LUNA SEA new album "A WILL" release

[Jigsaw9 6783]

LUNA SEA will release their new album titled "A WILL" and... not much else is known at the moment, besides these taken from SUGIZO's twitter:

 

 

Yeah! LUNA SEA's album after so long time has been completed!! A title is "A WILL".

 

 

All the best attitude of rock band we believe is in this new album. The craziest work I'm confident in. The happiest senses.

 

 

Please wait until December, everyone. You can count on it!!!   SGZ

 

Other members have also mentioned it on Twitter but only SUGIZO in English, as far as I know (oh wait, J and INORAN tweeted it in English as well). Not sure if December means the time of release or when we get to know more info (but I'm leaning towards the latter). Anyway, yay!

I thought they had forgotten about Maria... I really liked it, nice to see it getting a studio version.

 

So, 6 new songs + SE?

[Jigsaw9 6783]

^ Is the first one really an SE? But yeah, that would be the lowdown basically.

[hyura 465]

;o; Now I just have to decide on whether to give this to myself for my birthday or christmas.

[Wonrei 108]

^ Is the first one really an SE? But yeah, that would be the lowdown basically.

well I remember someone telling me they've used a new SE on shows if I remember well and Anthem of Light sounds like an SE title

[Jigsaw9 6783]

Ah yes, could be! They just never striked me as that "SEs on albums" kind of band (save for IMAGE I guess?).

[Wonrei 108]

Yeah, neither did I, but everyone seems to jump the SE bandwagon these days... I'd love if they were actual 7 songs, though

[Peace Heavy mk II 7200]

"Jesus ? Maria ?? Next song : joseph !!"

 

I love youtube.

 

 

The song Wonrei posted sounded nice. I guess I should actually get around to trying Luna Sea for more than just "Anubis" and "Rosier" one day.

i am way too excited for this.

 

also isnt their only se basically call for love from image? im not sure one should take for granted that anthem of light is an s-e-. as a matter of fact i think the opposite but who knows

[Jigsaw9 6783]

Track lengths:

 

01.Anthem of Light　04:15

02.Rouge　04:30

03.The End of the Dream　03:59

04.MARIA　05:27

05.Glowing　04:26

06.乱　04:28

07.absorb　06:17

08.METAMORPHOSIS　05:46

09.銀ノ月　05:31

10.Thoughts　04:04

11.Grace　05:11

 

So the album will be almost exactly 54 mins in total.

[Wonrei 108]

Yay for Anthem of Light being an actual song! Happy

[sugibo 403]

so this album won't have long songs like VIRGIN MARY or MOTHER or GENESIS OF MIND

[Jigsaw9 6783]

Radio rip of the song "Glowing"

 

 

Sexxyy~

[Wonrei 108]

Holyyyyyyyy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

[Ro plz 1290]

I must be the minority in this but as far as their music goes, I've never been that impressed by it. Seems like they're on the same level as X-Japan as being too over hyped as the pioneers of J-Rock. Should I even bother with them or have I just been listening to the wrong stuff?

Won't actually say that they are "overhyped in vain" -  considering that their influence catered the vk scene much more than X did (yeah,not "JAYRAWK" here, bro)

 

Depends on what kind of albums you've listened to anyway. If you want a better taste of what LS really is - go with 4 first albums.

 

Back to the topic - "Glowing" isn't anything spectacular, hm.

[clow_eriol 240]

Woo sounds great Glowing, I'm really looking forward this!

[nitta 175]

I like Glowing

[hyura 465]

Glowing is a beautiful classic Luna Sea song  I think. I wasn't really amazed when I listened to it for the first time, but I had to keep replaying it today and it really grew on me.

I'm looking forward to the album even more now.

[Takadanobabaalien 3607]

Glowing is great :v also they will have some sort of event at tower records in shibuya

[saishuu 3220]

Holy shit, Glowing IS SO FUCKING GOOD.
