DOOM was pretty bomb, would definitely enjoy another song in that style, however, this song doesn't sound bad in any way. I just feel like Rame needs to change it up a bit. That's maybe the second or third song by them where I have heard the bass stand out and Rame plays the same measure, 4 notes, at least 8 times before the songs builds back up.

I call best Cover art of 2013.... so far

Don't shoot me Introducing the band, STRIKE Vocals: Ruki (The GazettE) Vocals: Juri (DELUHI) Guitar: Leda (UNDIVIDE) Guitar: Meku (GALEYD) Bass: Ni-ya (NIGHTMARE) Drums: Tatsu (Crossfaith)

As I said, I haven't seen the actual tweets, which I can read, so I wasn't sure if it was true or maybe an old pic was going around. Nice to see it's not all bull

There has been speculation that RUKI has been composing new songs and posting info on twitter but I haven't seen any. Apparently, there is also a picture of a soundtrack on Ruki's mac with a song title "(kanji)scars"

I feel like bands are just a front for Leda. Just looking at the NEMESIS solo, the band literally shuts up just for Leda to shred some scales and improvise on the spot. A smart move would be for Leda to go solo like SUGIZO, but I'm waiting for some news of an official band

Yeah I heard they have a new member, a keyboardist. Really excited but I just hope it doesn't change their sound much. I loved their sound for Merry-go-round and Kakusei Sprechicor

Deeper Deeper was badass and this can't top it but this has a more cooler feel to it and that cooldown is just beautiful

Yeah, cause that's what BORN needs to do now, a 3-month consecutive release. How many other bands are doing this? Alice Nine, Daizystripper...anyone else? Nevertheless, it'd be nice if any of these releases come close to their mini's from 2010

I expected covers a little more artistic but I forget that they only do that for the albums. Singles are always band photo. Regular Edition Limited Edition Shou edition Hiroto edition Saga edition Tora edition Nao edition

For the J-MELO New Song Project, they have decided to team up with Alice Nine. Alice Nine is now taking in messages in from fans of something they like, that inspires them, for inspiration for a new song, a fan inspired song for their 9th anniversary. I thought this is pretty cool I already sent them a small verse of a song I wrote xD

Previews of their new songs are on their OHP now, I am definitely digging 雪月花 http://www.sadie-web.com/pc-top.html

Samples are insanely good! The cover art is definitely interesting~ 悪魔の翼 just sounds so epic!! Is midnight fanfare the instrumental of this album, because if so so far it doesn't sound as epic as Just Be Myself from JUSTICE but it does sound good

Ohh god, just a couple more days!!

Amazing single, I do believe this is better than LIGHTNING in my opinion which was a pretty great single! With this single alone, my decision on the DEATHGAZE vs. LYNCH topic has been reassured~! BALLAD, it's not exactly a ballad in itself but it's tempo is quite slow compared to the usual songs. I love the guitar solo how it sort of flows from the main guitar melody and the following lyrics after "それでも心はどうして (Why is my heart still?) are absolutely beautiful. Crystalize packs such a punch and is in line as a favorite song of mine now. That guitar riff with that super strong drum beat is so awesome, 2 seconds in I was already headbanging to it hard that my headphones flew out xD All in all, an absolutely great single from Lynch, can't wait to see what they have in store for us next! P.S, anyone else notice that both songs start of with Hazuki taking a huge breath in? hahahaha

The full song is so amazing!! There's a radio rip out already! After the first chorus that we hear is when the song picks up some awesome sounds to it. Hiroto really shines in this song a lot(has he been listening to some SUGIZO recently or what?) and Shou's voice is amazing. Best part: Jazzy guitar breakdown. Sad that there isn't a guitar solo but this song is more than satisfying.

Whoa...an instrumental? I haven't seen that since Zekkeishoku album

Haha it doesn't make sense that both MUCC and The GazettE were in for best Major album and also Most disappointing release of 2012. Also how MUCC is also in the "bands that changed their sound for the worst" and "Most improved band" but I still love seeing this! Thanks for posting this for us, always look forward to these since I joined back in 2010

Still waiting on Sick here....

Fuck, that is a good song. I absolutely love that tempo, and Shou's voice is absolutely dreamy in the first verses. Probably going to turn out to be my favorite Alice Nine chorus since GEMI. With every album they release, the singles after are always so much better than the last

Title of the second single released in April: SHADOWPLAY Source: Shou's twitter

Its funny cause that is really possible, but they are "consecutive singles" not "consecutive cds." Super excited for this though!! Their twitter avatars have new pictures so i figured they were recording something new. I just hope that each single doesn't just have 1 song or 2 only

I don't know, while Zess's review has its truths to it, I have to say that this album was really solid. While there were songs that sounded like your usual NoGoD stuff that we have been listening to recently, there was some really good stuff. I only really didn't care much for Track 4 and 10, but everything was pretty solid. I gotta say that IV- Philosophia is probably the best from the all the past songs that belong to the series in my opinion. There was more variety to the song than the past ones especially compared to the one on 欠片 which was mostly just a bunch of guitar scales and melodies that sounded similar to each other. Sabbath gave me a Ring-a Ring-o feeling to it with a slight Egyptian theme to it (for some reason). Did they even have a ballad in this album? The only "ballad-like" song on here was the instrumental which wasn't really much of a song, it kind of sounds like they have Shinno and Kyrie an acoustic guitar and let them loose. That's kind of a small gathering of my thoughts right now, if I can come back with an even better response to the album, especially after some stronger analysis into the album, I'll edit this and make a better review. I still have to say that I like this album way more compared to 現実 and 欠片 even though 欠片 has my favorite NoGoD ballad (Nagasumi no Sora) and some awesome songs. (Am I the only one that liked 欠片?)

And people were saying that SIGNAL wasn't heavy anymore. Hopefully, this has some sick breakdown or something~

You can definitely see the correlation to GLORIA and the guitar riff has a micture of Innovational Symphonia and Gloria's sound. Definitely love the Aメロ so much, Sono's voice is just so awesome! The piano cooldown for the Bメロ is so beautifully added and transitions nicely into the chorus~ I can't wait a month for this album! Anybody else this the little girl looks like a young version of Mami, the lead guitarist of girl rock band, SCANDAL?
