Pretsy 1343 Posted April 12, 2014 Omg this song Kaoru should take a note from his kouhais (aka Uta and Takumi). I like how there's some RES-iness in parts of "Zephyr" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShanethVarosa 1209 Posted April 12, 2014 I'm going to check this album out because I'm curious, even though I thought their (his?) first single EP thing was really atrocious, but this sounds great so far. Hopefully I will like it, not too much longer until I find out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saishuu 3220 Posted April 12, 2014 zephyr sounds amazing! I'm glad kyo realized that creating music with RES and 9GOATS members rather than with Kaoru is actually a better idea these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greatest_dane 15 Posted April 13, 2014 Insanely good. This is gonna be a hell of an album. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
relentless 254 Posted April 14, 2014 It's incredibly underwhelming except for Kyo's delivery. Kyo's vocals have not sounded this good in a while, perhaps a change in atmosphere warranted such a change? This is evidently Kyo's solo project with the music acting as a back drop to his vocals; but even the accompanying music is far more enjoyable to listen to than most recent releases.

Elazmus 1873 Posted April 14, 2014 Really looking forward to it, hadn't heard the radio rip yet I like the sound of it and I agree Kyo sounds at his best delivery-wise here, I think the inst. sounds good too from the recording quality at least, chorus sounds like it could be memorable once heard in context too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

platanity 99 Posted April 15, 2014 i just cant wait for this one . 2 weeks left ! have been replaying 'zephyr' endlessly for 4 days now . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greatest_dane 15 Posted April 16, 2014 Aaaaaaaand I'll be playing that higher quality sample of Zephyr for the next two weeks. Best melody from Kyo in quite a while imo. 1 relentless reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wicked Teletubby 528 Posted April 18, 2014 kind of liked those that are more uptempo: nine melted fiction, zephyr. this album is definitely worth giving a try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jigsaw9 6783 Posted April 18, 2014 lol, this sounds kinda awkward so far. Hoping there'll be some interesting stuff on there, not just snoozy artistic noodlings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pretsy 1343 Posted April 18, 2014 At least what I could judge from those previews, my prediction was right: Takumi and Uta thankfully enough have quite audible input in Sukekiyo's work ("Hidden One" , "Vandal" and "Hemimetabolism" for instance sounding totally like 9Goats and "Zephyr" + "Latour" being very RES-y tracks) Looking forward to this! Especially new "Mama" (ps. it's just my hunch but I bet this might become superior to DEG's new November input) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RED RUM 49 Posted April 18, 2014 I actually love the tracks a lot! tbh I like it more than anything DIR have released within the last 5 years? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tokage 5930 Posted April 18, 2014 This really IS going to be better than Dir en grey's new album. Love everything so far, though the 'hard' songs are probably the weakest of them all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wonrei 108 Posted April 18, 2014 I guess I'm getting my RES-check. The hard tracks sound pretty cool too(Vandal reminds me of how 9goats had it right with "690min" but never made another cool hard track again). And mama sounds like it's going to be so much better.

Crube 585 Posted April 20, 2014 Caved in and pre-ordered the limited edition copy. Can't wait to hear the remixes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sebbivism 134 Posted April 20, 2014 I haven't been so up-to-date with this release. I ordered the Limited Edition, but does anyone know if there will be any bonus items for this release? I poster would be nice...especially a B3 sized Limited Edition cover with Kyo in the water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wicked Teletubby 528 Posted April 21, 2014 today a song In All Weathers premiered on FM802. here's a recording. 2 Pretsy and Tokage reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tokage 5930 Posted April 21, 2014 I really like it. The chorus isn't as captivating as Zephyr's, but there's something beautiful about the way the instruments work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
