lmao best disbanding reason ever

I love the 1st song.

So I received my copy a couple hour's ago......Type Shi. Still waiting on Chou anyway's onto the review
 
 

1.) THE HOPELESS 
 
Okay so let's start off with how amazing this is. I am trying to process all the eargasm that just pounded my eardrum relentlessly. I dont even know where to start, Just holy fuck like okay so....JIN's growling......amazing.....This is like NEGA on steroids. The beginning where he growl's "絶望" just oh my god....It's just like NEGA never left.....like it got way better....The Breakdown and Guitar solo made my ears.....cum. Sorry for saying some gross shit like that but this is just way too amazing for me to handle on so many levels. JIN'S BANSHEE SCREAM IS BACK!!!!! MNNNPGH!!!!! THE BLACK SWAN looks promising.....VERY PROMISING.
 
2.) HATE YOURSELF UNTIL YOU DIE
 
This.......is the work of a GOD........The guitars and piano and magical esque thing's....I just can't even handle it......This song is very nostalgic. In a way for me it's like NEGA had a baby with Phantasmagoria, like the child is just beautiful. This song is that child, again JIN's banshee scream and his new way of growling. I love it when he screams "HATE YOURSELLLLLLLLLLLLLLF" It's perfect, this is NEGA re-born to the fullest extent. THAT TERM ITSELF IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT BY THE WAY.....
 
THIS GETS A 100/10
 
Im serious. It's just that good.
 
They took a diarrhea dump on Arlequin with this one. Everything about this is perfect. EVERYTHING BABY. 

I recommend this to you if you miss NEGA'S sound cause JIN definitely took it with him.
 

Artist: girugamesh EP: Gravitation Score: After a few years of borderline radio-friendly stagnation, Girugamesh have hit back with quite possibly their best release yet.
After a few years of borderline radio-friendly stagnation, Girugamesh have hit back with quite possibly their best release yet. Last year's Monster symbolised a beacon of hope for both fans and the band. The aggression was back, the heaviness was back, Girugamesh was back. Although steeped in pop-sensibilities at times, the album took a 180 from pop to electronic metalcore, leaving the burning wrecks of Now and Go far behind.

It's been a year since their last full-length Monster, and Gravitation not only keeps this reclaimed heaviness in place but polishes it to perfection. Kicking off with their hardest song to date, 'Go Ahead' lures you in with gentle tones before ripping your head off. Satoshi's transition from gentle crooning to terrifying growls, for example, are nothing short of frisson worthy. Having the rawest vocals, the hardest breakdown, and the most memorable chorus, this song characterises the EP and spearheads their new sound. As a song that can only be described with superlatives, 'Go Ahead' highlights how Gravitation has led the band to a new level of heaviness. This permeates throughout the EP. While 'Reflection' displays a hard metalcore influence, for instance, 'Vortex' goes beyond that, opting for a thrashy deathcore vibe; a massive departure from Go in many respects.

I thought it would let up at some point but the whole EP is like this; every time a lull in the intensity is expected, it continues its bombardment of chunky riffs and pleasantly incessant drumming. This is exemplified best in 'Reflection' where Satoshi tries to do some severe damage to his throat...in the best possible way. They could have included a slower, gentler track to give the listener a breather, but instead they opted for five heavy songs varying in loudness and intensity. The infectious electronic elements and catchy vocals which have characterised their more recent efforts are used to full effect here, modernising their previous sound and making each track as memorable as the last. All of these elements culminate in 'Vortex' which, replete with screams, riff-heavy guitar work and double-bass pedaling, is the best way to end Gravitation: in the same loud and exciting way in which it started, exuding a confidence not found on their older material. This is the Girugamesh we wanted after Music and the band sure as hell knows it.
 
By cramming everything their fans love about them into one neat package, Girugamesh has created their best effort yet. Contrary to more recent releases, the intensity and loudness of their old sound is back and better than ever. While taking a new form reflective of some current "-core" genres, classic Girugamesh permeates to the point where they might win their older fanbase back.

