Shmilly

Absolutely gutted. I'm flying out the day AFTER their last one-man (still hoping I can do something about that). I've been a huge fan since their first single and bought everything since. I really wanted to see them live some day, but it looks like that won't be possible now. I wish them all the best, and I hope that we'll see the remaining members pursue a new project soon.

I never really listened to NB before this album, but I'm glad I gave it a try. This is an awesome album and is now on my "need-to-buy" list. Epic debut, my favourite tracks so far are PANDEMIC and Aster - the two extremes xD

Fair enough. I'm not one of those people to complain about other people's listening habits, just enjoy what you like. About the more major bands, well, that's just disgruntled fangirls. As far as the GazettE are concerned, I'm perfectly happy with their evolution. People raved about the effects on TOXIC, but if they actually took the time to listen to the whole album they would have found only two or three tracks used any autotune at all. They've always played with interesting electronic effects and vocal samples, just a lot more recently. DIVISION was slightly lacklustre for me, but still a solid release. @Whoever mentioned ALSDEAD, I think the opposite. I only started listening to them after Separator just came out, but I'm really liking that album so far.

I have to disagree with Signal, they're quickly becoming one of my favourite bands outright. You speak of Undertake like it's their last good release, but in fact they only released one single after that so far (and of course the great live-dist. Awakening impression). For me at least, their releases have been pretty consistent. MELT and GLOW BACK are stellar releases, but they can clearly still go hard and heavy (hello Apocalypse, even if Yuri's voice sounded a little strained on the higher screams). Judging by the preview for their new single though, he's back on form as one of my favourite active vocalists. As for my own opinion on bands going downhill, I'd put forward Lustknot. Their first singles really caught my attention, but recently I've lost interest. Their recent releases don't have that wow factor for me, and I might even go as far as calling them a little same-y. I'm still going to keep up with them though to see what they put out next. And on a longer time scale, my vote goes to Lycaon. Royal Order was a really great album, but then they... changed. I'm hoping this new label they've founded means they'll return to their roots a little more, the only songs I liked much in recent memory were Pierrot, ROSE and Plug into the Socket.

I agree 100% about face to face, it's the best song of the single. I also agree that Breaking the silence was awesome. That said, for the most part I've tended not to care much for Sadie's B-sides, at least since the MOR album. Rosario of course being the exception to that rule.

Feel free to add Shmilly on PSN or Steam (my Steam icon is the same as on here). I've been playing a hell of a lot of Borderlands 2 lately.

Gutted that I'm in Japan when they play London. Sure, I'll probably go see them there at some point anyway, but it's not the same as playing your home country with your friends there too. I'm surprisingly disappointed to miss it.

If they announce Versus at last I will have an instantaneous fangasm. That preview was the game I wanted forever.

Not quite. I was doing the usual checks and saw it on Closet Child, but then I also found it on Yahoo Auctions for about 800 yen less, so I got it from there xD

I do know about Puresound, it's a great site when they have them in stock! Unfortunately they don't have any of the ones I'm looking for right now, but I have linked in the OP to a couple of their pages so people can see what they look like. Thanks for the idea though.

Bump for getting one of them. If anyone can help me out with any of the others, I'd be really grateful! Especially Signal - black future and the GALEYD DVD!

How much is HEARTLESS - Unlimited World, and does it have the obi?

Thanks for the tip. I've been stalking auctions and sites like Closet Child for months, but I never thought to ask them directly. I'll give it a try.
