relentless 254 Posted August 22, 2013 I'm happy about this, but DEG comparison...I I agree with Augie....maybe a little bit here and there, but honestly I can totally tell a Dir en Grey song from a Sadie one very easily. The hate does not come from the music sounding identical (aside from select cases); but it's the fact that Mao has drawn soo many influences from Kyo that it's hard for someone not to notice it. People go wayy too overboard with the comparisons (calling Sadie a Copy and Paste band, etc.); but it's not coming out of nowhere. From technique (sudden switch to gutturals and attempts at "inward screams") to the report propagated on this very site (long time ago) that Kyo had a hand in Mao's vocal lessons. It's less the music and more based on the influence Kyo has had on Mao. I will agree wholeheartedly that it's getting annoying because people bring it up as a way to DISCREDIT the band. Regardless of how GOOD this album will be, I'm excited nonetheless because Sadie is a band that intrigues me even if I gravely dislike most of their discography. 2 Licio123 and Augie1995 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jduv86 224 Posted September 13, 2013 let's just hope the songs are on par with the titles... but I am curious seeing how there is only two old songs on here (3 if you count the unplugged face to face). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prophet 168 Posted September 14, 2013 I am so hella excited for this, tbh their last album THE BLACK DIAMONDS was simply amazing (yeah not as good as COLD BLOOD) but still, it was comprised of tracks ranged from decent to amazing. Their last single (which I forgot the name xD) was pretty much solid too. So, Dir en grey-ish or not, I couldnt care less, as long as they rocks, that's all that matters.

Eraser 66 Posted September 14, 2013 Seems kinda pointless to put both single tracks at the end of the album, but let's see how it will turn out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seimeisen 4406 Posted September 14, 2013 I wasn't too fond of "face to face," but I'm curious to hear the unplugged version. And 雪月花 being the penultimate track? IMO, it doesn't really sound like a near-the-end-of-the-album kind of song... Can't wait to hear the new songs, though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShanethVarosa 1209 Posted September 15, 2013 That is actually a cool tracklist. I hope this album has some outstanding tracks. I need some really good Sadie in my life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShanethVarosa 1209 Posted October 3, 2013 Definitely sounds alright. Idk if from that I can tell if I like it, but it certainly isn't bad. Just kinda... Basic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seimeisen 4406 Posted October 3, 2013 My god, it's like a mixture of 斑, face to face, and maybe a little bit of アヲイ's bastard...... and I'm actually liking it so far.Artwork Time: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheBistroButcher666 228 Posted October 4, 2013 The gritty effects in the PV are cheap and stupid looking. The album artwork looks like someone just learned how to import brushes into photoshop and downloaded a pack from DeviantArt full of all the film grain and blood splatter they could find. 1 Wonrei reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
