Okay, I am seriously waiting on more information for Periphery! I need new stuff! I'm spamming their current stuff like crazy~ Where did you hear about Animals as Leaders having a new album? So for me so far is: Crossfaith Periphery- Juggernaut Alsdead- Separator Nocturnal Bloodlust- Grimoire Eat You Alive- Apocalypsis The GazettE- Beautiful Deformity Animals as Leaders Chiodos Rin Toshite Shigure Lynch

I'm sorry, is this what we should expect from Alice Nine now? This single trumped every past single for me and it only had 2 new songs. Daybreak is just an upbeat joy to my ears that had me smiling the whole way and the instrumental is lovely as well. Heavenly Tale live is awesome, want to hear the rest of the songs on the single. 秘密 can take the cake as the jazziest, rock song of theirs for me. That acoustic intro is majestic, Shou's voice has improved greatly. The bass is MMM and the guitars are insanely cool. The only downfall is that there are only 2 new songs but at least I don't have to wait long for the next 2 months. Himitsu is the new Alice NIne favorite for me. I honestly cannot wait to hear what Shadowplay will be like and its B-side

I just got into them when they released their first single. I'm deeply in love with Last Relapse single. They are absolutely, insanely awesome! As my friend said, this could be ranking for the best heavy album of the year

Yeah, it's almost like everything was random and the only constant things was the chorus. They should change it up, it's still good enough but if they keep on they will eventually get boring

Damn, that's a good setlist in my opinion. I can count more than 1/4 of that setlist as being songs that i thoroughly enjoy and love

Led Zeppelin! Hell yeah~! 1. NEGA- DELUGE 2. The GazettE- ATTITUDE 3. SCREW- Cursed Hurricane 4. The GazettE- LEECH 5. Versailles- PRINCESS 6. Alice Nine- 夢幻 -electric eden- 7. MUSE- Butterflies & Hurricanes 8. Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas- Crossover 9. Para;noir- A meaningless existence 10. Daizystripper- Twilight Damn, it was hard choosing a favorite. There's MUSE, my favorite Alice Nine ballad, favorite paranoir song, best instrumental by Daizystripper, and Versailles...But in the end, Daizystripper won that battle.

^Agreed! Revolution was real good but it didn't match up too much to their past 3 singles. Has their production changed since then? Every song sounds a lot different then back on their first mini and singles. Now the songs sound hollow is a way to me (sound wise), they used to sound more full back with the 3 singles.

Prayers are going out to Ruki for some reason after he tweeted "fear of losing voice"

Yeah, sorry, back on topic. And exactly Sai!

According to Shou, they are currently editing some footage from their Countdown live to be put in the April single.

Actually, it does make sense, you just didn't understand me. What I was saying is that all the negativity on here, as mentioned above in comments prior to mine, is to be expected. What I find interesting is that most say they've lost interest, but we all know that they are going to still listen to it and this is proven with TOXIC and DIVISION. When those came out, countless people would say the usual "generic" terms for the release and how they won't even be bothered to try it, yet you can probably expect 3/4 people that say that to write a review for it in the "Review Section." So those comments are a bit unwarranted and are as generic as what most consider The GazettE to be now. Basically, I was simply iterating what GazeRockSnob was saying but clearly the word "waste" offended you or something. Of course, I didn't mean they were bashing the band itself. When I used the term band, I was being a bit too general. Naturally, I meant their releases. Honestly, right now for me the albums in terms of preference go TOXIC>DIVISION. Hopefully, it'll turn out to be TOXIC>DIVISION>>>>BEAUTIFUL DEFORMITY

Name your favorite Alice Nine single and why it stands out to you above the rest of the singles. For me: It's 閃光 (Senkou) Why? This single comes with 4 songs, unlike most of their other singles. Each one of these songs are just perfect. Senkou is that song that is the epitome of the fast rock songs of Alice Nine to me. If someone wanted to hear an amazing rock song from Alice Nine, I would show them this. While NEMESIS(Niji no Yuki) is deemed by me as a very awesome song, no song is as badass as Le Grand Bleu. This song kicks other songs from Alice Nine in the ass for it's speed, intense atmosphere, and super amazing instrumentation. Solar Eclipse, the name is awesome, the lyrics are beautiful, the instrumentation (especially the guitar tapping in the background of the chorus), it's all done beautifully. 涙のある場所(Namida no Aru Basho) takes place as the 3rd best ballad by Alice Nine(The first being 夢幻-electric eden- and the second being 胡蝶蘭(Kochou Ran) It was just a single that had no songs below the level of awesome

Yeah, most people bash on the band and it's new release but everyone still bothers to listen to it and most "waste" their time writing a review on the very thing they would call a "waste" on this forum

Allow me to try and balance some positive feedback into this black abyss of negativity towards The GazettE. I am so stoked to hear this! I knew something new was coming out from all the excitement from RUKI and AOI's twitter about new songs made. I can't even fathom what FADELESS will sound like and my mind is already running through possible melodies that I have made up in my mind since REMEMBER THE URGE xD The album name isn't anything badass but it kind of sounds like something from STACKED RUBBISH. The GazettE are assholes though, they set out release dates so far away Good 5 months for the single and 7 months for the album

Periphery: I kept their stuff but I took a break from them before realizing ho dumb I was. Mathcore, djent(even though they stopped doing it too much), and Nobuo Uematsu influenced music. Insane guitar solos, 7-string wonders, awesome lyrics. It's hard not to be obsessed MUSE: I really don't need to say why. If you don't know why someone could be obsessed with them, check out their The 2nd Law album and you won't be confused anymore UNDIVIDE: It's Leda. He's my God, my idol.

