Previews of their 2nd album could be listening through niconico

Wail of crest, Auora, Oath, and Cynthia is on the album, that's sure~ ^-^

Could someone post the video with the previews here or could, any of you who saw it, tell me if it's sounding more like their latest singles or their initial stuff, up until the first album?

Thanks.

This. I have no idea how to use that website.

A rip of the sampler CD is up at the weloveucp.com blog if that helps

Thanks inartistic, I'll check it out when I get home from work.

I've been waiting for these samples so I can decide if I order it with the Kiryu album or not.

I don't like their last releases (Myth and Cynthia), but I liked the mini album and AURORA. The early stuff up until the first album is really what I love about them and, since they've been going on an Versailles direction, I'm kinda afraid to waste money on a record I won't like.

[ShanethVarosa 1209]

Inartistic: I can't find it on that website, but it's a really cool and informative website. I like it a lot.

Darkside: I think their change in music hasn't been for the better, I also like their earliest work as opposed to their newest songs. Don't know why, but there isn't anything special about them. It's all synthy-synthy-synthy and really just unimaginative. Metis Gretel was far better. I'm only going to check this out because I still really enjoy Sui's voice. But I don't see how they've gone in a Versailles direction at all. They're not doing anything near symphonic metal, just sort of... Synthetic metal. Versailles > Megaromania.

Sorry, i forgot to mention, if you'd like to listen the previews, you need to be a registered account on niconico (it's only take a few minute, and the registration site is full english, so it isn't hard to understeand~)

I think this isn't will be "epic" as Aurora, rather it's sounds like their latest realeses (with melodic, soft songs).

Ehhh... I would really like to see at least ONE darker song on here. We'll see... It's in less than a week. Is there even a finalized tracklist yet?

I understand what you mean, to me it all sounds so plastic that the first thing that comes to my mind is Versailles. Maybe it isn't an accurate comparison, but I really don't know how their sound is now, I haven't listened to anything Versailles release for, at the very least, one year and a half. When I stopped listening to them, they were making stuff that I now associate with Megaromania's current sound. Plastic.

Everything else, I think you're spot on. I'll guess I'll see how the record sounds when I get home.

I went to check out weloveucp, and I believe you have to be registered to hear it. Maybe someone from the fan club can confirm.

EDIT: Well, if it's sounding like Myth and Cynthia, which are the ones I don't like, I guess Kiryu are coming home alone.

I'll agree that Versailles took a trip with Holy Grail and the preceding singles, but I think you should check out Rhapsody of the Darkness when it comes out. It's super good, trust me!

Anyway, this isn't about Versailles. I'd honestly just get Kiryuu's at this point. If you didn't like their recent singles, I doubt you'll like the album.

But if Mega offered a poster of the cover art for this album I'd buy it XD

And that's probably what I'm going to do. And if you feel so strongly about Versailles next record, I'll check it when it comes out.

Off to hear the preview.

For anyone who still wants to download a rip of the sampler CD, here's the link to the entry, and you can register here.

(Or obviously you could just watch it at niconico, but I have to hustle where I can!)

Silvery Divorce is what happens when you have a good prenup.

[ShanethVarosa 1209]

I guess I was still drunk when I wrote that comment. Totally missed Silvery Divorce.

What the hell kind of a name...
