Ahhh I was literally 10 seconds too slow in posting this. Like the song, seems to be a ballad obviously but it sounds pretty good.

I'll edit this later with a full review of the single but for now, I'll review the title track. STIGMA- This song was pretty different from what we've heard in the start. Then we have Natsuki singing in his usual screams but with some pretty interesting instruments. The chorus comes in a bit unexpectedly but it was good nonetheless and then we get this bass slapping going on and some strange background going on. I really like this song because it sounds like Natsuki is trying new things out with his voice other than just screams and singing like in the chorus. Then the chorus that we hear in the pv preview comes in and it ends with a guitar melody that I am really beginning to fall in love with and I love it!! I think it's the one OZ song that I recall that ends with a fade out as lovely as that one.

Real small preview at the end of this video ^ no pun intended with the word Real there cY6lyfwltJc

SuG Special Album comment. From the previews they showed, HOWLING MAGIC seems like a good song and I actually like the chorus of Pastel Horror Yum Yum Show, it sounds pretty cool and no lame crap like Thrill Ride Pirates had. I'm actually slightly excited for this album, especially after Fukanzen Beauty Fool Days Go to 0:24 for the short PV preview of Howling Magic Go to 4:27 for the short PV preview of Pastel Horrow Yum Yum Show kLDTIXbwatk

Hopefully someone can post the singles by Wednesday

They most definitely do!

It's been over a year. PLEDGE- It's not the same it was then but I can still listen for the orchestra, Ruki's singing, the guitar solo and the acoustic guitars. It's still a pretty good song though THE TRUE MURDEROUS INTENT- Hated it before, now I love it. I get a rush out of playing it on guitar and the riffs are fun as hell to play and they sound cool. VOICELESS FEAR- By far my favorite slow b-side. It has a sort of curveball still to it as I think and I love it. Hell, it was an inspiration of mine and I used it to write a song. I absolutely love this song and I can listen to it anytime.

So hang on, is the "3rd track on a single is a live recording" something they have always done? They are so freaking good that even the live feels like an actual studio recording sometimes and the only time I'm remembered is when I hear fans cheering and such. Anyways, I'm hoping for some good stuff from them once more. Hopefully something a bit less soft than Fuyu no Bench

It did the same for me. Break the Silence is now my absolute favorite Sadie song along with some from COLD BLOOD. I'm excited for this mini.

Sorry, Is this bad or good thing? I hated REMEMBER THE URGE but in less than a week I loved the whole single so...

I do too but I don't think he means that it's going to be like TOXIC but heavier. He just mentioned that the songs will be more violent than TOXIC and that these songs wouldn't have been included in TOXIC because they are different than TOXIC. It's going to have a new/different sound but you can feel how it's continued from TOXIC.

‎-What kinds of songs will be in DIVISION? Ruki: What kind of songs? They're more violent than the ones in TOXIC. It'll be obvious when you've listened to it, the songs are not the same with the ones from TOXIC. Or you could say that the songs in DIVISION are those which we couldn't include in TOXIC. They're totally new but you can feel the a sense of continuation from the previous album. credits: GARISH ROOM vol. 15 The violent thought I love! Thoughts everyone?

But when you count in the time it takes to compose, record and market the entire thing it makes it feel a lot faster than it is. In terms of pure number of releases they're literally flooding their consumer base. In terms of material we get about an album's worth of it a year. An album a year is still pretty fast. RADICAL HYSTERIA was a cheap cash grab but I have a hard time "not counting it". BLASTED ANIMALS is something different. Considering they have the titles already plus a description of the sound I'm inclined to believe they've already recorded all of the material. Worst case: they may have just finished composing them and they're about to begin recording and that's what they intend for it to be called and sound like. Either way, they're still releasing a hell of a lot of material. I suppose I wouldn't care as much if this didn't feel like a VIGOUR leftover, which along with everything after the BLACK mini felt underwhelming. Yeah, I can see what you're getting at.

Well their last release was VIGOUR and that came out what? A month ago or so? RADICAL HYSTERIA is just a remastered single with 1 new song. This single won't be coming out for another 4 months so its not like its way too fast.

Their new look is actually their best look yet but I don't really care much for the looks much.

Love them, great news, can't wait!

FAKE is the opposite of REAL, FAKE was pretty great single and if they follow with logic, does that mean that REAL will suck? Or be not as badass as FAKE? Whatever, I'll get my hopes up as long as their covers don't look like they were made by a 13 year old and a laptop. According to CDjapan's home page, the song is being classified as a powerful guitar rock tune.

I don't know, I freaking love the instrumentals, more specific, the guitar riffs and bass but the vocals kills it. I think back to TATTOO and SEVEN and I can't believe this is them. I hate it and like it.

They'll most likely air it on like WOWOW or something hopefully. A DVD for it might not happen until maybe the end of the year if any.

With those titles, like Thrill Ride Pirates, this album might quite possibly blow! I still maintain that Mad$hip was the only good song on there.

Alice in Pictures III? Awesome!! So it's a live DVD then?

I got to say, this album absolutely surprised me and I am in love with it. There were many songs that hit the high spots for me, them being: Justice, Otoshiana, Nurashita, 21mg, AGE, Just Be Myself, and Designer Baby ( I think I am the only one who likes this song). The rest were either normal for me or I have yet to have my thoughts on it but they all sound great. Nurashita has a strange yet creeping cool melody, 21mg sounds like dauntingly beautiful ballad, Just Be Myself has got to be the best instrumental song they have made so far and I love it, it just shows how Anzi doesn't just do scales the whole time and he ventures with the melodies. Designer Baby, no one seems to like this but I love it. It starts off with this edo-period kind of sound to it and then you get the synths and then a choir joining in. Sono sings absolutely amazing and that's my favorite thing about the song. I love this album and I hope for more from them like this.

This look for new single entitled 7th Trigger, will be release 2012.03.28 with following tracklist: 01. 7th Trigger 02. バーベル〜皇帝の新しい服ver.〜 03. AWAYOKUBA-斬る Regular Edition Limited Edition w/DVD Full song here (I absolutely love it!) : rLhADUk0Sc8 Credits: OHP

Haven't really been listening to these guys much anymore since 2009 and the occasional BLEACH theme songs from them. This single was a great one to come back to with them. MASK is a really nice rock song from them that really takes me back with them and I just love it. Reason I love this band is because of the way the vocalist sings, kind of like he's singing while rapping at the same time. I love the piano melodies in the background done by the pianist. This is a really nice song and I love it. Sora ni Tsudzuku Michi is a really beautiful ballad that I have come to replay countless times over the course of this day. The chorus is very peaceful yet uplifting. I absolutely love this song and it is really soothing to my ears. 1980 is once again another very nice Aqua Timez with some fast rap singing from the vocalist and I really love it. This single was really great and I am so glad to come back to them with this single. Every time I listen to it I get really happy and energetic and I love that sensation.

Finally a PV!! I loved slip of my life and essentially, all the songs on their mini so I have high hopes. Most promising vkei band out there right now! 3 singles in 2 months!! Hell yeah!!
