    Indeed one thing that definitely grows unnerving with each listening is the completely absence of anything that resembles a bass. Don't know if it was a conscious choice, but I kinda blame Katsuya, it's the producer/engineer job to tell the band: "dudes, this is dumb"

    It's true, but the band always have the final word. They did this choice consciously


  2. Considering the musical direction they took, it's so strange the absence of Bass. It has no presence in the mix, only some kind of " sub " very low sound behind every instruments.

     

    But man.. it's so groovy, the bass need to groove their. My first reaction with the first song was : ' it feels empty '.

     

    I hope they will find at least a new bassist and come back to a more emotional side

    But guys, has Lynch ever came up with something 'different' or 'genuine', or something, not sure how to say it, 'artistic' or 'not-a-bit-touched-by-a-commercial-approach'?

     

    I actually kind of like some features of their approach to alt-metal, but let's be honest, they've been doing pretty much the fucking same since their first release, to say quickly: every western nu-metal/posthardcore cliché driven by the gothic-hypermelodic visual kei trademark that hits the choruses, alternated in the setlist with Luna Seaesque post-punky ballads. That's why I love them, and that's also why I love, don't know, ~10 or so songs by them, and definitely fucking skip the whole rest of their huge discog with zero regrets because, hey, when I say it sounds the same it's LITERAL (God knows I tried to 'find' some actual deep musicianship into it...). The situation remains so literal that lynch is to me one of the best and yet mysterious examples of bands that are formed by seemed talented people, also do pretty well in their bussiness, but paradoxically deliver low-quality releases 90% of their time.

     

    All this said to ask you why would you care much on whether this may be a cool release or not.

    So agree with this... They have " some " good songs but wow so many songs sound the same.  ( Not something we could say to a band like Mucc for example ) And yes their success is really surprising, maybe there is a good marketing behind.


  4. Yes i feel tiring too for this metalcore kind of production almost all bands have... ;/ 

    For example their song " Lament " is really a brilliant composition. But this mixing doesnt fit, it's overcompressed there are no air. I would listen to it even more if they could keep some dynamic. ( I think it's ryo trackmaker produce their songs )
