Which is super fucking lame. Also, no remastering is fine, because remastering these days just means "make it louder and ruin the dynamics." 1 NICKT reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Euthanasia 333 Posted February 13, 2017 I like the tracklist, and as I've mentioned before I am looking forward to hear Ito. Buuut I was hoping for Saraba (or do they count that as a ballad?), Chizuru would've been nice too. 2 Seimeisen and platy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Furik 832 Posted February 13, 2017 Covers are absolute killer but the track listing is LAME. only thing saving this are re recordings. 1 nekkichi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seimeisen 4406 Posted February 13, 2017 A part of me was actually kinda hoping they'd replace reira and Cassis with better songs. Silly me! Great artwork, though. ETA: 菫 and 千鶴 would have been great picks 1 Euthanasia reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karma’s Hat 3107 Posted February 13, 2017 I was very surprised about Bathroom not being included, since they've been using a new intro for it and everything for a long time now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pazzi314 11 Posted February 13, 2017 It will be interesting seeing some of those songs in a re-recorded form, but at other points I find the tracklist choice rather lacking. 1 Seimeisen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hakoniwa 222 Posted February 13, 2017 I actually think Cassis and Reila are a must for a *ballads* album... I'd find it weird if they weren't there. They may be "overrated" and all, but they were huge hits back then. I gotta say I'm not a huge fan of their ballads like...Guren, but I'm glad to find some I like on that list, like D.L.N.! I'm curious about the re-recorded versions anyway, so I might grab this when it comes out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karma’s Hat 3107 Posted February 13, 2017 It's still completely up in the air as to how re-recorded songs will end up being. Something like Girugamesh' BEST or even to the degree of Dir en grey's remakes? Or just a really cruddy remastering that just sounds loud, with just maybe Ruki's new shitty one-note clean vocals if we're lucky. If history is any indication, I think a lot of people here are due for disappointment. It'd be a criminal offense to not remake Taion the proper way, but we'll see in what'll transpire in March.

Ozileras10 371 Posted February 18, 2017 Lol true the quality is shit, but from what I can hear the songs sound pretty good. I'm glad they corrected the English lyrics in Cassis. 1 jduv86 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ghost 2687 Posted February 18, 2017 It being radio quality it's hard to make any solid conclusions, but I think the re-recordings will end up being enjoyable at the very least. I like the cleaner production, although I mostly prefer the instrumental & vocal executions from the original versions. Also, I think whoever mixed this had a bit too much fun with the reverb *cough, cough Cassis-drum-fill-after-acoustic-section*. It would have been nice to hear them change up the songs a little, but maybe not actually. That extra melody Ruki added near the end of Guren did not fit in well. 1 Ozileras10 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saishu 1589 Posted February 18, 2017 No Hana Kotoba is seriously a huge mistake. I would rather they rerecord Disorder entirely than get a collection of mostly dull ballads. 3 Seimeisen, saishuu and platy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You mean at 9:27? that's in the album version mix, this mix just made it louder. Edit: nvm it's in the single too so i have no idea what you're talking about I don't know what it is about the laughter but it hits me in the feels. I can chalk it up to how I can relate to the song but still, I've listened to it multiple times I don't know why it hits me like I'm listening to it for the first time again.
