Heard the bland chorus riff somewhere before, just adding 1-2 power chords between the main notes. Dont remember now what song, maybe a the GazettE one or something.

Just as their last two new songs, uninspired and boring.

But, Miyako's look and his guitar

[VkBrutaliaN 1890]

pv = 10/10 the song itself however.... nothing special - hoped for something more interesting... liked their last 2 pvs (songwise) way more.

Didn't know about those two, but I was thinking Baiser's "Magenta Story" originally.

Well, it's somewhat difficult to write an entirely new nu metal riff, plus DEZERT has never been known for being particularly innovative. It's more of the same with better production, so basically what most listeners of these guys want.

Yay for the one black guy haha.... But seriously this song was amazing and I really love it<3

 

The PV was by far one of the best I've seen in some time!!!!

[chemicalpictures 1888]

Maybe it will grow on me after a few more listenings, but so far, ain't no Saikou no Shokutaku-grade material

[Karma’s Hat 3107]

Signing off from the Dezert war wagon. 

 

Conceptually they've changed from the Japanese middle school suburban child murders of the 2003 vk vein into clean-cut jumpdafuckup catalogue boys. DEZERT of the early minis and the first album is filthy, as much looking as sounding. And while DEZERT has struck and missed plenty of times since they started, their most unhinged moments still stand on their own, not even close to being in the same ballpark as their very unfortunate previous and no doubt future renditions Happy Song

Kinda expected something a bit more but the song is still very good nevertheless. The PV is awesome though.

Fixed: What listeners of bland, major sound like. Maybe that will be "most" listeners, but not people that were listening to them before their 2nd Best-Of.

But its fine for them, since major kind like sound = probably more fans (because most people like bland, easy listenable sound) = more money probably. But let's not start the old discussion major vs. indie sound.

I think they are trying to go real big here (therefore giving up their sound style) or if that aint working, disband (my guess from what they've been talking at lives).

Sad for me in any case, cause i liked the stuff they did before quite a lot :\

Why so many bands are able to do it then? This aint even metal for me, just basic power chord sequence with heavier distortion (doesnt need to be bad for that, just felt like i heard it before and expected more from them). (btw, im just talking about the chorus riff! Dont mind the intro/verse stuff).

[Kaleidoscope 195]

@filth_yI can see where you coming from, at least when it comes to the production. While their new production does sound a lot more polished and makes them lose the gritty sound the used to have, however, I don't feel like this song is a major shift from their old stuff (which I listened to a whole lot, way more than to any of their newer stuff) - Hentai and Ohaiyo clearly were, but with a different production this one could have been on one of the first two albums and nobody would have noticed. They've always had a soft spot for pop-ish tunes, even though the songwriting is arguably more interesting in some of their older songs.

 

Personally, I'm still on the fence when it comes to whether I like the new production they have or not (like I said, I like the song itself). I happen to enjoy the girugamesh-like production, call it bland or generic or whatever, but I have to admit that I'm going to miss the dirty sound. Then again, they released plenty of strong material before changing their sound, so I'm honestly not to upset if they try a new direction and to appeal to a wider audience.

 

Anyway, it seems like I meant a different riff since I was talking about the intro riff when I was referring to the main riff  

 

What did they say though that makes you think they might disband?

This is more generic than I was expecting, hm.

 

Hopefully they go a little harder in the next full length and do something more memorable.

[evenor 1655]

I prefer their cover band (DAMY) way more.

I don't know if it's all about production quality. Take"Seion", from Saikou no Shokutaku, as an example. It has some real interesting production values (the whole album has), the whole composition is pop as fuck, and yet it does not lose any "rawness". That song is dirty, guitars and bass vibrate as the real fuck, and the recording quality there is top notch, crispy clear. This new song is really toned down, it's more like bad gazette days than earlier Dezert, in my opinion. Yeah, they never tried to hide their pop vein, and I don't think they should, cuz some of their best is really poppish, but this sounds like something equalized the easier way, like they weren't even trying... Maybe live it will sound better, cuz now it feels souless, I would say
