Shaolan974 6185 Posted January 18, 2015 In fact, after their good first demo, they made only one song. Now, they're making different versions of this song... 1 sugibo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elazmus 1873 Posted January 18, 2015 I find it easier to look forward to Arlequin when it's in single format, that's where they need to stay for the time being. it sounds good for more short-term listening Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ro plz 1290 Posted January 19, 2015 So we just gonna ignore/play ignorant to the fact that whatever new song plays at the beginning of the vid posted sounds exactly like LYNCH's GALLOWS. Ight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
filth_y 189 Posted January 19, 2015 In fact, after their good first demo, they made only one song. Now, they're making different versions of this song... After their awesome demo they had 1 or 2 good new songs but overall, yeah. Always the same but still enjoyable. But what do you expect with only their drummer having the slightest talent. Others are just there for the fame, they dont care their sound IMO. Typical Host-Kei behavior. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Typical Host-Kei behavior. welp they've gotta be pretty talented if they "dont care their sound" [sic] and are "still enjoyable" also lol at that non sequitur at the end of your post. 3 Sakura Seven, Tetora and Yukimoto reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peace Heavy mk II 7200 Posted January 19, 2015 They're obviously doing well enough that people are salty lmao Also, they've ripped off lynch. before, so it doesn't surprise nor phase me. 3 Zeus, tetsu_sama69 and hiroki reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeus 7997 Posted January 19, 2015 Not bad, but I'll reserve judgement for when the whole song is out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't get how ripping off is like the standard for these bands nowadays but ppl like it so...i guess that justifies it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdoll 907 Posted January 19, 2015 lmao the pink haired guys face in the solo cuts. it doesn't matter if they took something from dry dusty lynch. cause they make it not suck. ha one of my bands 'ripped off' arlequin with their latest album and shat on them. anyway sounds better than anything on that skanky album of theirs. also i like stella Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leighla 876 Posted January 27, 2015 Another great preview by Arlequin. 2 Yukimoto and jduv86 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheStoic 176 Posted January 28, 2015 I have no ill-will towards Arlequin. Even if they are somewhat formulaic, I have enjoyed their releases and like that they bring the heavy sound with their efforts. As I have said before though, I hate chorus only previews, and this didn't get me excited because of that. Show me the other parts of the song that give it some character. 1 Elazmus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elazmus 1873 Posted January 28, 2015 @TheStoic: My thoughts as well, especially for a band like Arlequin, the chorus is almost a foregone conclusion lol. Even in general though, using chorus-only previews like that always makes me cynical. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricchubunny 2013 Posted January 28, 2015 Wow i got a conclusion. They may be kinda boring on CD but their live is so fuckn awesome! I think thats why they're selling so well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ricchubunny 2013 Posted February 25, 2015 The title song sounded kinda boring at first but then it grown on me......and imp.......what to say about imp.....just WOW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elazmus 1873 Posted February 25, 2015 First listen thoughts: DILLEMA: I like this throughout, at least as good as Hakaana. The chorus does not fit lol, but the same chorus can't fit every song of course >_>. The breakdown in this song is fucking awesome to me. OOPS sorry I left the 16 year old faucet leaking. IMP: Starts out instrumentally boring but the vocals are pretty.... INTERESTING?!?! After the first minute it becomes quite frenzied and the "chorus" is cool as hell. Aki is actually having fun with vocals good god. This is really sick actually. More effective than their other heavy songs. SHIROI UTSU: I love the atmosphere starting off, makes me think of a somber A9 ballad. it doesn't fully deliver maybe could stand to be longer, still pretty good. I think any of these could have been favorites on NEAR EQUAL. would have fattened up the track list too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peace Heavy mk II 7200 Posted February 25, 2015 Sounded like a luke-warm single, even after forgiving the awful youtube quality. They've definitely done better, as well as a lot worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
