Pretsy 1343 Posted May 15, 2011 SADS is a band of Kiyoharu (Kiyoharu, member of the Visual Kei group Kuroyume/黒夢), Sakashita, Masarou and Eji *that plays a pretty straight blend of post-punk, grunge and glam rock influenced music. Kiyoharu still maintains his eclectic vocal approach, however, which gives their sound a nicely unique flavor despite being a bit more conventional in overall style. (* current lineup: Kiyoharu K-A-Z Keisuke Kubota Go) So, SADS fans around here? I like TRGGM, Sad Blood Rock'n'Roll and the 7 Deadly Sins alot Even though, imho Kuroyume is better than them because I despise Kiyoharu's post-kuroyume-era's occasional, musical mediocrity (Not a big fan of his grunge/safe play-like works) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jigsaw9 6783 Posted June 3, 2011 I like SADS too (and like Kuroyume better too, lol). I have their Sad Blood Rock'n'Roll and The Rose God Gave Me albums, those are my faves probably. But Babylon is cool too. I couldn't really get into the other stuff, too much filler/mediocre material for me (but some nice songs here and there). Their comeback album was sort of okay though (well, infinitely better than Kuroyume's return IMO). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmberKid 0 Posted June 4, 2011 SADS fan here! *raises hand* I was happy to see them return. Kuroyume is THE LOVE though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yasupon 18 Posted June 5, 2011 I quite like Kiyoharu's unique voice and his vibrato. They are really fun to listen to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CAT5 9075 Posted June 5, 2011 TRGGM is still a classic, imo ;] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Number Girl 48 Posted June 5, 2011 Out of Kiyoharu's projects, SADS is my least favorite but they have a few fun songs. I've always liked "Strawberry," "Masquerade," and "Rakuen." Of course, it has been a while since I listened to their pre-breakup material too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doaseternity6 93 Posted June 5, 2011 SADS is actually the only Kiyoharu related project I like. I'm not in love with kiyoharu vocals per se so my whole thing was more so just the style of music as it was hella fun to rock out to and was the kind of stuff I liked listening to at the time. I still bump their albums, particularly TRGGM, on occasion mostly for nostalgia. Not really too fond of their comeback material though, not that it's bad, just hasn't hit me the same way.

sai 868 Posted June 6, 2011 Never really checked them out, maybe 1 album like a year ago or so, but I must say I really like GOTHIC CIRCUS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
