    Genuine question, no trollin at all: What makes any track on DEICIDA better than TATTOO, or THE PAIN OF CATASTROPHE, leaving personal preference aside, and focusing on composition creativity, technical level, and performance?

     

    I wasn't aware of all this hate on SEVEN, I find it a very well balanced album, with songs to please major crowds and early days fans aswell...

     

    Why do you think people are hating on SEVEN? I didn't see anything like that in this thread.

     

    I think it was their best album since PLAY DOLLs, and its singles (the 2 you mentioned & Usubeni to ame) are all awesome. SEVEN was a nice attempt going back to their darker era after an overly poppish album, while their s/t was an over-the-top release, as if they'd try to compensate for their j-pop years so hard that an "average" dark album can't be enough, they must deliver DIR EN GREY-level heaviness to convince their fans they're over the j-pop thingy. At least that's how this whole thing looks like to me.

    This PV spot is exactly what they should have done after SEVEN. The sound, the visuals... even the new logo suit them much better now. They took a semi-new direction overall, yet they managed to keep the best parts of their new style.
     

    I personally dont care how was the old 12012 sounds like, but tbh since they released Suicide, I started to follow this band. Although the self titled album wasnt that impressive for me, DEICIDA OF SILENCE, in the other hand was really kicking ass.

    Regarding THE SWAN preview, I like the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th songs so far. In my humble opinion they should stay the hurrdurr direction instead of getting back to their ass poppish gay past music. No offense.

     
    Just check out their early releases, they were playing dark & heavy music in the first place before turning into j-pop. The "ass poppish gay past music" was a 3-year period out of 10.

    I strangely like everything except for the first track (which seems to fall into the growling swan thing the second after sample cuts off)

     

    I only like the first track. D:

     

    Off topic but nice that they updated their OHP with HQ cover artworks (1000x1000) 

    Artwork cover for "THE SWAN" is looking really good!

     

    Finally! And yea, it looks really good (way better than the CUNNING KILLER-DEICIDA OF SILENCE combo).

    FADELESS

     

    After hearing the previews, I was sure I will like it (even though it's not perfect & could be much better without overusing the female vocals in the chorus). Their A-sides rarely disappoint me. 7/10

    QUIET

     

    Expected this to be a lot better since I really enjoy their ballads, but it's just plain boringness to me so far. Hope it will grow on me though. 4/10

     

    FORBIDDEN BEAVER

     

    Couldn't listen to it without feeling awkward the whole time. 2/10

    ^ Yes, it's a mini-album.

     

    Btw, are these all new songs? Because I'm sure I read it somewhere (probably in this thread, but can't find the post anymore) that the album will includes re-recordings.

    I have mixed feelings toward their last EP. While I happened to like the title track (if we forget about that awkward thing in the middle) and some parts of the other songs, the overall thing didn't impress me at all. I just can't deal with their new style, because it still looks like a never-ending bad joke to me. So even if they still write some songs I like, I wish they were go back to 2010 and start it over again (others might say go back to 2006, but I'm only complaining since their s/t).
