I think there's an extra verse before the final chorus as well.

Followers is just a big HELL YEAH; such a catchy song.

Sounds boring. Still looking forward to this though.

Just download the video from Youtube and it works fine. As for 5 seconds, I don't care. Sounds cool to me so far.

Is anyone still listening to Arche on a regular basis? For me, it's an album that has gotten better with time.

I wish they'd stop playing Hageshisa as the closer, but oh well. Minimal complaints with these sets.

Woah, where did that live come from??? Tousei is absolutely perfect live (all of the ARCHE songs actually); literally sent shivers down my spine.

I find it sick that I'm even contemplating spending $260 for this on eBay....

What's everyone thinking about the new mini? I didn't want to post a review thread because I find little enjoyment in writing detailed reviews. First listen.... I'm very underwhelmed. I'll give it a few more shots, but I can't see this as something that I'll come back to often (or at all).

I'm diggin' the melody, honestly.

Yep, thanks as always! Hopefully we'll see some of the other greats off the album for the next tour (Behind a vacant image, soshaku, kaishun, etc.).

Now that I've had a chance to familiarize myself with ARCHE, I can say I really dig these sets.

I can't remember the last time I listened to an album and ended up saying I absolutely love 11 of the songs. Un deux, Soshaku, Uroko, Phenomenon, Tousei, Rinkaku, Magayasou, Kaishun, Behind a vacant image, Kukoku, and Revelation of mankind..... Sure, the majority of the song structures are generic, but I don't care. They are melodic, catchy, emotional, and memorable. Far more than I can say about DSS, imo (which I enjoyed, and still do to this day). I'm loving this more every single time I listen to it. Easy 9/10 right now for me.

Why oh why didn't they open the album with 'and Zero'? It's frackin' beautiful, and I think it honestly sets the tone for the album. I don't like messing with the integrity of an album, honestly, but I'm tempted to throw and Zero in the front and pretend that's how it's suppose to be. lol

For me, it's become more cohesive the more I've listened to it. Or maybe it's not necessarily cohesive, but familiarity masked as cohesiveness? lol I don't know, still lovin' it though.

God damn 'Behind a Vacant Image' is excellent.

What songs are people most disappointed with? I know Phenomenon is a likely choice, but I kinda dig the progressiveness of the song. And the first verse has a 'Disabled Complexes'-type groove to it. The good is far outweighing the mediocre right now in my mind.

Three loops now. Can't... stop....

Upon second listen I'm really diggin' it. Preliminary favorites: - Un deux - Soshaku (loving the chorus) - Tousei (just beautiful melodies and guitar pieces) - Magayasou - Kaishun - Behind a Vacant Image - Revelation of Mankind On the 'like list': - Phenomenon; not as good as I was hoping, but still enjoying it. - Kukoku... - And honestly everything else is decent to meh. Some fillers were expected for such a long album. But I'm really liking the flow of the album the second time around (especially the first 8-10 songs).

What's everyone thinking about this so far? Album feels a little monotone after first listen. Can't really distinguish which parts I like and what I don't yet. I love the first 4 or so songs though. Album starts very strong in my opinion.

C'mon upload! I need this before heading to class. lol

Well it's now the day before release in Japan, so not sure anything would qualify as a "leak" now. lol Regardless, hoping this pops up today!

Dang I love that. Absolutely cannot wait... Too bad my week is already ruined by a multivariable calculus final though

One can hope, right? I think I can wait a week though...lol
