    ^ From what I can tell, most bands use these symbols/themes because it's "exotic" or "cool" for them. Of course there are exceptions too (who are genuinely interested in christianity).

    Ever since I read about Kyo's complaints about God (to give it a soft name so to speak) I stopped lstening to Dir en grey. I mean one can agree or disagree, believe or not believe in God, but that doesn't give us the right to cross the line whether it be about christianity, buddhism and/or any other beliefs.

    So is it safe for someone so concerned about this topic to get this material by Lin?

    You have the right to express your honest opinion, you can't blame the artist for criticizing a god, making fun about one or whatever the case is.

    It is your fault if you happened to be offended, nobody forced you to listen to the song. Since he/she isn't going directly towards YOU, but just religion in general, there's nothing to be offended about.

    Fine if religion is to be respected, no problem, but so should the right to speak of your mind. And if your mind isn't on line with the whole god thing, then so be it.

    I so wish i had their stuff, i can only find their 2 mini albums, which i better buy before they're gone. But their demo's.. god they're going to be though to find, especially that... is it a vhs or dvd? x'D

    Epic! The re-recorded version of awake is flawless... *hysteric fan mode activate!*

    That's actually it... one of only two remaining bands from the Tokyo Visual Collection DVD to disband, only Tokami left.

    Seriously, i'm actually devastated... didn't see this coming at all, i had such high hopes for them ._.

    Not too fond with reviewing stuff, but i thought this actually needed a review by someone who, sit tight, actually likes NEGA. Haven't read much positive things of this album. So let's spice it with some positive feedback.

    Vanitas Vanitatum - I'm not a se guy, i rarely pay attention to them, i know they're there for a reason, and to set the sort of "mood" but they rarely works for me. 2/10

    Purgatory – Amazing. The NEGA i know and love, each member contributing into making this song a living harmonic beast, if that makes sense. Many have problems with Jin's vocals, which is fine, he is extreme after all. Yet he doesn't describe himself as a vocalist, but a vomiter, he vomits his feelings, which is what i find in NEGA's songs, a pile of emotions, hitting me all at once, creating a temporary reality, NEGA. Might have gone a bit too far here, but if there were any doubts, i liked the song. 8/10

    Fable In The Cold Bed – Nothing to say about this song, really, it's masterpiece of a comeback song! 9/10

    Goodbye Human – Bit odd i must add, but catchy with some pretty solid bass Ray (at least i think so) 7/10

    Biran Yue’ni – Aww god, this is earcandy. I love a smoooooth intro, which then "vomits" emotions and feelings all over me. 10/10

    V-Rock Is Dead – There's so much into this song. Not only are everything about NEGA gently massaged into it, it also take every aspect of a poor.. generic piece of *hit song, which a lot of bands recently produce like there's no tomorrow, and kills them. This is NEGA vs the generic world that is reality, NEGA is owning big time. 9,5/10

    Tamerau Kotonaku Blank Wo Kizutsuketa Yubisaki wa – Smooth intro, which then kicks into a gentle headbanging part, which then turns back to the smoothness. Then it's mixed together, creating an odd feeling, shall i relax? headbang? Provoking attitude from NEGA at its best. A half ballad with a lovely heavy touch. Great! 7/10

    Manashiki Sei No Guui Almost Equals Shi No Imi – This is... a decent attempt. The only song i just don't know if i like or not, not quite a ballad, but at times boring enough to be so. 6/10

    Will – Quite okay ballad, at least the best of the 2 on the album. Not quite much of an impact like Reminiscence was back in the days, but i'm certain they'll be able to make something of equal epic proportions! 7/10

    2012 – Good song that "opens you up" and makes your mind ready for the next song. 8/10 for successful mind manipulation

    Deluge – Da bomb! God i love this song. It's so brutal and heavy it's erotic! In order to avoid a creepy love story, here's 10/10, next song!

    Hindsight – This is a sad song, both the way it sounds, and the fact that it's on the album. Something is just meant to be live dist. never to see the light of a proper release. God this was boring. 2/10

    Omnia Vanitas – SE... next! 1/10

    Resonance – Well i had expected another boring dull hindsight... didn't expect an awesome kickass heavy piece of proper NEGA! I like my NEGA chilled, served like this! 10/10 bonus for making a proper finishing impact.

    Overall: This album shows their amazing talent as a band, and i hope there's more albums to come from NEGA, i wont lie and say i knew this was going to be great. I had my doubts, but they're looong gone now.

    NEGA, thank you for giving birth to this nightmare of epic value. VANITAS = 7,5/10