Upon listening to Gravitation it's clear that Girugamesh are back and louder, heavier and better than ever!

Additional note by me: I know that many people around here have a lot against this artist - I do get it of course (sometimes it's either a) her vocals or her overboard, quirky and naive "musical status"). But seeing as fortunately some people manage to get over these pretexts - and see that she definitely deserves her own position in Nakata's "girl-vocal-group-trio" (Kyary-Perfume-Capsule these days), who for their part deserve respect for being able to convey Nakata's lively world of electro music. Those who are quite interested - AND acknowledge "the man behind Kyary", know certainly what I'm saying.
 
Tracklist with romanizations:
 
Now that we have a producer, who's definitely on fire release-wise - we have a chance to look at his...or in this case, Kyary's new full-length called "Pikapika Fantajin". Some people felt that Kyary's release tempo was getting too fast, and thus some singles ended up being quite "effortless" according to the general critic fanbase (especially in Japan, hm). But in the end the album itself managed to reveal some truly welcome surprises , and I am going to take them into account as well as I review this piece...
 
After we get past the majestic-like intro, the album kicks out with three single tracks - "Kirakira Killer" ,"Yume no Hajima Ring Ring"'s album mix and "Mottai Night Land". "Kirakira" is a full-on, upbeat and typical Kyary track, so there's not really much to say about it - other than that it's quite great, and works well as a possible "indicator of typical Kyary-istic sound". Yume no Hajima Ring Ring on the other hand caused some "small ruckus" in Japanese netizens' part due to various plagiarism/"zero effort"-crapstorms. Quite unfortunate that this child-like, but nicely nostalgic piece got too much hate - and in vain. Yes - the song itself was way too straight-forward as a Kyary's single song, but Nakata interestingly enough took some notes from general reaction towards his piece - and rearranged some parts (especially the final chorus which sounds much more...nostalgic and epic, hehe) for this album. My positive opinion didn't change at all even after some "obvious renovations" in this album mix - best single out of "Pikapika" over here! "Mottai" instead has nothing much to pinpoint - very straightforward effort as well, but I think ragtime-y piano saves it from becoming a dull filler.
 
Then we move on to the song, who deserves a lot more than just this lousy paragraph - "Serious Hitomi". Quite a shocker for those familiar with Kyary's earlier repertoire, seeing as the song heavily relies on "real band sound": you can hear and jam freely along to the guitar soloing, dynamic bassline and nice drums. I cannot come up with any proper comparison for "Serious", but let's make a bit faraway fetch anyway: imagine if Kyary covered Tokyo Jihen's "indiest" songs - a la "FOUL" or "Noriki" for instance. Might sound too biased to be true, but at least it gives you a general idea about awesomeness happening here. Possibly the best song of Kyary? J/k, j/k...very good one though.
 
Rest of this album still needs more "digesting" - but on the other note, it makes you think whether Nakata was getting too lazy while making this album: "do do pi do" and "Tokyo Highway" are definitely the stars of "latter half", mainly thanks to their nods towards Nakata's other projects (Capsule and Perfume, respectively), but in the meanwhile we have songs like "Ring a Bell" and "Koi Koi Koi", which are just wayward silly - and Explorer, despite being quite an okay track (retro-y strings  ) , is definitely nothing close to the proper closer material, and thus leaves a listener confused. Where did "Chan Chaka Chan Chan"-like closers go, Nakata? I'd personally put "Yume no Hajima" here, thanks to its obvious farewell-like message.
 
I have nothing much to say about remaining single mixes - they are okay, albeit very straightforward efforts.
 
