When looking back at AINS 2014-2015, they sure downgraded themselves a lot. They were the best label in the indies scene back then tbh. Gossip and Diaura are alright nowadays but it's just not the same...
Die-hard MUCC fans are probably the luckiest ones ever due to these several reasons.
- 20 year music career and still on going. Never once went on a hiatus
- Lineup has never changed (if this doesn't count.)
- Never forget their roots whether their newer stuff sometimes sounds disappointing probably because of experimenting, they still know how to make good music as if it was originally from their initial era. I believe only very few or even none can do this.
- Regularly releasing new songs unlike other big bands from the same league.
- Older and way older songs are re-recorded from time to time. What surprised me most was when the original version of NO!?, their first demotape ever, was included in Ieiji. How did they manage to maintain their first song when the band's future wasn't in sight during the past 20 years?
This is from a casual MUCC fan's perspective like me. I'd have a lot to add if I were a hardcore one.
