I swear to god, if this new single is some one word capitalized title track with a live song and an instrumental, I am going to burn all the crap I have of them.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the vocals.... now. My only grime is with how low production the video is. It seems that Kamijo left with all the money. Kamijo was the wife of the divorce of Versailles. I think ZIN is all right, a little resemblance to Kamijo with a lighter voice and less dramatic but I still need some time to get used to it

What is with all these names for their releases? What was the last one, Triskelion?

All right, well, after watching MELT live, I can say that MELT is so much better than their OMEGA live. OMEGA was a little dull except for SUICIDE CIRCUS performance but this one had so many good ones, the intro to Dripping Insanity, the transition to Kago no Sanagi, it was all so much better than OMEGA. I haven't gotten a chill during one of their lives since TOKYO DOME. I'm also glad that Ruki was finally creative with his voice. They got down the atmospheres for sure this time. Kago no Sanagi definitely had a very good atmosphere about it and they performed the acoustic section very nicely.

I dont know....

Idk, I think rosenstrauss will be just fine but I'm excited for the B-sides. I want something good and a ballad like Solitude from Danzai no Gunner

Yuh has to realize that not every guitar solo has to have or be entirely tapping. The whole chorus of Prey Shadow he's tapping and the whole solo for Recipe and GLOSTER IMAGE was tapping

Aaaand our first generic post. Ain't a Vkei MH topic without generic in it

About damn time!!

^Listen to your heart ...And your wallet as well.

I don't know, I personally loved this album. Then again, it doesn't matter what his past discography was like, how un-majestic his vocals are, and how some songs have the lyrical genius of Lil' Wayne (I'm looking at you No One Knows My Name). Nevertheless, this album did what I wanted it to do: Give me some new Miyavi material and have those awesome, pumping guitar riffs that he is famous for (even though in some songs it seems like it's the same 3 riffs). Is this album perfect or amazing? Not really, but it's way better than his previous album, the single songs are better this time around are better than his previous album, and I really love the production this time around. The thing I most thoroughly enjoyed about this album was how all the songs were able to pump me up. With all the songs, I found myself dancing to the melody, randomly grabbing my guitar and playing along, or just jumping up and dancing and playing air guitar (Don't Judge Me). I actually just had a party with some friends, had this album playing (None of my friends know Japanese music), and this was loved and danced to at the party so it's not bad.

Hmm, interesting...

Hell yeah, I'm so in love with these guys and Taizo is doing all that work. Sure, the bassist has some sick bass lines that astound me, the vocalist has a gorgeous voice and all, but Taizo is the only reason I came back to these guys. It's all about those nostalgic ZORO tones, riffs, and solos

I've never held the band looks to dignify the quality and sound of the CD too much. Maybe it gives an inclination as to whether it will be dark or light but never if it will be good or bad so I am still going to wait for the previews

Yeah, it's hard to come back here and update your THE BAD or THE WTF unless its epic failure is engraved into your mind. I know that there are some releases that I thought, this is horrible compared to past stuff or WTF... But I usually delete them so I have nothing to remind me of the release haha

Sometimes, the time depends on the lyrics translation, but also the creation of a different booklet and most likely the process of having to create even more copies to distribute to stores around the world in major cities and such.. I'm guessing here though haha Anyways, I'm just hoping that I get to listen to the new album soon. It came out yesterday so I have my fingers crossed for it to show up soon!

No, it's out in Japan but the WORLDWIDE release will be in October.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=_IIRc9DBM_w I don't know how it happened but I think I've been affected by Tomo's voice. I don't think I can dislike a song by them as long as Tomo sings. He has a strong voice but he can change it so elegantly. I don't know if it's a falsetto but he gets that voice high

You know, I'm glad that the guitarist and bassist are sticking together, but for me, the vocalist and drummer made Administrator be awesome. The final song on their last album, Muryoku na tenohira, was just absolutely beautiful and I have never heard a double bass be used successfully in a ballad like that. Anyways, I want to hear these new singles!

The ending to the trailer was just golden, but for the life of me I can't recall the name of that song, I don't think I've heard it and I thought I had heard all of Alice Nine's songs

Damn, Zess always strikes gold Would you mind elaborating as to what you mean by "badly performed" and "questionably produced?" Sounds like every other person in the review section before the rules changed when most would just write "album sucks, disband please; shit 0/10"

Kenzo was always out of place in this band. He was huge contrast between himself and the rest of the members. The difference between them was noticeable, but, even more so drastically once Ayabie became AYABIE

cool!

I don't know, I love Samurai Sessions and Ahead of the Light. This sounds good but I would Samurai Sessions vol.2

^Agreed!! These two singles so far sound to be so damn amazing!!! They look so fierce here and that song gives me Halloween chills!