The release in general starts out quite solidly, but ends up quite lazily (the same problem occured in "Nanda Collection" as well). Positive thoughts-wise though, there are many tracks worth pinpointing - and my personal picks are:
 
Standouts: Serious Hitomi,  do do pi do, Tokyo Highway, Yume no Hajima Ring Ring
Cool tracks: Kira Kira Killer
Okay tracks: Mottai Night Land, Family Party, Sungoi Aura, Explorer
Tracks worth the big fix:  Ring a Bell, Koi koi Koi
(I won't rate the title track - intro, duh)
 
- Not really perfect, but still very solid release by Kyary...and Nakata. Might come back here to edit more if I have more to say/fix.

lol at people thinking it's a fashion style. Are you some sort of retarded for believing people would make something like this up? 
 
I don't know him personally (of course) but in general people suffering from schizophrenia can't get cured completely but there still is a chance that they find the right medication which could help him with the symptoms caused by his schizophrenia so it doesn't mean he stays locked up for the rest of his life and in case they find the medication and he takes them as he is supposed to he might feel better someday so I don't think that the band is completely off tables but it might take a while. Antipsychotics/Neuroleptics might not be the best medication out there but it is NOT impossible that he might feel better at some point. I really hope he does because he really is an amazing musician. 

I searched them but there were no results. .___. Could you send me the links, please?

PV is useless ^^' Songs are more important.

I met them about 2 years ago when Guillotine came out. I really LOVED that song. Since then they've become better and better. But it seems to me that almost no one interested in them nowadays. Even their last 2 singles still not uploaded anywhere...

So guys, what do you think of them now?

Cool.

THIS SINGLE IS GREAT.  MUCH BETTER THAN EMIT.
 
TRACK ONE: 1414287356 - Awesome great pop rock song with a very Japanese sound reminiscent of MYV and such~. Really catchy and fun. The lyrics and singing are great~! 5/5
 
TRACK TWO: Subete wa Kono Te no Naka ni - GREAT. JUST FUCKING GREAT. Probably my favorite song on this single. Awesome great energy, great atmosphere. Love the layered synths over the other instruments~. Yusa's singing is so good~! 5/5
 
TRACK THREE: SHOKU - THIS SONG IS REALLY GOOD TOO. Really catchy and fun~. "Don't bug me~! You're so mean~!" 5/5
 
TRACK FO: IDEOLOGY - I LOVE THIS SONG OH GOD. OH GOD. SO GOOD. THE CHORUS IS JUST GREAT OK. OK. OK. FIVE FIVE FIVE FIVE FIVE OUT OF FIVE.
 
THIS SINGLE. I don't understand. It's miles better than Emit. Maybe they got a better producer for these songs. I don't know. It's miles ahead of Emit. 

FLASH FAB REVIEW SUTAATO~!
 
TRACK JUAN: Emit. - It's a great song but after about halfway through it starts to feel like the words are being forced to the melody~. I like it though~. 4/5
 
TRACK DU: MONSTER - GREAT DANCE METAL FUSION~. It actually reminds me a lot of the stuff Yusa did in Legendary Six Nine and some earlier THE KIDDIE b-sides featuring auto-tune and screams~. What a throwback~. It's better than Emit. fo sho~. 5/5
 
Track SURII: Liner - It's pretty. Kinda catchy. Definitely not their greatest. 3.5/5
 
AND NOW THE SONG I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR FOREVER. IT'S DEFINITELY GOING TO BE GREAT.
 
Track Fo: FUNNY BUNNY - Sexy electro sounds layer until auto tuned vocals come in. OH MY GOD IT'S SO GREAT. ;O; Definitely THE KIDDIE. 500/5
 
EETZ FUNNY BUNNY OUT OF TEN OVERALL OK.

Hey all!
 
So today my band Mark Zero uploaded a new song, thought I'd share it here with you guys and see what you think

https://soundcloud.com/mark-zero/all-that-i-loved-was-the-enemy
 
It's completely self-produced and home-made
 
If you like it there's more on our soundcloud page, and that's where we'll keep posting stuff

^I think that's exactly the reason they should change a little. They've been around for 13 years, they've done well for those year and they have the ability to experiment a little with a new sound

Wow, great! I really like it. Altough I think they're quite underrated...
