Pretsy 1343 Posted June 20, 2014 Is it me or does mixing/mastering in this DVD (at least based on this preview) suck more than one in Uroboros' Nippon Budokan dvd? (Okay, the bass is more *audible* here but ewww, guitars and drum sounds) Oh well, I am here only for those *special setlist songs* (Aoi Tsuki etc.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
finnthesubhuman 26 Posted June 21, 2014 After hearing them butcher it over and over, I've decided Different Sense is definitely NOT a good live song. I'm pretty sure Shinya was all "OKAY I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO PLAY THIS FILL NTYREAYAARERATRGH that should do it" 4 one-eyed waiter, Pretsy, Jigsaw9 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
platanity 99 Posted June 21, 2014 This band releases more documentaries than actual music, WTF ? i would actually love to see more of documentaries than live footages . you could see them live , but behind it , that's something almost impossible to experience .

relentless 254 Posted June 30, 2014 When Dir en grey first started touring in support of DSS, I felt like the sound on the record did not transfer well into live performances (the first set of festival performances for the album seemed to prove this). The "DSS sound" had such a strong emphasis on bass that on CD and under the right production, it was pretty cool; but these problems are still plaguing the band. Whatever it is they're going for, it can be extremely hit-or-miss. This could be what people are referring to when they speak of the bad production in these previews, and I would have to agree. After listening to Decayed Crow, it leaves me baffled as to why they would continue to push this sound when it has sounded like a mess from the start.

Furik 832 Posted July 3, 2014 Some of those crossovers and symphony vers sound very intriguing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nekkichi 6043 Posted July 3, 2014 I hope this becomes a fad v. soon because I need a grieva symphonic album w. cheap ass synth rearrangements of their dir en grey ~inspired~ era material, but hageshisato sample sounds painful 1 one-eyed waiter reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretsy 1343 Posted July 3, 2014 I kinda like those reconstructions (DS and Juuyoku) + Vanitas' Los Awkis ver. WTF is with Dreambox being a lounge song though, haha And now, speaking as a Narasaki-following weeb: did he just hire a power electronics-guy (AXONOX) to do the most of that DC remix arrangement? Oh my... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ghost 2687 Posted July 4, 2014 Does it really count as a symphonic version if you just add strings on top of the original mix? That idea was always so silly. Lotus and Diabolos actually sound symphonic though ?.? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DogManX 179 Posted July 4, 2014 I'm not so much into remixes, but some of them sound pretty fine (NOT the symphonic overlays). Love the idea having downy remixing Shitataru.# They should really stop with that symphonic thing. They're not Dimmu Borgir (not even Matenrou or Versailles, urgh).. and I'm getting more and more worried about the upcoming album.... 1 nullmoon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nullmoon 784 Posted July 4, 2014 In general I think all of Diru's remixes are god awful. The only ones that aren't a horrendous mess are the acoustic versions of their songs. 1 NICKT reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elazmus 1873 Posted July 4, 2014 I'm a fan of Diru remixes, even (kind of especially) lounge sounding ones XD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeus 7997 Posted July 8, 2014 I wish they would go back to the policy they had during The Code of Vulgar[ism]. Back then, some of the new material would be played live alongside the current material. Now Diru is content to stick with their staples and their 2 to 3 different interpretations of said song. I would love to know what the upcoming album is supposed to sound like and if there were some new tracks on this Live DVD it would make it a worthy buy. 1 Ro plz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ro plz 1290 Posted July 9, 2014 Lets see here...Kaoru said that the Unraveling is just a new song and its not likely it'll be on the new album. This means the only singles so far are RINKAKU and STU. Makes me believe that there is going to be yet another single in the near future before November. The gap from STU till then is way to wide not to have one. As for this DVD, I like what I'm seeing so far. However, I really wish after this, Die seriously needs to consider fine tuning the sound on his 7 strings. I don't know if its the pickups or his rig but consistently since they started playing after DSS was released, he sticks out like a sore thumb and its terrible. Its sounds like he's playing with an expensive toy ESP guitar. The remixes and stuff, don't bother and such. I was actually wondering when they would drop the actual symphonic version's of the said tracks. Seems as if they planned things out rather clever in regards to when and how they were released. 1 nullmoon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
