Just crossing my fingers and hoping this won't be X-RAYS part 2.

I think Vidoll has improved, especially the vocals have. ALSDEAD has amazing compositions but crappy production. Too hard of a choice here.

I remember they said something in a video message for fans about visiting France. Hopefully if they decide to perform in France, they'll do it in a Europe tour.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I think they did a good job at this with some songs because they are nicely connected to eachother. The transitions are smooth while they still feel like different songs. That's not easy to do. But some other changes are way too abrupt. Like from M to ??.. what was that.

Basically a 5.5/10 would be average and a just passing mark. Because you generally never give a 0/10. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 5 and 6 are the middle grades. So 5 is not a passing grade but 6 is. Anyway, rate however you like. If I have to keep the song a rating, it would be a 3/10. Just because I still think it sucks. Only plus is they show they can play their instruments. But the song itself is sloppy and the vocals are horrible.

D'ERLANGER kicks ass. One of the most underrated rock bands of all time. And their sound is so amazing. If they ever do a Europe tour and visit a place near me, I'll be first in line.

DETOX was pretty awesome. The album Versus felt like one very long song though, with few variation. Hopefully their new one won't feel like one song.

What the... fuck this I spent a lot of time listening to Kagerou the past week.. never listened to them as much before and now this? What a weird and unpleasant coincidence. I always underrated his music and now just when I start fully appreciating it... the singer is gone. Very sad news. RIP

I'm going to write this as I listen to it for the second time: SADNESS - I kinda like this intro. It is well placed before the next song. 6/10 JUST THE WAY YOU ARE - Too short, but I like it. Really like the piano in this song. Like the vocals and the melody. Nothing bad about this one except the length. It's over way too soon. 7/10 GOSSAMER - Intro sucks, rest of the song is below average. The song really leads into nothingness. No excitement whatsoever except for the actual singing part. Which is not all that special either. 5/10 Usubeni to Ame - Vocals could have been better but I like this song. Pretty straightforward but good. 7/10 Last Train - Don't like this chorus at all. Especially the beginning of it. The repeated shouting on the background throughout the song is just annoying. Solo is bad. Rest of the song is too. I don't know what they tried to do here but they failed. 2/10 Kubarareta Card etc. long title - Better than last song. I like the guitars here. The vocals are not great, but not bad either. Most points go to the instruments here. 6/10 BIRTHDAY PARTY OF SECRET ROOM - Don't like the intro, but do like the guitars shortly after. Drums and bass are also nicely played. But this is another song that leads to nowhere. Does not really get exciting at any point. There's only the "this is okay" feeling left. 6/10 M - This is a parody. 1/10 ?? - Huge change from the previous song but in a very positive way. Relaxing atmosphere. Very nice vocals throughout the whole song. Song grows towards the end. Finally a non-single track that feels like it's going somewhere. 7/10 Tattoo - Another great song. Nothing bad about this song really. Like this very much. 8/10 Mayakashi - Interesting one. Not bad at all. Just wish this was longer because it feels incomplete. 7/10 THE PAIN OF CATASTROPHE - Worst intro ever, seriously. After the intro the song gets much better. 8/10 Confession - They saved the best for last. I love this. I don't get why they added the utterly useless garbage as "hidden track" towards the end though. Now the track is nearly 20 minutes while the actual song "Confession" lasts only for the first 5 minutes, and ends with a stupid fade-out. Don't like the fade-out. But I like the rest. 8/10

I like Muse, but sometimes they disappoint. Like, what the HELL is up with "United States of Eurasia"?! Except for a nice part that lasts like 20 seconds, the rest of the song is an epic failure. And I don't usually use "epic failure". But this is it. Their b-sides also always suck. Dumb remixes and bad covers. Okay, and now something positive: New Born and Bliss are some awesome songs.

IMHO: this is the worst song they've ever made besides the Orion Once Again remix (if that counts because it's just a remix). Hate pretty much everything about it. Melody, vocals, instruments. They just about hit the very lowest point of the atlantic ocean with this single. They cannot go any worse than this so I'm sure their next single will be better.

Wow, Gothikaroid re-recording. That comes unexpected. I really liked that song but it was recorded with very average vocals. The vocals have become better over time so now I'm really excited to hear the new version.

Pop I guess. Nana Mizuki, YUI and Utada Hikaru mostly. Besides those, I've never really been into genres like jazz, blues, electro, hiphop etc. I can like these other genres but they have to be mixed with rock it seems. For example, Boom Boom Satellites are cool. They mix electronic music with rock. Rock is pretty much the basic ingredient for me. It just has to be there for some reason.

DELUHI, no doubt. SCANDAL is a bit of a weird choice to put in that list... I do like them sometimes.

Well, it pretty much died and won't be up for at least a month. Only the users and posts have been saved. The rest needs to be rebuilt from scratch I heard. For now there's this forum.

I think it was but I can't find the source right now. After some more listens I don't really like Born to be Free either. It's way below their standards. I.V and Jade were also below their standards, but not as much. Just a different direction which is ok. But Born to be Free does not excite me at all anymore.

At their press conference in Tokyo they reportedly said the following: - Album is 90% finished now, aim is to release it sometime this Fall - Jade is going to be the first single of the album - Sugizo composed one song for the album, which might be played for the first time at the NISSAN live - There are plans for a North America tour including Canada

I'm just really happy it didn't turn out to be a Netherlands - Germany final. There's still this crazy rivalry between the two countries in soccerland. When people talk about such a match it's like they talk about a freakin' WAR. As if the Germans are our mortal enemies. The hype would've been of enormous proportions. I don't wanna be in that shit... I'm gonna watch the match and I guess cheer for the Dutch team as I'm Dutch, but I wouldn't mind if Spain wins.

Well, color wasn't all that bad, but I wish for the next single to be better.

SADS - Evil Their new album is great!

Never really listened to them a lot either. But I liked some of their songs so I'm excited too. Also partly to see if they can make a good comeback. Because you can call it a comeback...
