Yes! Finally!

This has to be an April Fool, surely

How I wish this were an April Fool

This is pretty disappointing. They were a bit scrappy at times, but I absolutely loved their album and was hoping for another.

Every time they announce a new single release, I forlornly hope that it means a new album is finally coming

Ooh, I'm actually quite excited about this. I liked their demos. It's a little bit "indie electronic" for my taste, but I just love his voice

OP called it... it really is a mini-album. And... it doesn't sound very good. The song's not bad, I guess, but the production is processed and compressed all to shit. The drums sound like cardboard.

As long as he's playing on the album that's good enough for me

This sounds really good. Are they still major?

I'm not at all convinced this is going to be good. I didn't like their A9 material, and while the "new" name seems to indicate a change of direction, the first single was weak. I want to be wrong, but I'm reserving judgement until I've heard the samples.

So is it an album, or a mini-album?

This isn't a "typo" and surely it's deliberate.

Amazing band name

Hope it's better than their last album

This band sounds absolutely amazing! Literally never heard of them before. Might have to pick this up. Slightly worried though that it looks like they're pulling a Rands, and selling an EP's worth of music for full album price.

Amazing! Shinpei is the shit, even though loads of people seem to hate on him for some reason. His drum performance on SuG's "dot.0" is one of the best I've ever heard in any visual kei song.

He'll never top Silk Tree

This actually sounds pretty good. Had almost forgotten about this guy. Love his voice

This is a great release, but they're stretching credibility by calling it a "full album" – it's 25 minutes long! Must be taking a leaf out of the Western hip-hop stars' playbook...

Or maybe メーデー stands for "merde", a French word for “shit”.

It couldn't be that, as "デー" represents an elongated /deɪ/ sound, as in "day", whereas the "e" at the end of "merde" is silent.

I'm no expert, but "merde" would probably be transliterated "メ—ド" or "メアド" or possibly "メルド" or possibly even "マ—ド ".

Great tune by the way

This sounds absolutely fantastic. Really got that old-skool Sadie sound. I'd forgotten how much I love his voice.

I thought these guys had disbanded years ago

I've already deleted their last album from my mind

Musically, this sounds absolutely amazing and I have no regrets whatsoever about pre-ordering it. Production-wise, however, it sounds like it was recorded in a tin can, and his vocals are very much an acquired taste...

2,420 yen for four songs?! That's a maxi-single, not a mini-album!
