Saishu 1589 Posted April 25, 2018 I wouldn’t say this is their worst single. Taiyou no Ao and Child Prey are pretty bad. What bugs me about DEG’s production is that everything has sounded the same post DSS. Every DEG album has a particular sound, but starting with Rinkaku up until now, they seem stuck on everything sounding like this compressed wall of noise. Kaishun could have been absolutely gorgeous if it were treated with delicately, but it’s just as fucking loud as Uroko and Midwife. Listen to the Ash remake and how the first part of the solo takes on a softer acoustic tone, yet it’s still loud as hell. Absolutely no dynamics, which completely destroys the impact of the following heavy section. These fuckers are in their 40s now. Time to go analog or something. 3 1 Furik, blacktooth, Seimeisen and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seimeisen 4406 Posted April 25, 2018 3 hours ago, Saishu said: everything has sounded the same post DSS Exactly! I didn't mind the sound/production of THE UNRAVELING because it was like a 'cleaner' DSS. ARCHE sounded too much like UNRAVELING but even more compressed, so I wasn't pleased. And if these two singles indicate anything, it's that we're in for an ARCHE II. I like 人間を被る as an ARCHE/UNRAVELING leftover, but I hope the album version is different, and I hope my "ARCHE II" prediction is false. 1 Furik reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Different Sense is the only recent single that they didn’t touch for the album version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nick 10212 Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) That's because DIFFERENT SENSE was released one month prior to DSS. It was more like DIFFERENT SENSE was a selected track from DSS to be sold as a single.

WhirlingBlack 1043 Posted April 25, 2018 I think this is the first time Kaoru is back to purple hair since the macabre era? Very pleased with this development. Overall the band has had a sharp increase in quality looks in the past couple of years, it's nice to see them visually interesting again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
