When I hear "jazz in VK" I instantly think of Merry (though I consider them more bluesy than jazzy). Songs like... HbuscyL7cKE fkGGtlxQVuA

Yellowbrickroad Meh, it was kinda okay till the ending.

I didn't know his music, but may he rest in peace.

Cool! The mini album wasn't my favorite thing ever, but looking forward to this.

Listening to the mini non-stop, it's actually a bit better than I expected. I already loved I'm the Best and Don't Stop the Music. Never really cared for Lonely or Don't Cry. Didn't really like Hate You first, but now it's kinda growing on me. Ugly seemed okay, now I really like it! Reminds me of Go Away. Overall, it didn't top the album for me, but it's almost on par with their 1st mini. Nice one.

New MV: _vk0Nm8o-IY I don't think it'll be my favorite anytime soon, but at least I like it tons better than HATE YOU. (sorry for the double post, my previous one sometimes shows up, sometimes it doesn't xD)

Finally got around to listening to this! About the new songs: FABLE IN THE COLD BED is awesome, and VORTICAL [E]MOTION is growing on me too. At first it felt kinda weird at certain parts but I can't resist shouting backing vocals. xD About the old songs: well, nothing amazing here, though I must admit that I like this new version of nightmare a bit better than the original. However, BORN doesn't feel as powerful as it should, it's pretty weak actually (but not bad). I didn't care much for the other songs anyway, so no comments there, kinda average. Good returning single! I can't wait now for their new stuff at the end of the year.

[whoops, something went wrong here]

An interesting bit from the band's twitter:

I don't know if they're working on something new at the moment but: Season of Mist signed Thy Catafalque! I hope this means some re-releases!

I like the preview.

Awesome news!! Can't wait for another album from these guys.

Hmm, interesting. I hope it's better than their recent ones (though I still have hope for Vior gloire).

Cool cover!

Terrible news. He had such a great voice. Eventhough Kagrra, is disbanded and I wasn't really following his new solo project, I will miss him. May he rest in peace.

Well, since tracks 2, 4 and 5 are originally Hora solo songs, that's the case. Here's my two cents: - the intro is pretty good, almost has that old Schwarz Stein feel - PREDICT isn't anything outstanding but it's okay - again, almost that SS atmosphere (but upgraded) in Hypnos...nice! - GENUINE: cool beat and nice melody. My favorite so far. - SIRIUS is a good closer, though I don't really feel attached to it. It's a nice release. I didn't expect it to have that old-school SS sound, since that was years ago, and both of them have been pretty active musically over the years (even sometimes with each other, on Kaya's releases). Still, it's a good gift to the fans I guess.

New kickass song/PV: uGlyriuqXHU

Calvaire (The Ordeal) Pretty weird. Not bad, but not as good as I expected it to be.

Album recording video on YT: lB_z7S3HTdY LOL there's a small kids' choir too.

shuuji-: thanks a lot for the link! AMON sounds pretty cool, can't wait to hear the rest of the album!! ^^ *pre-ordered already*

From J-Glam's myspace:

^ I think it's unlikely, given that the bonus DVDs don't have any new PV.

I don't know if this is already common knowledge or not, but in the Music Videos section of the official site, you can now watch these previously unreleased music vids (you have to scroll down in page 2 for the second two vids): - Arma-goddamn-... (Director's Cut) - Apple of Sodom - Antichrist Superstar Pretty neat.

If I understood it well, you can pre-listen to the new album HERE on USTREAM, on July 24th, 22:00 (Japanese time). It asks for a password now because the fanclub members' pre-listening is earlier (July 22nd), it's for them. (source)

Interesting! I guess it must be easier for YG to release stuff in Japan in this way...
