[Wonrei 108]

Yay, they're finally back! At least their hiatus didn't take long.

[Shaolan974 6185]

Great !

Good! Hope they can keep up after Fukurou, their best song in quite a while.

[Wonrei 108]

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.

[sai 868]

Fukurou was a really nice single, hope they'll keep this up!

[Pretsy 1343]

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.

[sai 868]

I'm not too familiar with ROTTENGRAFFTY, but CAT put me onto them so I'll be giving them a listen soon

[Tokage 5930]

 

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?

[platanity 99]

sounds very good to me !

altho i really didnt like the words showing off during the video -

[Furik 832]

Needs more nu Chemical Rhetoric.

[Jigsaw9 6783]

I didn't think they could get any lower than their other post-Beautiful Freaks material but hey.

[CAT5 9075]

I'm a fan of both 9mm and MERRY (past and present) and...even I can admit that this single already sounds MEHHHHH

[miyuu 40]

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 )

[sads123 147]

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*

[sai 868]

It's not THAT bad. The chorus sounds a bit lackluster but for the rest I find it pretty ok so far.

[mopkins 42]

sounds better than gunjou, not as good as fukurou

 

mostly looking forward to the b-sides, like usual~

[nekkichi 6043]

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]

It actually sounds good until it hits the chorus. The full thing may actually be nice.

[Pretsy 1343]

Are they even trying anymore?

 

Oh well, too early to speculate about that.

[Karma’s Hat 3107]

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. 

[nekkichi 6043]

Are they even trying anymore?

not in the studio at least. 

[miyuu 40]

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

[Pretsy 1343]

^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.
