What's the difference going to be between this and the old album? Remasters? Re-recordings? Re-arrangements? 

[Kiyoharu is God 283]

Tsuuzetsu has a couple of re-recordings. Leji i'm assuming is from the live limited single. Kurutta Kajitsu is exclusive.

 

Homura Uta has a 2nd disc with a remaster of the original. And Daikirai 2006 is there.

reimbursements, first and foremost.

[Shaolan974 6185]

Yeah. Good news. I'm really curious and exciting at the same time.

[reminiscing2004 617]

Sooo confused trying to make sense of what the hell's going on here. Repress of the 1st edition of 痛絶 is pretty cool? and i guess im curious about a 痛絶 remaster, because I would say there is some potential to do a better post-processing job on it this time around.

 

However, I'm extremely suspicious that the remaster of 葬ラ謳 will show any improvement.... It's just a really great sounding album already. This is all intriguing news nonetheless, as a fan of pre-2005 ムック.

[platanity 99]

these are very interesting.

 

 

altho, very rare to get my hands on ...

I hope it doesn't end up sounding worse due to an audio engineer or a CEO with tinnitus thinking louder is better. Some serious balancing of instruments on a tight wire is required before we could even talk about improvements. With a strict remaster they are working with what they have, unless they plan on cheating and re-recording a few guitar lines or drum fills here and there.

I am curious to see this crop up, especially after how well received T.R.E.N.D.Y. was (still haven't listened to it). Stopped following MUCC after Kyuutai but both Tsuuzetsu and Homura Uta are killer albums and I never thought they would revisit this era in any form.

I think this may be what is going on:

 

Tsuuzetsu

• CD 1
  • Re-recording
• CD 2
  • Track-listing & mix from the 1st press of Tsuuzetsu (2001)

Homura Uta

• CD 1 
  • Re-recording
• CD 2 
  • Track-listing & mix from the 3rd press of Homura Uta (2004)

From the sounds of this description from Puresound, it sound like it's meant to be a release that compares the old Mucc and the current Mucc.

MUCC celebrating the 20th anniversary of the band re-recorded & remastered 2 pieces in the early stages of the band. You can enjoy compare the initial MUCC and the current MUCC. It is now that skills and music knowledge have been raised for the songs that I knocked down with the utmost at the time, so I'd like you to compare and listen to where I am challenging. Fully limited production board is luxurious package + photography booklet specification with taking off. 

 

When they say [DISC-2:Tsuuzetsu 1st] I'm positive they're referring to the 1st press of Tsuuzetsu, and when they say [DISC-2:Homura Uta -ReMASTER-] I think they're referring to the 3rd pressing of Homura Uta which was indeed remastered (slightly clearer dynamic range and punchier than the first press.) and included Suiso (which was not included in any other pressing of Homura Uta).

While I'm talking about Homura Uta, funny little tidbit about the different pressings is that the only aesthetic differences between the two is that the 3rd press has a giant black & white sticker on the back of the shrink wrap with different catalog number information, the CD matrix has a different catalog number to reflect the pressing, and there's an extra little insert with lyrics for Suiso. Everywhere else you'll see that the packaging and artwork is pulled straight from the first press down to the catalog number on the case and even the bonus CD.

The jackets for the the upcoming albums. So fucking cool @_@

Really cool indeed

[Seimeisen 4406]

Damn, I kinda wanna try and get the live-limited 新葬ラ謳 just for that outline cover 😆

[Furik 832]

Very mukku like. 

[Tokage 5930]

i love mucc again now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LIDL 692]

Are those cover art for the self cover? Or for the new album? Or maybe for the cover version album with those awesome bands in it?

 

Lenticular cover art sounds really neat! Reminds me with issue 281 of METALHAMMER magazine with BABYMETAL on it.

[Tokage 5930]

pretty sure at least the bottom one is for the new version of Homura Uta, considering how similar it is to the old one.

For the different versions of the remasters

[Kiyoharu is God 283]

They're for the remasters of HOMURA UTA and TSUUZETSU. The new album (of new songs) came out in January unless they announced another one. Anyway, Junji Ito (who was behind the HOMURA UTA illustration) is really happy with the result:

Sasuga, Junji Ito

[Seimeisen 4406]

High resolution covers for the live-limited versions

 

 

 

新痛絶 is plain af of course, but I love this version of 新葬ラ謳, because of how closely it resembles the original booklet cover.

[TrentReznor 362]

Miya just showed the artbook for both releases>

 

 

Look pretty nice
