VkBrutaliaN 1890 Posted April 22, 2015 I looked and didn't find shit. What previews? strange.... if i type in the bands name i can find easily the previews of all their new songs... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
atsudahiru 35 Posted April 22, 2015 idk. I watched the PV with Biopanda... and... It was so unsatisfying. Not to mention Ice has reverted back to terrible screaming vocals. This is really cookie cutter music and bad vocals. I feel cheated tbh. Sorry but, If it was Dir en Grey nobody would ever complain about terrible screaming vocals. In my opinion they've improved a lot. It's a band that is still worthy to follow! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
togz 2004 Posted April 22, 2015 Sorry but, If it was Dir en Grey nobody would ever complain about terrible screaming vocals. In my opinion they've improved a lot. It's a band that is still worthy to follow! I never said Dir en grey sounded great either. And anyone who thinks I would say that or should say that, FAIT ME. Granted, regardless what kyo spews out of his god hole, their actual song structure and composure is on another level than this musically. So that argument is invalid. Because at least they have original guitar work. But in all honesty. As ender-ender said earlier in this post, they just got real basic real fast. 3 doombox, lollipopmonstar and DOGharu reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

doombox 4421 Posted April 22, 2015 Sorry but, If it was Dir en Grey nobody would ever complain about terrible screaming vocals. In my opinion they've improved a lot. It's a band that is still worthy to follow! Someone obvs didn't read the last Dir en grey reviews.... This song is a total regression in their writing abilities to me. But I'm hoping its a one-off ~heavy~ song and they'll go back to more melodic stuff asap. 2 togz and sentarou reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lichtlune 915 Posted April 22, 2015 I think it sounds great. Fuck all your opinions. kidding ;p don't kill me. I hope they stick to this sound. Can someone explain why it's "cookie cutter" though? Because it's a heavier visual kei song? Here we have a visual kei band that finally understands how to write a heavy and dark song. I can even hear some old school influences in some of the instruments. It's full of a lot of energy and eros has always been more suited for this type of music. 1 Freshsama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By using a cookie cutter, you're able to make all the cookies the same shape, so they're all the same. I think it could sound ok, given that Ice works on his screaming techniques because it really is all over the place in an unpleasant way. As for the music, it's not bad.... but it's pretty standard and unoriginal. basically with this song... BFN is just another cookie in the batch. But if you like cookies... by all means... This is only my opinion. u still cool for liking what you like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lichtlune 915 Posted April 22, 2015 I know what cookie cutter means I'm asking why you think "it's standard and unoriginal"? Show me a band that sounds like them. And who doesn't like cookies? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for the music, it's not bad.... but it's pretty standard and unoriginal. It's a forgettable song to me. again this is an opinion so regardless of what i compare them to, opinions vary and the way you take in a sound is different than i would or anyone else for the matter. I actually was a fan of BFN and i thought they had their own sound with what they were doing before. But to me in VK right now everyone is using basic recycled riffs and his vocals don't contrast well enough with what's being played to make it shine and be memorable. it's just O.K. to me. and just O.K. goes in with my pile of cookie cutter kei bands.

lichtlune 915 Posted April 22, 2015 Saying it's "cookie cutter" implies that it's the same as all the other visual bands. You can dislike it if you want but if you're going to say it's "standard and unoriginal" then you should explain why that is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elazmus 1873 Posted April 22, 2015 I like Black Gene generally. I like their sense of humor and cartoony attitude. Their other songs are more unique and interestingly written. The chorus here sounds a little cut off from the whole rest of the song. All that being said, this song is good and it's probably going to get many more plays from me than any of their aforementioned tracks. This is good for them IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lichtlune 915 Posted April 22, 2015 That doesn't really explain how they're "Cookie cutter". Recycled from what? Every band has influences that you could call "recycled". It sounds fairly original to me. I don't know any visual kei band right now that sounds like them. By the way the quoting function doesn't work anymore for me.

togz 2004 Posted April 22, 2015 I think you're being a little too defensive with the fact that someone doesn't agree with your opinion. I don't have to explain why i think they sound cookie cutter as I mentioned before the way you may take in things is different than how I would. I already said I respected your opinion or rather "u still cool for liking what you like." But even if I posted a whole list of bands with a similar sound and concept.... you like this song so you are going to hear it how you want to. And cookie cutter is such a loose term, if there was an actual definition of what the ideal cookie cutter band would be... then of course it wouldn't even be a term. Every band is going to sound at least a little different, but the idea of the direction of this sound TO ME has been done before and is very popular right now. Get a hot dark look, play a few heavy chords and throw in an ok solo. BAM success. A cookie cuter band to me is a band that plays it safe. This was safe. Their older stuff might not have been amazing either, but at least I could tell it was BFN right away. If this song came up on random, the only reason I'd know it was them would be the dying demon frog in Ice's throat. -shrug- That is my opinion. Take it or leave it. I'm not saying hey don't like them. Or hey they really suck a lot. I'm just saying this is bland. and the music isn't very impressive based on my tastes and views on the common mediocre standards. I'm not going to post again because this is getting off topic and too tense. 5 sugibo, pawzord, doombox and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lestat 2167 Posted April 23, 2015 I was so excited for this track over the previews, but now that I heard the full version... Please, Ice, drop the dying mongrel sounds and continue your clean singing, please don't sound exactly like Tsuzuku being molested on any further records and singles. 4 togz, lollipopmonstar, DOGharu and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elazmus 1873 Posted April 23, 2015 .............What lmao. I mean Tsuzuku already sounds like Tsuzuku being molested. this sounds.. nothing like him I'm not sure where you're coming from loll His harsh vocals here sound if anything like LIV'ERT, or kind of anyone else. Tzk is kind of the LAST person I think of based on this >_> 1 lichtlune reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
