been known to mix more than one genre in their music and attempting to place it in a certain category is futile.

    Does it really matter into what genre it fits best? Will it change your opinion if you can categorize it? It comes down to your taste, if you like it good, if you don't then move on. These arguments are pointless, modern music can't really be put into well-defined genres like before anymore, especially when it comes to rock/metal and all the endless sub-genres, obviouslly there are clear boundries between major genres and exceptions, but almost all music tends to borrow elements that are considered to be distinctive of a particular genre. Not to mention music evolves over time so the sound of what was once called metalcore can't be the same today, music isn't that stagnant, otherwise we wouldn't have so much diversity in music. Everything is IMO.

    I like Merry and OOR from your list though I can't say I enjoy OOR slower songs that much. Never been a fan of kagerou or kuroyume. Checked Million Dead and Birds in Row since they were the only ones I didn't knew but unfortunately didn't like them xD.

    1. REDMAN - Challenge the GAME
    2. Base Ball Bear - kodoku no synthesizer
    3. supercell - 復讐 (Fukushuu)
    4. Lycaon - Alejandro
    5. 陰陽座 - 相剋 (Onmyo-za - Soukoku)
    6. Aqua Timez - 一瞬の塵 (Isshun no Chiri)
    7. 澤野弘之 - The Reluctant Heroes (Sawano Hiroyuki - The Reluctant Heroes)
    8. Galneryus - Hunting For Your Dream
    9. CROW'SCLAW - Requiem
    10. HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR - TOXIC

    Love BBB, could listen to their songs endlessly. HaMC were my favourite japanese band and one of the first I ever listened to so it was a pleasant surprise to listen again to them. IMO a decent list, a touhou related song, supercell, onmyo-za and galneryus, I mean how can you not like galneryus? xD
