Eraser

Great! We really need a ballad after those 3 singles and DSS (VANITAS wasn't enough).

The regular edition could be a bit weird with a lot of ballad/ballad-ish songs in the middle (I sense a bigger fail than the UNTITLED-PLEDGE combo tbh), but these tracks are placed on the same disc of the so-called concept album, so I really don't get the deal with these twisted tracklists. Other than that, there are some promising previews like the first 3 songs and a few more. DERANGEMENT is my favourit yet (the 2+ minutes long radio ver. sounds really nice as well).

HEADACHE MAN was the first thing that popped into my head.

Covers: I like the geisha's on the cover but why the fuck the TOXIC font again, it is so damn ugly I can't even...

I think the DIVISION logo is not a part of the cover. It's just the picture without any text on it (like STACKED RUBBISH and DIM).

I'm OK with this.

Here are the lyrics' of all 10 songs: http://mojim.com/twh109850.htm

Well, I'm kinda disappointed now. The whole thing looks too chaotic and stupid.

>DI

I mean, DISORDER, DIM, DIVISION, DISCHARGE, DISTRESS AND COMA (and maybe many others). So yea, it fits in.

Almost half of the album got a PV. Sounds good as always, but maybe this one is my less favourite yet.

They shouldn't get back to their "dark" style and just do whatever they like, but they need something to make it more interesting.

Completely agree with this.

Good news! Their last album wasn't their best, but it was still decent imo. I'm glad they will be active again (about time to release something new).

a continuation of 12012's new album.

How is this even possible?

Great song, a lot darker than anything from IBIM ("I feel there's nothing that I can do" <--- seems like he doesn't believe in himself anymore lol ). Really curious about the whole album, and I'm more than sure it will be awesome since they haven't done a bad/mediocre album or single yet.

Am I the only one who find the album title absolutely hilarious right after "I BELIEVE IN ME"?

Good news! As I can see, there are some old songs, but I don't think anything is available here except SINCE 19.. and REUNION, so I'm really curious about the other ones! Also here is the cover art:

The PV is horrible. I expect the song will be a little better without the video, but still...

Listened to Shudder and the SEVEN-singles today and can't believe they did this.

They will leak a new preview every day? This is pretty lame imo and it can easily spoil the whole thing, so I won't listen to MADMAN or any future sample from the album.

Only one week left...

FORTITUDE sounds good, but... no more preview, please!

I like it too, but I hope it won't be included on the new album. Don't really like the idea of putting b-sides on albums (like they did it with "All this I'll give you"), even if it's really good.

Great news! They had only one single after IBIM, so we won't get an album with songs we overplayed to death before. Their last album was good, but it had only 7 new songs + an intro (the IBIM PV was released at least one month before the album, so I must treat it like a single or something like that).

mar maroon wasn't that bad imo. It was just way different from everything they did before, but it was quite enjoyable to me after I get used to their "new" sound.

and the rest of album was the same typical AISHITERU PATI RABBU LAST MANTRAIN DAYO major 12012 bullshit they've been doing since cyclone or so.

Did you miss mar maroon?

Anyway, the title is kind of ironic after this preview.

I prefer Wataru's clean vocals, the chorus seems nice. I guess I won't like this album very much, since it seems they're going back to their roots :/

To me it would be fine if they did this (a new Shudder would be awesome), but I think it's not really their roots. I don't want to be Captain Obvious here, but this is actually sounds more like DIR EN GREY / RENTRER EN SOI than their early works. I don't care if they make "pop" or "hard" music, but it should be something new (or at least not something a lot of band did before).

Well... I hope the album will be better than this.

I honestly don't know what to say about this.
