ghost reacted to Naaaaani in X JAPAN important announcement
"With 10 re-recorded old songs and 1 new song"

ghost got a reaction from nullmoon in BORN - THE STALIN -666-
Belongs in the recycle bin. No, the digital incinerator to burn it into ashes, the compactor to crush it to dust, and then buried inside the core of a star to sear its binary essence out of existence.
Pretty much each song has its main "trailer material" melody and then completely unrelated everything else. Taking "the Stalin" for example, we're drawn in by a dark sounding cadence and then the rest of the song is your average poppy vk rock song. Why even have that intro? Nothing is cohesive on this album and the only parts that sounded interesting were the parts the band showed in the trailer to sucker in people who were tricked into thinking the band actually tried.
"Human Hole" is the only song I kind of like (But, what's up with the name?). It's an instrumental and was the song the band had on their OHP for a while.
2/10 because of Human Hole.

Motion picture:
lol @ my horrified face. I almost drove into a ditch! As you can see, I learnt to drive an ATV today. (And car a little bit. According to my sister, she counted me saying "omg, help, we are gonna die" and "help" 25 times each.)

ghost reacted to Ito in sukekiyo - IMMORTALIS
Just putting this out there, but Hisashi's remix of hidden one should be the definition of terrible dubstep remixes.

ghost reacted to Pretsy in sukekiyo
By the way people, in case you're interested in (original) composers of each IMMORTALIS song, here's the interview in ameblo with per-song analysis
http://ameblo.jp/712031/entry-11847194786.html
so here's the list:
Elisabeth Addict - Takumi (he did the original song 5 years ago, apparently) mostly + Kyo and small input by other members (at least according to Barks.jp)
Destrudo - Takumi (around the same period with "Elisabeth"?)
Latour - UTA
Nine Melted Fiction - UTA
Zephyr - Takumi (obviously)
Hidden one - YUCHI (also, Mozart reference in the solo)
Aftermath - YUCHI
Uyuu no Sora - Takumi
The Daemon's Cutlery - YUCHI
Scars Like Velvet - UTA
Mama - Kyo
Vandal - UTA (obviously)
Hemimetabolism - Takumi and Kyo
Kugui - UTA
Madara Ningen - the whole band as far as I understood?
In All Weathers - Takumi and Kyo

ghost reacted to nullmoon in sukekiyo 1st album "IMMORTALIS"
YouTube maybe? People do remixes on there all the time and link people to their pages etc.
You're idea is awesome by the way, I really love the song up until the middle section.

So this is kind of weird but I created an edit of "hemimetabolism" without the loud middle section. I like the original song but I really like the calm and relaxing mood of the beginning and end and wanted version I could listen to with just those parts.
It's a simple cut and paste with some fade in and outs to make the transition clean and cuts the song to about 3 minutes.
I was just wondering if anyone wanted the edit or if this was even allowed if I were to upload it.

ghost reacted to finnthesubhuman in Dir en grey
Am I the only person who thinks an abundance of toms and less frequent snare usage is actually interesting and not exactly the same thing as every other VK/exVK band currently active? Or do we want everyone to sound like

But that was a loooooooooooooong time ago.

ghost reacted to Zeus in BORN - THE STALIN -666-
Score: | I hope you kept the receipt...
This mini-album is tragic.
THE STALIN -666- is the best example of stereotypical modern visual kei in all of it's trappings. There is no good track on this mini-album. I got nothing out of the listening experience. I don't often skip tracks when I do them to write a review, but I skipped half of the album before deleting the files. This is the first record I have ever given a flat 1 to and it deserves it.
The chief failures to note are Ryouga's "edgy roar", the constant and spontaneous changes in stylistic mood, and the inability to develop a song that doesn't sound like a collage of lame riffing and short jingles. The cheap pop hooks and useless interlude are just bonuses and reinforces the idea that no one in this band is trying. It's the same formula that they've beaten to death since their inception in 2004, but they sound more starved for new ideas than ever. The title is also dull and contrived. In it's attempt to sound dark and edgy, it just looks and sounds embarrassing and has nothing to do with the music. This is the newest entry into the not-so-metaphorical race to the bottom in this scene where bands try to outdo one another in producing the most generic alternative metal music they can as often as possible. I would love to see your faces when you listen for yourself and realize that they spent two days making this and you dropped a good $50 on some flashy packaging and a coaster.
I don't know who spent money on this, but next time you can just give it to me instead.
