sugibo 403 Posted December 17, 2010 i think the songs are good. 7/10 the vocalist is lack of emotion when he sings, 3/10 but the screaming is ok. 7/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
finnthesubhuman 26 Posted December 17, 2010 Nu-metal isn't really my cup of tea, so I'd probably only listen to it in small doses every so often. Nu metal? You mean groove metal. This is more comparable to Pantera than Korn. But it's really trying to be like Slipknot, who pretty much was a groove thrash band. I'm yet to see a jrock band play true nu metal, apart from parts of Dir en grey's VULGAR. Groove Metal's name is so misleading D: . When I read it I think of Celldweller's cover of "tragedy," but I know it's supposed to describe things like Lamb of God (according to Last.fm). dks_dkdoobI I jumped on the "lumping everything sort of heavy vk into nu-metal" bandwagon, not to be offensive but because they're too many damn subgenres. A simple thing - nu metal = hip hop + groove. Groove has no hip hop. Rap metal is any style of metal with rapped vocals, not all nu metal is rapcore. Most jrock bands play a mix of hardcore (like hatebreed) and groove for their metal influences. Groove METAL is actually bands like Pantera, Meshuggah, Sepultura, Devildriver... it uses the drums and low tuned guitars. Slipknot and Korn are heavily influenced by groove, and Deathgaze copies slipknot. Now ask me the difference between I Killed the Prom Queen hardcore and A Day to Remember or something, i won't know shit. Everyone knows their own fav genre and can tell it apart from other stuff they don't like xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sai 868 Posted December 17, 2010 am I the only outcast who didn't find it that special? :/ No you're not. Apart from a couple of songs, I don't find it as special. But oh well it's an overhyped band here in tw. I agree as well. It was decent and there were some exceptional tracks on it, but it's just the typical DEATHGAZE. Am I the only one who liked CHILDREN?

sugoge 11 Posted December 17, 2010 Am I the only one who liked CHILDREN? XD No, it's my favorite song on the album. This is what the lyrics booklet looked like, by the way: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tosinn 3 Posted December 17, 2010 I love how they turned the hiragana upside down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sugoge 11 Posted December 18, 2010 I love how they turned the hiragana upside down. Upside down and backwards, and it was a bitch to romanize. So if I see anyone reposting my shit without credit I will definitely fillet some people:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Renor 0 Posted December 25, 2010 I love Awake, expected a lot from this, and in the end... Eh, I'm dissapointed. It's still fresh in my mind and I didn't really have time to focus on songs so I'll give them a couple more listens, will probably end up liking 2 or 3 of them beside singles.

buster 3 Posted January 12, 2011 the album was ok, but somehow i can't get fond of them like i used to, since their old singer left the band :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
