Licio123 181 Posted October 4, 2013 Nothing special, but it's nice. I kinda like the first cover too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sebbivism 134 Posted October 5, 2013 I agree with Arithmetica regarding the Photoshop brushes, the cover artworks are really amateur. They would look better if the brushes were excluded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seimeisen 4406 Posted October 5, 2013 I am a Photoshop amateur and even I could have done a better job with those covers. If I had access to the original PSD file, here's what I would do: - cut down on spatter brush layers (or deleted them all) - tone down the texture opacity (subtlety is more professional, IMO) - reduce saturation of yellows/greens; increase saturation of reds - (for the limited edition) cut down on the paper tear layers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it's as amateur as you all say, they probably compressed it all into one layer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ghost 2687 Posted October 18, 2013 I'm just not loving the direction they're taking with their music. With songs like "The Requiem" and "madara", It sounds like they're trying to hard too be hardcore or whatever with heavy chugging, gurgling, growling, fast beats, 'intense' melodies, etc. It's too "in your face" for my taste. They've proved they can be dark yet sophisticated with releases like "Gain", "The Trend Killer", heck even "Cold Blood", allowing the listener to feel the tones of their despair, sadness, or whatever they're intending, instead of being bombarded by it.

Peace Heavy mk II 7200 Posted October 18, 2013 Is the girl in the video the same girl from 12012's hurgleblurgle-fest pv? The only other Sadie song I've heard is the one with the weird snake lady that comes out of a crucified Mao's mouth (2deep4u), but come on. How can people who heartedly believe that there is 0 diru influence in this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nekkichi 6043 Posted October 18, 2013 How can people who heartedly believe that there is 0 diru influence in this? I'm still debating internally if they're being delusional & thus not seeing the apparent deg exploiting, or we're blessed to see a new wave of flawless MH trolls emerging from the dark sadie fandom waters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
finnthesubhuman 26 Posted October 19, 2013 I didn't realise bootleggers re-recorded albums to get around copyright now. A unique idea to take the last three Dir en grey albums and bootleg them all at once, though, I suppose. (As a side note, at least this album is more interesting than the last few.)
