ottsuga 41 Posted July 16, 2012 YES! I am really anxious to this release! Matenrou opera is my favorite band active. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShanethVarosa 1209 Posted July 16, 2012 Wait, wasn't there a topic for this already? Anyway, what I posted there was of course I'm excited because they're one of my favorite active bands, but I think it's coming too soon after Justice... Maybe it's just me, but I haven't even gotten to really know Justice yet. Obviously, I'll be cautiously optimistic until further information is available. I hope it's memorable.

I don't know about too soon, didn't JUSTICE come out about 5-6 months ago? and this still has another 3 months before it's released so I don't feel it's soon, either way, I am super excited about this!! I just hope that we get better B-sides than Helios Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wonrei 108 Posted July 16, 2012 Haha, I love how their track titles are always THAT cheesy They are still damn fine though. I'm waiting for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ottsuga 41 Posted July 17, 2012 i think king records is a label that makes very release, example Lynch. that release two albums and one single in less than two years . I am not surprised this release in a short time. Sorry my bad english Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just hope that we get better B-sides than Helios I think the general implication is that since they're already releasing singles they're working on a new album, since that's how it goes 70% of the time. Judging by the amount of singles between Anomie and Justice, I can't make any conjectures about what Matenrou plans on doing. I'm tentative about this single because I really didn't like Justice but I'll wait for some previews. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kuroihotaru 0 Posted July 19, 2012 Excited! But I hope this singles sounds better than Justice album Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sai 868 Posted July 23, 2012 I'm guessing the first one will have some Justice leftovers, which I'm not overly fond of. Justice itself tried to be too "epic" and had too much Ayame. I hope they're going to tone down on the synth as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DKghynger 23 Posted July 23, 2012 New single! that emotion and as say, hopefully an improvement in this maxi single <___ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fitear1590 2414 Posted July 23, 2012 Justice itself tried to be too "epic" and had too much Ayame. Dear god, someone else thinks this too? I really believe Ayame's style of playing (obvious cheap string sounds that don't mask the fact that they're being played on a keyboard) is a detriment to the band. That and the fact that Sono sounds squeaky and overuses the shit out of VK-vibrato. They surprise me every once in a while though, so hopefully these releases will be more hit, less miss.

Yes, but not on an initial listen. I gave Justice a spin and found it to be quite decent, but when I went to replay it I turned it off halfway because I wanted to brickstone Ayame so badly with his godawful synth. You're major, get some decent equipment. Sono I got quite used to, but on some tracks he does sound a bit...overly present. I actually think the last release of them I really liked was Abyss, so I hope they'll be making another mini as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ottsuga 41 Posted August 10, 2012 This preview does not cheer me = / I really like Matenrou opera, I'm anxious to hear this single Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chemicalpictures 1888 Posted August 10, 2012 Man, I'm the only one thinking that this preview sound waaaaay too similar to Rhapsody's Emerald Sword's chorus? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaye 296 Posted August 10, 2012 It seems I'll be forever stuck to Anomie. I don't really like the direction they've been heading but I hope the singles prove me wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShanethVarosa 1209 Posted August 10, 2012 Hmm. I seem to like it a lot! Judging just from this I would say not better than otoshiana but still pretty solid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scarlet Obsidian 383 Posted August 10, 2012 Mmh...it sounds cool,but I need to listen more of it before giving my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wonrei 108 Posted August 10, 2012 I love it, even if it sounds a lot like a mix of some Rhapsody with the symphonic-ness of X Japan. I do prefer when the VK bands sound this way, at least it's different from your typical vk melodies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaolan974 6185 Posted August 10, 2012 This is clearly better than theses pop/rock/électro band or a basic metal band. Matenrou Opera is a bit special, they try different things in their music and this is a good point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Augie1995 325 Posted August 10, 2012 Hmm, I love Matenrou Opera but I hate choir stuff and this song is seriously the closest thing they have made to me to be similar to having a choir like thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jon_jonz 885 Posted August 10, 2012 Man, I'm the only one thinking that this preview sound waaaaay too similar to Rhapsody's Emerald Sword's chorus? Hahahaha. Exactly ! This shit is so lame. Sounds like those crappy symphonic metal bands from the early 00's, like Versailles did. This band was good when they were making VK-like songs. NOt his generic metal shit.
