jon_jonz 885 Posted August 16, 2015 "THE GAZETTE's New Song Is Japan's Answer To Bands Like KATATONIA" If Gazette was 1% as good as Katatonia is they wouldn't have such an annoying fanbase. I feel so ofended by this headline. It's one of the most disturbing things I've ever read, haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bear 1817 Posted August 17, 2015 What? Is Gazette's fanbase annoying because of the quality of the music? Nah, that's not the reason. My reaction was more to the general comparisson of Gazette and Katatonia, wich for me personally, is beyond dumb. Quality-wise I think Katatonia have been just as bad as Gazette for the last 10 years. Katatonia post-Viva Emptiness sucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jigsaw9 6783 Posted August 17, 2015 Between this comparison and random international metal media hooking up with Yoshiki of all ppl from time to time, I just don't understand what Western metal journalists smoke sometimes... xDDD 1 Aferni reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Augie1995 325 Posted August 17, 2015 Did you guys actually read the small response he did to the song or did you just read the headline and just say "fuck it, time to voice my frustration. HOW DARE HE!!"? 1 Seimeisen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LIDL 692 Posted August 17, 2015 JPU Records confirmed today that DOGMA will release simultaniously for the digital version, with a physical release to follow on Oct 2nd. https://www.facebook.com/JPUrecords/posts/1158553650825043 That is great news, so I don't have to purchase it off iTunes Japan but from US iTunes instead, since my credits are on the red line atm.

SOTSOG 12 Posted August 17, 2015 How dare they to compare Gazette with the great Katatonia, wow I can't believe. If Gazette was 0000,1% as good as Katatonia, i'm so offended, wow......yeah. Anyway, can't wait, album will be very soon, I really love all previews haha. Please be good! Previews for BD was really good, but when album was released i was disappointed.

Seimeisen 4406 Posted August 17, 2015 That is great news, so I don't have to purchase it off iTunes Japan but from US iTunes instead, since my credits are on the red line atm. I'm assuming that Sony Music Japan will be distributing DOGMA on the US iTunes store, like they've done with every release since TOXIC. Unfortunately, JPU Records doesn't release/distribute anything in the US. They snub us completely. (pretty sure there are legal reasons for it) ETA: I really hope that every GazettE fan with a US iTunes account buys the album there! I hope it'll do well in the iTunes US Top 200. BEAUTIFUL DEFORMITY made it to #156 around the time it was released. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, this album have really big hype, bigger than BD, i also hope they will be high on Oricon, this is most important, for them at least, lmao. But i don't know about Japan, no idea how many people will buy this album, If music is good, I hope Dogma will be do better than BD. Visual kei on the decline already long time.

I suppose that would mean 25th afternoon? Not sure at what time iTunes usually update the new releases. I do hope so too, that way Gazette know they have a support from down here.

Augie1995 325 Posted August 19, 2015 I get what you mean but it's a bit of a stretch to make comparisons when we only have one full song. Right, but he is talking about just that one song and how it reminds of him of stuff he's heard from Katatonia. He's not saying the whole album or the band itself, just that one song he's heard. Which is why I'm wondering why everyone is literally "judging a book by its cover" and flipping out so much. Nevertheless, album comes out in a little over a week. Ruki has mentioned finishing up their current PV so hopefully we get another video by then. I'm interested in checking this album out more so than their past albums Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bear 1817 Posted August 19, 2015 But no one is judging a book by its cover, we're all just laughing at his awful comparison as no one else is getting a Katatonia-vibe from the song. It's as simple as that really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's as simple as that really. well, strictly speaking the article doesn't really claim any katatonia vibe per se. the only comparison it mentions is: "everything I absolutely adore about bands like Katatonia and Porcupine Tree, in terms of heavy music that isn't afraid to sit back on wavering keyboards and acoustic guitars from time to time", which is a perfectly reasonable statement to make. It's just that the ridiculous headline implies otherwise. 2 emmny and Seimeisen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
