  1. Shortest: 4 ish days

    Longest: 9 Years

    Current: 9 years ^

     

     

    However,  over these years we've both changed alot and our perspectives and outlooks on life are drastically different that they were when we first met.  I'm probably going to be ending this relationship in the next week, I've been meaning to for nearly a month now but I haven't had the heart. However, things are just down the drain.  


  2. Thank everyone for your insightful posts, I will most definitely be checking out every album mentioned, probably in chronological order of albums mentioned, and some lives.  It's been an extremely long time since I've heard them, it's not that I stopped liking them, it's just that around 2006 there was alot of other music I was interested in. (Almost too much), I will definitely be catching up on DeG. Especially interested in The Marrow of a Bone, various lives, Arche, and Uroboros.  Again, I appreciate the insightful posts.

     

    edit: Also @orange~The reason I became interested again is because of when you played 3rd Empire earlier in dubtrack, brought back alot of memories.


  3. Unless I'm missing something, this is just the link to the downloads forum, which I am well aware of. What I was more specifically getting at is can anyone tell me their favorite albums that came out after Withering to Death?  10 years is a long time to drop away from a band, I want to hear what others favorite albums are, which I will then obtain and listen to.  Thanks for the response though!


  4. Decided to give Graveward another spin today, it's been awhile since I heard it. The album sends shivers down my spine, it's a masterpiece.  I think Oshima is an extremely good fit to the band. Probably the absolute best guy they could pick up. (Still bummed about Shinichi though).

     

    I thought Imaginary Sonicscape would forever be my favorite SIGH album, but I'm beginning to second guess myself.

     

    Edit: Upon listening more to the Graveward album today, from the before mentioned posts, I don't really feel like Oshima is struggling with his guitar solos or anything. It sounds a bit raw, but that's what I expect from Sigh.  I really really think he nailed it on their song The Tombfiller, it's absolutely excellent. 

     


  5. I have actually been meaning to get back into Dir en Grey, the last album I heard though was Withering to Death when it was released. Could someone point me in the right direction? I don't know where to start.


  6. I think this is a great topic, so I'm gonna bump it back up.

     

    My tastes have been changing over the years, but my core must listen to albums have remained consistently the same over time.  Just a list, no explanation (listen to the music for yourself ;) ) and only full albums.

     

    Top Ten list:

     

    10. L'arc en Ciel - Tierra

    9. Sigh - Imaginary Sonicscape

    8. Malice Mizer - Merveilles

    7. X-Japan - Vanishing Vision

    6. Gilles de Rais - Satsui

    5. Flower Travellin' Band - Satori

    4. Yellow Magic Orchestra - Solid State Survivor

    3. Zazen Boys - Zazen Boys IV

    2. Luna Sea - Mother

    1. Dead End - Ghost of Romance

     

     

    Of course this all only my opinion. 

     

    Edit: honourable mentions go to the bands LOUDNESS, D'erlanger, Kuroyume, DIE IN CRIES, and Guniw Tools.

    Laruku's album Tierra was only recently brought to my attention. I can't stop listening to it.

    I've been meaning to check out some of Kitano's movies, but I don't know where to start..

     

    I recommend the gangster flick Sonatine.  It's not action heavy, but it is quite interesting and funny.


  8. Reviving this thread.

     

    Band: Dead End

    Song: Beyond the Reincarnation

     

    Dead End has alot of great songs, but over the years this one has really stood out to me.  Compared to Dead End's other songs, this is in the middle of the spectrum between soft and heavy.  The song has an especially nice bass line that sends shivers down my spine.  The lyrics themselves are very nice too, I think Morrie really poured his heart into this one.  To me the song screams loneliness and desolation.  As the song progresses there's quite a nice solo that is very slick, and it's not too fast or slow. I personally think it's the perfect cadence and length and it seams perfectly back into the main chorus of the song.  All in all, I think it is an extremely well thought out song, all the pieces fit together, and it conveys it's message very well.  Truly a masterpiece, I think I will be coming back to it for my entire life.  I especially love to listen to it while I'm walking alone at night, it's like my night time pub crawling theme. ;)
