Did anyone get this single, or is planning to obtain it in some way?

It's easy to give fault of this tracklist to the label, but we know that versailles were always made of stupid decisions since their begin, way before they went major. They always have been money suckers, but at least they made good music years back (maybe not as well produced, but without recycling the same ideas over and over). It's been years now since I lost faith in them, I haven't even listened to their last album, and honestly, I can't even listen to the old good songs anymore since i dislike them so much right now. They were once one of my favourite bands, I even went in a foregin country to attend to one of their lives, and then they gradually turned into shit. They were already beginning to get repetitive, then they turned major+jasmine death+new bassist= for me they kept only their bad aspects and forgot about the good ones.

I had high hopes for this album, after the huge disappointment of the last release (I dont even remember the album's name), in which the only song I liked was the remake. So, I thought "it's obvious that Mana has run out of ideas, a remake album may be a good one to keep my interest in mdm". And it actually did. I LOVE Seth (Seiji, Z, whatever), and I dont hate Juka...but let's be honest, whoever thinks that Juka is a better singer than Seiji, especially in lives...is just a horny fangirl. So, for me, this is already a big improvement (even though, it's quite obvious these songs werent "designed" for seiji, in some cases it doesnt even sound like him ahah). Aside the improvements in vocals, they got rid (kinda) of those crappy synth sounds that were used in their first releases, overall it's more enjoyable. The choice of the songs is not bad, but could have been better, in my opinion. The lack of monophobia is particulary disappointing. And pageant...I never liked its "happy" feel, and I still dont like it, it doesnt suit mdm at all. Another little disappointment was the prophet, a song that I love, and I found not having the same power of the original (especially the distorted voice, is not as creeply distorted as it used to be). Aside these "flaws", I really liked it. I liked je l'aime, the new song, too. Maybe it's because this is not an album filled with meaningless songs, so this new one can stand out a little (for being the only new one)..I'd just like to kill seiji for that crappy french in the end (is it french? idk, it just made my ears bleed). As for the SEs, I never care about them, listen to them once and then always skip them, and its not unusual for Mana to put 2-3 SEs in his albums, so it's not surprising. I wont give this a vote. I just liked it a lot, especially compared to the last release. Finally, I have some stuff from mdm to listen to again.

all of mdm albums are 12-13 tracks long, with 2-3 SE

am I the only one not giving a fuck about the new song, and willing to hear only the re recordings?

I'm not interested in the dvd (I never buy them), but..I need to understand the differences between the 2 cds, because I dont think I can afford em both, and my ass is already in pain thinking I'll have to chose only one.

wow, if it's an actual song (and not just an intro or something) I'm going to love it.

well, it's not art cube's fault if mana preferes scratching his balls and designing shit clothes for years, instead of making music. and to be honest, he's right about not making music anymore because there was not a single decent track in the last album (except the remade one) that's why I have high hopes for the "new" mdm album. decent old music, with a good singer. seiji is much more valorized in AC then in mdm anyway I'm very happy about new art cube's releases, even if I usually like only half of the songs they make. they're the only active visual band I care about.

thanks for the news! both Y and S remind me of kozi, obviously from two very different malice mizer eras the main problem about art cube's look, is that you can really tell they're old guys, under those makeups/wigs/clothes but I still love them <3

ok, did kozi take the place of K?

wow, I like the sound of both songs, looks like a promising release! a bit sad about the usual live only edition =_= I'll skip on it this time, I'll just download the new shitsurakuchou

since the last album to me was just a bunch of CRAP with the only good song being the re-recorded one, I really appreciate this. I love seiji, dont like juka too much, and especially dix inferno is a nice album with bad arrangements. I'm really looking forward to this.

zakuro again T_T well anyway it's good they're playing such good old songs, gives me hopes for a next tour to be even better

well, he did only ONE inward scream, so I dont know at what concert they where XD edit. now you give me doubts it wasnt exactly there, but I'm 100% sure he did it just once...that, or I'm a total idiot. :v

inward scream was between shokubeni and tsumi to kisei and about karasu/obscure stuff, he doesnt "make up" lyrics, he just changes it. he's been doing that version of obscure for a while, and the lyrics were always the same. if I remember correcly, that goes also for concieved sorrow, for example. that video of karasu is great, it's pratically the same song...I dont care much if he changed the words since it's not a melodic song
