Wonrei 108 Posted August 28, 2013 The guys from ROTTENGRAFFTY? That's awesome. Love seeing MERRY interact with other bands, specially the ones that aren't part of the vk scene. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sai 868 Posted August 28, 2013 Fukurou was a really nice single, hope they'll keep this up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pretsy 1343 Posted August 28, 2013 Fukurou was a really nice single, hope they'll keep this up! Yup Looking forward to this too off-topic: Tsumi sounded a lot like Rottengraffty song though, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sai 868 Posted August 28, 2013 I'm not too familiar with ROTTENGRAFFTY, but CAT put me onto them so I'll be giving them a listen soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tokage 5930 Posted October 10, 2013 Here's a PV promo for the new single. They've actually stooped to the 'band playing in empty void' level now. Whelp. Guess they blew all their budget on making their previous one look good Song once again sounds like it's a stolen demo of a 9mm Parabellum Bullet track to me...what the fuck happened to the actual MERRY? 1 CAT5 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
platanity 99 Posted October 10, 2013 sounds very good to me ! altho i really didnt like the words showing off during the video - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jigsaw9 6783 Posted October 10, 2013 I didn't think they could get any lower than their other post-Beautiful Freaks material but hey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CAT5 9075 Posted October 10, 2013 I'm a fan of both 9mm and MERRY (past and present) and...even I can admit that this single already sounds MEHHHHH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miyuu 40 Posted October 10, 2013 but i like new merry. i like old merry too. ( i am one of the people who has no problem at all with their "new direction" ? that people are talking about.) i don't like this gara styling though . (and i hate new mucc ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sads123 147 Posted October 10, 2013 As a long time fan who has been supporting them since they formed, bought all their DVDs (including fan club limited ones) & flew to Japan to watch 5 out of 6 of their album themed 10th Anniversary concerts, this new song is a disappointment after the awesomeness that is 梟 and definitely not the direction that I want to see them pursue. But it is their band after all *shrugs* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sai 868 Posted October 10, 2013 It's not THAT bad. The chorus sounds a bit lackluster but for the rest I find it pretty ok so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mopkins 42 Posted October 10, 2013 sounds better than gunjou, not as good as fukurou mostly looking forward to the b-sides, like usual~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nekkichi 6043 Posted October 10, 2013 I find it quite catchy, and so far it sounds better than a lot of tracks on their latest album, and one before that (and one before) cheap ass crap video, though. d. tommy thinks bands sell themselves w/o any marketing effort, well that never worked with rentrer en soi, the studs and 12012.

saishuu 3220 Posted October 10, 2013 It actually sounds good until it hits the chorus. The full thing may actually be nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pretsy 1343 Posted October 10, 2013 Are they even trying anymore? Oh well, too early to speculate about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karma’s Hat 3107 Posted October 11, 2013 Are they even trying anymore? Oh well, too early to speculate about that. Ugh for real. I find the comparison to regular ol' hairspray free jap indie rock very apt too, with the lame PV just enforcing the blandness overall. It's not bad per say ( I don't think Merry ever is ), it's just not much of anything really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nekkichi 6043 Posted October 11, 2013 Are they even trying anymore? not in the studio at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miyuu 40 Posted October 11, 2013 U It's not bad per say ( I don't think Merry ever is ), it's just not much of anything really. random but i was thinking since for ever,from all the bands like lynch,mucc,girugamesh etc etc etc that people say are disappointed. merry is the only one i don't have a problem with. i still like them. with all the others to be honest i am disappointed. merry and deg i am ok with. (deg change upset me at the beggining but i end up loving it) eh what is going on these years .. seems like rarely you hear anymore content from people Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pretsy 1343 Posted October 11, 2013 ^What. Also, I don't hate Merry either - and I can't find any reason to (unless you are very,very,veeeery sensitive about ""chaotic"" vocals/instrumentation) Since we have 4 good albums from the past to "digest", to begin with. // personal views.
