I definetly love cats, here's mine. Her name's Saszka. I keep her in my home since 2001, perhaps Hope it's visible. Who wouldn't think that lazy, sleepy cats are so cute But overall I have a lot of favourite animals mostly the wild ones. These are raccoons, pandas, foxes, especially them, you can often recognise me at several portals. I use there lot of happy, sleepy foxies at my profile pics Yeah, I know that wild animals aren't pets, so hope it's not an offtop

Ok guys, now it's my turn I'm not so good at writing the reviews, but as a huge Dir En Grey fan, I'll try to do my best. During the writing I'm actually listening to the album. Anyway It's been 3 years since Uroboros, so what Diru will suprise me this time? Let's play it, shall we? *plays* 狂骨の鳴り - Fantastic opening track! It starts of with some piano chords, but gets good when the sound that we remember from the sample kicks in. It partly reminds me of some Modern Warfare 2 soundtrack, wish I'd think about the name lol. Further in the background one can hear the Kyo's (?) crazy screams, which let me know how badass the album gonna be 9/10 The Blossoming Belzebub - A proggy track. It leads with the first guitar riffs, which make me feel like first digging into the vibes of the album. It contains slow Kyo's melodic singins which makes me think what should I expected. When it gets to the end, the song turns out to be sth like a... warm up. 9/10 Different Sense - The drums at the beggining along with Kyo's screams sound just epic. I just was running through my home and insanely headbanging The chorus part brings some calmer moods especially before the end. And I like the sound of guitars at this end. 10/10 Amon - Again all what I expect from Diru! The most phat thing about this song is the bass And like in DS I went crazy during the past paced parts and rested a bit during the slow paced ones. Once again, it's awesome 10/10 「欲巣にDREAMBOX」あるいは成熟の理念と冷たい雨 - Whoa, such a long title! But let's get back to the song, the beginning sounds very climatic, kicks ass with it's blend of melody and hard sound. The middle part of the song was the shit!!!! And I've got again dizziness after headbanging. And as many ppl said it's one of the songs that stands out. Hell yeah, it DOES!!! 10/10 獣慾　- Holy shit, this greatness seems to never end! Can't think of any disadvantages of the album so I'll propably keep giving high rants 10/10 滴る朦朧 - It begins with a proggy guitar intro. Kyo's singing variety presents itself great as always! The ending gets slow-paced so I'm probably going to hear a calmer song. 10/10 Lotus - We all already know it from the single. But I have to say this, I like everything about this song! The beginning, the verses and the chorus are all sounding great! And the ending goes quietly, but maybe it's a prepare for the next hard track. 10/10 Diabolos - And this is the Vinushka of the album. The things that the song shares is the structure. Dark vibed beginning of the song and the progressive heavy going guitars are already saying that I'm gonna expect sth awesome, epsecially when the Kyo's growls are heading in. And it gets really fired up! After it returns to the mellow sound, that slowly turns into heavy one again. I think it gonna stuck in my head for a long time. 10/10 暁 - It again has climatic start with phat guitars. Like in Amon the bass guitar is my favourite part, as if Toshiya learned it from Fieldy. It has a bit less heavier sound, but who cares?! It rock the hell out of me 10/10 Decayed Crow - The scream and drumming are here the best part. And again I jumped away from the desk and started intense headbanging again! And I needed to take a bit break, because I felt my head spinning Anyway this is the most outstanding too! 10/10 激しさと、この胸の中で絡み付いた灼熱の闇 - The second long-ass title, lol, but the astonishment dates back to the last year when the single came out. When I gave it a shot I felt that the future album will have amout of madness And I know that it has! 10/10 Vanitas - A ballad. It sounds really beautiful, especially when you want to rest after the heaviness. The beginning parts remind me of Zakuro and Kasumi. When the guitars comes in it gives me the all the feeling that I expect from Diru's ballads. Too bad that they did made just one on the album. Anyway it sound very good. 10/10 流転の塔 - And finally I get to the ending track. The beggining part awakes some alternative metal sound to me (and I really like this genre). As for the last song on album it isn't very usual for DeG, but when the chorus comes makes it sound more correct. It also has Vinushka-like sturcture that will probably become a recignition part of Diru. Overall, this one sounds good too. 10/10 There are 2 bonus tracks: 羅刹国 and Amon (symphonic album). The first one is a remake of the 11th song from Macabre, I would be very unusual back in their Visual Kei times. The second one is Dimmu Borgir-like version of Amon. Can't decice whether this or original version is better. Overall, I think that this album is an absolute masterpiece. I'm gonna say like many people that the metal vibes suprised me a lot. As I said many times before, Dir en Grey has always presented sth good to me. Guys seem to try to found a new metal genre and they're heading on very close. Though I'd want to hear some songs like from Vulgar or WtD. Or Six Ugly, which is my most favourite release that Diru ever made. But as for the album, I'm gonna say: it WAS worth to wait for it. Fenomenal work, Dir en Grey! 10/10

