General DIR EN GREY new album and DVD release

[Crube 585]

Come on, man. It's got to be a picture of Mankind, not Mick Foley. That'd be like putting Dude Love on there, or Cactus Jack.

Well yeah, but I didn't expect a lot of wrestling fans here.

[Elazmus 1873]

Neither do I most of the time but they always seem crawl out of the woodwork on the internet when something is mentioned XD

[DogManX 179]

Lol anybody noticed that "dubstep" in Midwife?

[nekkichi 6042]

Why oh why didn't they open the album with 'and Zero'?

I'm really not sure tbh. they made some really puzzling decisions about an overall amazing album (like... inferno should have been a sukekiyo live-distributed vinyl or something, if they were so keen on releasing it at all), and both DSS and uroboros had instrumental intros so like why

you do realize you do not have to respond to everything you stumble upon, right?

you do realize I've responded to your comparison because of its extraordinary obtuseness, right?

[Replicant 133]

Fixed. Because it made me laugh.

 

(To keep on topic, I might have to buy this album soonish...)

Clearly this is the deluxe version. Anyway, I did not notice the "dubstep" in Midwife until DMX pointed it out.

you are so unnecessary. you can't even imagine.

don't bother responding. this is so obtuse you can even pass it by.

[Furik 832]

I'm loving ARCHE a lot more than I was expecting. It's holding me over until new sukekiyo tbh.

 

Also lol @ dubstep in Midwife.

[DogManX 179]

@ Wicked Teletubby

 

If you accuse Deg of recycling their own material, you should at least be able to present more than this comparison. This is an open discussion, so I'd say you keep that in mind for comments you don't want to get reactions from.

[Pretsy 1343]

WT, contain your drama queendom pls (oops)

 

I don't get your "dubstep" claims @ Midwife, guys - did you mean that breakdown hook with muted strumming mixed in?

[relentless 254]

Fixed. Because it made me laugh.

 

(To keep on topic, I might have to buy this album soonish...)

May I have your permission to make this my new display picture?

[DogManX 179]

@Perez Yes exactly

[Crube 585]

Exactly. I'm just not technical enough to label what I was hearing. That's why I put wubdub in quotation marks the first time around. Anyway, everyone is better off putting and Zero as the first track on the main disc, it really does set the whole mood for the album.

[Replicant 133]

Go for it!

[Trombe 22025]

[WhirlingBlack 1043]

If you add "and Zero" as the first track and "てふてふ" as the last, the album makes a lot more sense.

[Pretsy 1343]

Classykyo is at it again

Kaoru dominating that songwriting (He should be ashamed for writing "The Inferno" though)

[Jigsaw9 6783]

^ Yay, thanks for the info!

 

Also, question for anyone who already got their copy: does the booklet contain English translations of the lyrics as well (like DSS)?

[Wonrei 108]

Tousei does remind me of that "solo die song" he streamed once. Very interesting

[Crube 585]

If you add "and Zero" as the first track and "てふてふ" as the last, the album makes a lot more sense.

I tacked てふてふ before The inferno. So that it would fit the pattern of two songs in romaji and two songs in kanji.

Kaoru dominating that songwriting (He should be ashamed for writing "The Inferno" though)

I figured as such since Kaoru probably drew influences from Slayer on The inferno. Maybe.

5. Cause of Fickleness - Shinya

omg slay flawless queen, I loved this track & hope the weird vocal is also the visionary inspirational weave goddesses idea <3

[Seimeisen 4406]

The album is now available on every* iTunes store: https://itunes.apple.com/album/arche/id949456290

*except Japan lol

[Ro plz 1290]

you are so unnecessary. you can't even imagine.

I'm so happy that i'm not the only one who realizes this....

 

As for the song compositions, I thought UROKO was a Dir en grey composed track because it dead ass sounds like the product of a great jam session.

friendly reminder that both of you can jerk each other off by accessing this hyperlink http://www.reddit.com/r/DEG/ keeping MH clean of your whining

[Ro plz 1290]

Its not whining. Its fact. Some of your posts are extremely unnecessary and asshole-ish. Maybe the mods and everyone turn a blind eye to it but stop tryna brush it off as what we're saying isn't true. Grow up.
