This is Maiku and I have no heart. And I foresaw this. Mostly the single for the Album OMELAS. If you know anything about Ursula K. LeGuin, she wrote a short story entitled The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas. It's a story about people who choose to leave paradise. Now, in the song OMELAS by THE KIDDIE the chorus goes "So this is my policy for the world I leave," This, the song title, and the album title led me to suspect this was the last hurrah. THE KIDDIE did something different with DYSTOPIA and it definitely shows a side of them that is new. Something glimpsed in Yusa's joining of The Legendary Six-Nine. They are moving on to things different from THE KIDDIE and I wont be surprised to see new bands sprout from this disband. Especially with how skilled most of the members are. I'm excited to see what will happen. 8D

I don't think I could write a full review on Arche, maybe in the coming weeks I will; but for right now all I can really say about the album as a whole is:
 
Lots of "window dressing", questionable orchestration, Rinkaku is the best track on this album.
 
By "window dressing", I am referring to what is being called "through-composed"; but realistically amounts to nothing more than glorified bridges between repetitive sections. This album gives the illusion that it has progressive intents from the beginning with verses, bridges, and choruses rapidly being thrown at you with Un Deux; but it's only when you take a step back and realize the overall structure of individual songs that it's nothing special. A new section will appear for a measure, then lead into the next verse or chorus -- same as the previous one. This is a trend that seems to have arisen from Sustain the Untruth where these sections carry the same affect, albeit in a far more simple form and not as fully realized here. This is something notable and a breath of fresh air from the wooden structure of verse-chorus-verse. Verse-chorus-verse is still existent throughout; but its form is modified in key parts which largely prevents repetition. Oddly enough this was one of my favorite aspects of the album as it is a tiny step away from rock conventions; but at the same time it's deceptive in doing so.
 
Questionable Orchestration for a rock ensemble has been the bane (...Bane???) of Dir en grey's recent efforts. The fascination with drop tuned riffs lower on the neck has not left the band as they're dished out in spades over the course of the 14 tracks. The issue with this, is that rarely do the other instruments have room to breathe. People have been incorrectly blaming Madsen's mixing; but they couldn't be further from the truth. It is the band's lack of awareness when it comes to orchestration that is at fault. With that said, some of these heavier riffs are really cool, with only one instance of it being ruined by the lead guitar (Midwife) in the beginning.
 
Rinkaku is arguably the best track on this album with the points above kept in mind. The riff is very simple and straight forward; but it's what the band does with the material that warrants recognition. The dense opening (even with the distorted-to-shit guitars), the distinct guitar sections adding effects and clarity to the verses, the climax, and the coda are all highlights that shows a band that knows how to write very good music with distinct and evolving sections. Instead of "window dressing" bridges, we're given actual musical development.
 
No score, these are just impressions after a second listen. Maybe a score will follow in the future.

To the shining future, come with us.

Cover art looks like a decapitated pregnant woman infected with some kind of body-horror-trope brought on by nuclear radiation.

Agreed.
But I think the band put it best in their own words.
 

 
To be fair though, that's a tour I'd like to see on it's own DVD release.
But still, major tease.

samples of songs from their new album "DYSTOPIA" could be listened to in their OHP
 

So does anyone else here just love Wataru's voice in general ? I always have but lately I feel like I'm the only one lol..

You guys are getting too excited.
Don't you remember what a let down and totally ungangster SuG's track Pimp My Cars was? Not to mention SuG is just a Japanese way to say Thug. So, don't get your hopes up~. Expect visual Dir en Grey metal pop.
 
Then again. Sadie's track Black Stars was awesomely gangsta so maybe I'm wrong.

Shoot the targets in your mind ft. Snoop dogg & Ice cube

MODE OF GANGSTA
SHOOT THE TARGETS HIDDEN IN YOUR MIND
 
what

I died at MODE OF GANGSTA.

For a sec there I thought the 3rd track's title was gonna be WELCOME TO THE HOOD.

Just wait for their new look and cd covers.
expecting this :

RIZE TO THA HOOD SHOOTING THE TARGETSSS
 
Ok, I love them but that tracklist... lol
