Seimeisen 4406 Posted December 26, 2016 I'd prefer a re-recording album to only be comprised of rare oldies and STACKED RUBBISH songs that are not so great, and I'm not really dying for more reila or Cassis. Still though, I'm really looking forward to this. And I'm with those hoping against some UNRAVELING-esque reinterpretations. 1 Aeolus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saishu 1589 Posted December 27, 2016 Guess I'll be the first to say I am NOT excited, because I think a majority of Gazette's ballads are absolutely boring. However, the fact that these are re-recorded has me slightly intrigued. 2 hours ago, sorane1028 said: Don't ruin these memories plz The originals are always there.

Deathtopi4 428 Posted December 27, 2016 I'm excited to hear some of these rerecordings, a lot of these ballads listed are ones I really like. If these turn out okay hopefully they'll do more rerecordings in the future too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gekiai 231 Posted December 27, 2016 I'm the only person not excited for this, probably because I'm not a big lover of ballads generally. I am curious about that rerecording of Guren and Cassis, tho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yukimoto 1237 Posted December 27, 2016 I love their ballads so I'm 1,000% excited for this!!! I hope some of the re-recordings take after the live version because some of the live versions sounded way better<3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saishu 1589 Posted December 28, 2016 Wait, some of these were already on the first Traces album! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nekkichi 6043 Posted December 28, 2016 I mean... they're re-recorded now, so at least that's something. I'm disappointed ever since Aoi posted he also wanted an okuribi re-recording, but I guess we can't have nice things, so it's calm envy and shiroki yuutsu, the despicable album filler, making the cut :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tokage 5930 Posted December 28, 2016 Re-record all of the ballads so they're not ballads anymore please thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TODORA 18 Posted December 28, 2016 I already had enough Cassis and Reila in my life by now~ So I´m really looking forward to hear new, refreshing versions of those songs. I just hope they won´t screw up their re-recordings like so many other bands didBut I think we don´t have to worry this time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bunny 1140 Posted December 29, 2016 So excited about this re-record Ballad album !!!! I can't wait for these tracks !! PLEDGE CALM ENVY reila 絲 Cassis D.L.N 紅蓮 体温 枯詩 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eraser 66 Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) Very good news, though I don't understand why they think putting UNTITLED and PLEDGE so close to each other is a good idea (they did it on TOXIC too). While I enjoy both of these soogs, they are just way too similar, and I believe they aren't the most suitable tracks to end the album either (I know the tracklist is chronological, but still). Other than that, I'm very looking forward to this one. edit: nvm, I believe the "song list has not decided" part in the OP means it's not the final track order.

Well, I'd get rid of tracks like UNTITLED and 白き憂鬱 in a heartbeat, maybe they'll reconsider as well Wondering how WITHOUT A TRACE will turn out <3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karma’s Hat 3107 Posted December 30, 2016 I have a feeling we're expecting a bit too much from this. While a new Taion is easy to imagine, there's not a whole lot that they'll be able to do to PLEDGE or UNTITLED even with their current sound. I don't think it likely that one or two songs get a completely new look while two others remain relatively the same, that is unless they're really re-working all of them. Untitled legit sux thou'. Always thought it was the only boring ballad they ever made, a real dime-a-dozen number on an album that already a couple of misses. PLEDGE is fantastic. Without a trace is a swell addition that just makes me hope for a tru b-sides compilation and b-sides themed tour from them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
platy 3018 Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) DLN and taion! I'm looking forward to this. They're missing some crucial ballads here, I wish for these re-recording albums they'd only focus on their older stuff(2009 and before) Edited January 1, 2017 by Platy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ro plz 1290 Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) A lot of us seem to be either (rightfully) haunted by Dir en grey's Unraveling or have Dir en grey goggles on when the word rerecorded comes into play. I'm convinced that these are just going to be fresher sounding rerecordings. Nothing more, nothing less. I didn't listen to the first Traces album but I'ma go ahead and assume that this was the case there as well. A lot of the responses that came once DOGMA was released is a perfect example of why over-hyping/expecting too much from a GazettE release is never a good thing.

LIDL 692 Posted January 2, 2017 I doubt GazettE will go DEG route lmao, they have very different direction in music. Plus the album blatantly mentioned that it will be collection of ballads, Ruki won't wail through the song like Kyo does for ASOM remix only with random chords on piano, that is not his style lmao Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nekkichi 6043 Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) gzt are pretty self-aware of their semi-manufactured poprock band niche in the music industry and lack kaoru's signature asinine stubborness. this sounds like a release they would dedicate to fans not impressed by dogma (it didn't really sell well, despite all the promotion effort) without investing that much time & creative energy; I really don't get where Deg comparisons come from if anything this would be closer to that lynch. best of thing.

Komorebi 2193 Posted January 2, 2017 Well, here's The GazettE's chance to redeem their older songs to my ears. I always disliked almost everything pre-NIL because of Ruki's singing. Let's see if now I manage to like Taion. Also, was there a Traces vol1? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
