I know this is a long list, but I truly believe these are all albums that must be listened to before passing on.
Each one of these albums/releases left a big impression on me the first time I listened through.
I feel different now about certain releases than I did before, but that initial impact hasn't changed and I can't see myself without these albums. -

I'm just waiting for an album release now. Or maybe at least a mini.
I admit with a name like "DECAYS" I was expecting something more dark and ominous.
But I can dig this.

That's a pretty interesting dish. Have you tried it before/yet?

I learned the meaning of "420".

@yakihiko:
Yeah, I can see that. But, with The Stalin, I felt like all the songs were not cohesive. The songs had nice segments, but as a whole the execution sounded clunky and/or uninteresting. It definitely sounds more faithful to their original sound compared to the singles (which isn't really saying much). I got major "Vigour" vibes from the mini. It's almost like a Vigour part II.
I think I'll give "The Stalin" another couple spins and re-evaluate it. It's been a while since I've listened to it, and at the time I did I had lots of hype that influenced the way I felt about the mini.
Wow, that sucks about Kifumi. I felt like he fit right in with born.
@Seimeisen:
I agree about AHM, although, tbh I look at in a more favorable light than most people do. I guess for me I just really like the sound/atmosphere of the album. Many of the individual tracks can definitely be stronger, but I really do enjoy the album as a whole.
My personal favorite AHM tracks are "-A.H.M-", "Extremely Waltz", "Chemical Romance", "Tragedy", "Innocent bullet", "Rotten Cherry", "THE END".
Listening to their old material just makes me think of how much greater born COULD have been if they focused and developed this dark and sound. AHM was good, felony was great, and Red Hot Cobra wasn't bad. They wrote a lot of good slow-paced songs with good energy (felony, the fragrance noise, Cobra, etc.) I at least felt they were somewhat a bit unique at the time. Not a lot different, but enough to make me say "hey, I like these guys. They have a cool sound." Now everything just seems to be high energy and poppy.
That's why I felt like their live-limited singles gimmick was a BIG spit in the face to fans. They hinted at the possibility of bringing this sound back with the track list by including songs from that era, and then delivering A-sides that sounded exactly like stuff they were doing now, shoehorning in 3 boring electronic tracks Ryouga made when he was bored and decided he wanted to learn how to make DDR music on YouTube, and then re-packaging and splitting "felony" into those 3 different singles without doing something cool like a re-recording or anything. Oh yeah, and they were live-limited so fans who couldn't go to that live either had to cash out a bunch of money to buy it second hand at much higher prices (if a copy could even be found), or just not listen to it at all.
I'm curious to see how well they would do with another album. born seems to be a "singles" band right now that just constantly churns out average singles. Vigour was alright. I feel like they could make a decent attempt at a 3rd album.

Rentrer en Soi - Strawberry Oblaat
How do you get rid of an annoying person?

It's solid!
I listened to this at work through phone speakers on low volume, but it still sounds great! Very lynch. very good.
This gets me excited for the album.

Aluminum foil makes a great PV background. Just no flash photography please.

I was listening to Son of a Bitch though recently and I really like the b-Sides.
The second track has a sweet guitar cadence and I like the chorus. Ryouga sings pretty well and I like the variety of vocals he uses (not overdone like in Stalin and Satisfaction!)
The 3rd track is okay. It's not as good imo but the guitar solo is solid. I don'the really like the first 2/3 of the song because it's repetitive and not that interesting, but once the piano comes and in and transitions into the solo, the song gets good.
What do people think of born's direction of sound? I feel like it hasn't been consistent and they just haven't been the same since Kifumi left. They focus too much on integrating electronics and, as a result, I feel they've lost their unique sound. I mean, their composition itself has been stale too.
-
Agreed. Although, I think my favorite covers are:
-abnormal head machine (for its simplicity. I think K designed it too).
-Vigour (for it's weird yet eye-catching imagery)
-Blasted Animals Limited Edition
-felony (I dunno, it just feels so VK to me)
Their covers are getting progressively uglier.