They're heading to Poland on 20th August, hope I still have a chance to get the ticket. I've got DSS today but soon I'm going on holiday so I'll give it a listen (yeah, since I've seen how good reviews did it recieved )

I've heard about him before. He was the great musician during the 60s. Why a lot of music leggends dies? R.I.P.

I dunno what to say. They already seem to have fun with commercialism. I think that they should change their name, at least. They really finished themselves off with their last album. And yet they're going to make another single, that will surely be lame as Color. Or even worse

I don't think that Cold Blood wasn't bad, I'd rather find it quite OK, even if I liked "Master of Romance" more. Crossing the fingers for the single, maybe it's gonna be great Btw Oh, i forgot to edit my thoughts on CB maybe I'll do it later when I"m going to have some free time.

9 / 10

Whoa it's already on? I can't decide whether I should buy or order it

Happy Birthday Ronluna! And too sugoge as well.

Nirvana - Stay Away

I've before used various nicknames on various forums, but after some time i started to use one plain nickname. Ocassionally on MH, Futoshi comes form Uehara Futoshi, Maximum the Hormone's bassist and '92 is my year of birth. But nowadays on most of pages I'm kacper92 (Kacper is my name).

Even if I'm not a big X Japan fan, I have my respect for Taiji. And the same for Hide. R.I.P.

The first and second picture FTW!!! I think I'll add it to my profile signature

Ok, so my native language is Polish. (yeah, probably you gonna ask me how hard the grammar is, lol) When I was 3 I already could read Russian Later I started Learning German since the primary school. If it's about Japanese I've got a book about kanji for Christmas when I was 9. Later my grandma sent me from US Japanese course when I was 14. I studied it, and later I started attending at course. I've already passed JPLT at level N4 If it's about other language I often learn mostly the scripts, in example I learned to read Arabic last year.

Maximum the Hormone! In Hamburg. The fans were jumping and moshing like crazy. I'll never forget this madness

Here's mine. I've joined you recently http://www.lastfm.pl/user/kacper92

Whoa, I've just wanted to ask if are there any previews but I hope that I didn't find out way too late. Anyway, I'm listening to them. The first already soundes awesome, that's gotta be one of the best intros ever

I'd like to hear some Japanese alternative metal bands. I don't have such a big demands but any recommendations?

Different Sense - The beginning sounds good. Pure energy and intense drumming during the verse and the chorus has decent clean singing. All what I expect froum Diru! 9/10 罪と規制 - I think I'm kinda neutral about it. I got feeling as if it was half too long. What I saw there were ppl saying that it was a remake of "Tsumi to Batsu" (or Mitsu to Tsuba, how the heck should I read it in the proper way?) from Gauze album. But I don't see any similarities. 5/10 Red Soil [live] - I was never that interested in their live records, but I'll give a try. The beginning reminded me of "Mr. Newsman" but the part when Kyo was screaming sounded "Withering to Death" like. Still quite good 7/10 Overall: 8/10 And I'm gonna say that I'm already excited for DSS (but I know others are too )

Jeez, It really makes me feel sad, whenever I'm thinking about it RIP DespairsRay, thanks for the 12 years of badass music! I still have a bit of hope that Hizumi will recover.

Google itself: 206 results Images: 66 results And at the first place there was my avatar And most of them are from MH

I'm very sad about that too! Even though i was listening to them for 3 years, I think that is shocking. Hizumi's scream was purely awesome and I really liked their last album. We will all miss Despas, but who knows maybe they will return. I still have hope that they will be back even after some years.

I can't stop myself thinking that Diru is trying to try a bit of punkish sound Btw I'm fan of hardcore music but I hope that the new album will also have some melody.