A very good release, best album they have put out so far (This is their second album LOL) This album was coming in with expectations I had from their past 3 singles. The title tracks didn't attract me as much like Starry Heaven and NOAH, but INNOCENCE was really badass. The only thing exciting me was the thought of getting more songs like the final track on the Starry Heaven single or SHADOWS from INNOCENCE. The preview for Tears got me a little down cause it sounded like they were doing some poppy ballad type song, but, it wasn't entirely that and I ended up loving it. The one thing I have always loved about Royz, besides the crazy melodies that are almost unexpected in most songs, is Subaru's voice. It has a sort of soothing lullaby to it and the fact that he can growl makes him and the band a lot more interesting. Kind of like with SuG and Howling Magic, once you heard Takeru growl, you kind of felt like: "Holy shit, maybe this might start getting good" Royz was already good but they just got better. This album brought forth some really amazing songs, and unlike their first album, I don't find myself skipping songs to find the good ones and listen to the rest later. アルカロイド was the first step towards more INNOCENCE type songs,　糜楼 was their next heavy sided song, claiming the spot as my Favorite song of this album, followed up by FlashBack which to me resembled SHADOWS a lot. We got some great ballads such as アテナ with such a calming slow acoustic melody in the melody, and then you get an uplifting, cheesy if I might add, song right after which gains the spot as my least favorite song. Don't be mislead though, it's still good, it's just not my cup of tea. Why the hell didn't I have 恋花火 on my iPod beforehand? I thought I had their whole disco, amazing song. Very nice fast tempo that gets me energized. The final song Aerial Cord gave me some hope with a name that awesome. I was hoping for a fast song but it was more in the mid-tempo style of songs. That's not a problem here. Sorry if my reviews aren't as astounding as Zess but my hope is that some people read my reviews on these amazing bands and decide to give them a try.

Blah blah blah is so freaking awesome! Sick song and I love the rhythm

No complaints here, The 5 was freaking amazing!!

I agree!! I mean, this band has amazing things all around, instruments, vocals, you name it. But there more amazing features involves the instruments so I am so glad they have those. Daybreak's should be amazing to listening to with instrumental version This was taken from Shou and Saga's twitter about SHADOWPLAY Shou: Mastering for SHADOWPLAY is done. It's really cool. It's exactly as I imagined it to be. Saga: Unlike DAYBREAK, the filming for this MV [sHADOWPLAY] was really calm. The song itself isn't calm though haha

Well done, 摩天楼オペラ, absolutely spectacular! The -overture- sort of brings you in to what you know is coming next already. It's a great SE and it transitions nicely into GLORIA. Plastic Lover is a very nice song, absolutely in the style that I was expecting more of the songs to sound like in this album~ 悪魔の翼、just by the previews alone, had already made it as the most anticipated song for me on this album. The intro just pumped me up, the chorus is rather abruptly put in but the majestic-ness to it just overcame that. There's a beautiful calm spot between the song that was just elegantly added. The fact that 2 single songs came after this was kind of boring but Freesia and Camel are two good songs so it wasn't all too bad. Merry Drinker is a very powerful song, love the energy that goes along with it, gets me headbanging along to it for some reason. Both the guitar solo after the Chorus and the outro solo was just pure Anzi love~ SWORD as i expected is a very strong sound. Yuu really likes to get that bass drum going the whole time huh? He does the same thing all throughout the final song, 喝采と激情のグロリア. MY GOD, that BASS in SWORD just made my ears jizz!!! Great song, definitely my #2 on this album. Somethingのブルー, by the length alone, was looking to be the album's ballad this time around. It's got a very nice orchestral background and the chorus is really something beautiful. The small guitar melody after the 1st chorus somewhat reminded me of a GALNERYUS melody(calm down, not saying they are copying them or anything). The fact that the songs fades into a piano melody was just the best ending for this song! Midnight fanfare just transitions beautifully from the previous song. Clearly, this the album's instrumental. Blasts forth into the instruments rather abruptly though. It would have been nice for some buildup but the instruments are too good to give a damn. Just be Myself(JUSTICE) was very badass but there was a lot of repetition in it with some small changes in melody every now and then. This song has a structure similar to a regular song. The song plays a chorus, Aメロ, chorus, guitar -keyboard solo. Bメロ, and then the outro. 喝采と激情のグロリア sounded just amazing from the previews, I knew I was in for a treat. Guitar is absolutely the best thing about this song, and the piano sections in the Bメロ is just exceptional with the perfect pace to it. This was the best song to finish the album with, can't think of any other that would have fit this spot. All of the new songs were just absolutely amazing and they picked the best songs from their singles to add to this album (Although Psychic Paradise would have been better instead of CAMEL). Thank you, 摩天楼オペラ!

I've actually cut back on listening to Japanese music too much. I've been mostly obsessed since November with MUSE and reliving adventures of Periphery's music, constantly waiting for news on their new album!

Everyone goes on and on about the look but no one bothers to share it so allow me the honors Does MiA have elf ears? Koichi without a ponytail?! Meto looked better in Die Kusse...

The mixture of that opening with the electronic pitch and the high guitar notes is amazing. Definitely the first D.I.D preview that has got me so hooked on one of their releases. Best part of the video? The little samurai kick the blonde guitarist did in the first 5 seconds of the clip

Oh, my God. I am absolutely biased towards The GazettE but even I have to agree that this is the best statement made towards The GazettE ever posted on here or anywhere out on the internet.

Crap....history is repeating
