TheStoic 176 Posted March 17, 2015 After reading up on this release and contemplating their latest efforts, I went back and listened to Beautiful Deformity again. When comparing it to other releases from other VK groups, I tend to still enjoy it and feel it is good music. I think the issue is that I just expect great things with every release by the band because I have been blown away and addicted to their songs in the past. As a result, by no means do I feel that this is a "last chance" for the group with me, but I do have to admit that I don't get as hyped for releases by them after trudging through their Toxic era release cycle. However, I find it strange to hear that other people didn't like Division, especially with tracks like 籠の蛹 [Kago no Sanagi], 余韻 [Yoin] and Gabriel on the Gallows. I thought those were top notch tracks, and was surprised to hear the overall disappointment within the communities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shinobu. 252 Posted March 17, 2015 Haven't listened to this band in a while. Maybe I'll have to check out this album when it comes out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nullmoon 784 Posted March 17, 2015 I still don't know what the deal is with people hating Toxic. It's not as 'bleep bloop' as everyone thinks it is (Division has a lot more of this going on) and actually has a lot of catchy and varied tunes. 1 platanity reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gaz 1097 Posted March 17, 2015 I'll check it out as I usually do, but as usual I bet it'll a waste of time. I count 4 awful and 2 mediocre albums from the last 6. In other words there's not any reason whatsoever for me to check it out, but for some reason I'll check it out just in case they've returned to form. Awful. yar pretty much the same. minus NiL because of nostagic feelings. 3 awful and 2 mediocre albums for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shizukasou 47 Posted March 19, 2015 PLEASE don't drop a single just because. XD Indeed. I'm totally fine with them not putting out singles anymore and taking time between each record. Anyways, their new look haunts me in my dreams and I'm so ready for this new album. I'll have a good reason to hate summer a little less this year. Bring it on guys! 1 Elazmus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikuKun 83 Posted March 21, 2015 I see some people are pretty negative when it come's to The Gazette's releases, I personally haven't enjoyed every album but I have always found something I enjoy on each album, I love The Gazette and hope that this will be another great release! Can't wait! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't wait! I agree with you but this comes whith every release the BAND tries to change the music and go in to a different direction. Eiether it satisfies some people and some will hate it.

Ro plz 1290 Posted March 22, 2015 I still don't know what the deal is with people hating Toxic. It's not as 'bleep bloop' as everyone thinks it is (Division has a lot more of this going on) and actually has a lot of catchy and varied tunes. The issue with TOXIC is not so much that it was a bleep bloop album, its that the only plausible songs on it were the singles. The rest of the album had a bunch of wtf /lazy tracks on it. Also, there was no real direction from what i remember. Division was more or less the same thing, despite the claims from Ruki or whoever that it would be "more like (insert album titles)." It got to the point where there was no real differentiation on Uruha and Aoi's parts and hell, Reita was pretty inaudible for the most album. I still believe the whole time constraint of pushing out albums so rapidly was cause for this conundrum. 1 jduv86 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ghost 2687 Posted March 26, 2015 The instruments sound nice, but lets see what happens in the Ruki department... 1 Elazmus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elazmus 1873 Posted March 26, 2015 LOL "In the Ruki department" I like this.. On that topic, some of the DVD clips shared feature some pretty legitimate screams. I honestly am a fan of the vocal "roar-shouting" that guys like he and Ryouga are known for. but it suffers from monotony when they barely ever break that mold with any genuine screaming. which we know BOTH of those guys are capable of. 1 ghost reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ghost 2687 Posted March 27, 2015 I'm a fan too! Although, sometimes it's a little corny (especially how Ryouga does it. But I love corny) I know most people didn't like In Blossom from BD, but I particularly liked Ruki's "roar-shouting" in the beginning of that song. I agree that Ruki hasn't let out any good screams in recent songs. I think I remember him doing some pretty good shouting in Gabriel on the Gallows though. Speaking of "roar-shouting" and Ryouga, check out the preview for God Collapse. It's like roar-shout heaven. jk you already did hahaaa... 1 Elazmus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Augie1995 325 Posted March 27, 2015 Sounds like your typical guitar work, I can dig it. I'm curious as to if Ruki is doing some screams during that first part or if it's clean vocals during that part Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheStoic 176 Posted March 28, 2015 The cover version sounds like standard rhythm section chorus for The GazettE. I like that type of music, but am hoping the melody is constructed well and the second guitar is differentiated and adds some dimension to the finalized track. I have to admit that after watching the Standing Heresy DVD Live performances last night, I'm psyched to listen to GazeRock again. They have gotten a lot of flack the last few years, but I still think they make solid music. 1 Zeus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

enyx 903 Posted April 13, 2015 Damn, that's awful. And this song's supposed to appear on the next record? Abandon ship. It's an old song from their previous album.

Des 289 Posted April 13, 2015 Ehh, right, makes sense? So I completely forgot about this song. I hope that uploading this video now is not because it's in tune with what's to come... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
