It's not awful, but it's kinda boring tbh. Compiled Fragments 1997–2003 is also a must if you're a fan of screamo. Collects tracks off splits and a few other tracks. Only thing bad about the release it's that because it's Envy, you'll miss out of Yaphet Kotto's three amazing tracks of the split with Envy and This Machine Kills. Which is a totally killer split with three great bands. Yaphet Kotto completely stole the show on the split tho.

You won't go wrong with anything up until 2007. Everything's great. The further back in their discography you go, the less post-rock and more screamo you'll get. I always end up recommending From Here to Eternity, All the Footprints You've Ever Left and the Fear Expecting Ahead and Insomniac Doze as they're my three favourite Envy albums. Three pretty different albums that they showcases their early, more screamo oriented sound (From Here to Eternity), the transition album where they started incorporating more post-rock (All the Footprints...) and the album where they leaned more towards beautiful, atmospheric post-rock and soundscapes, but without completely leaving the screamo behind (Insomniac Doze). So it all comes down to if you want screamo Envy, post-rock Envy or a little of both. I prefer the first, but that's just me.

Nice! Ever since their latest mini album thingie they've had a support keyboardist.

he was having problems during the gig before and during that song his voice crapped out completely

If you actually like early DEZERT and other kind of more macabre visual kei from about 10 to 15 years ago and don't like this song and a couple of others from the album, then you're basically just fucking stupid. One of the riffs on this song could pass for something from Aicle or something, and I understand that the tone is very different starting from voice first of all but I don't know what you want every song to be brooding in the same carbon copied way or what. TODAY stinks and then that Knife Koufuku no melody they released suck too. This album does too but only occasionally when it's droning away something blase and TODAY-esque, but at other times it's just about the best thing going right now. I don't know how they managed to shit out two terrible albums before the Moran guy actually started playing guitar like he was from Moran. There's some really cool and crazy stuff in here that's pretty much what I had hoped he'd do when he initially joined the band, only to cash in on this promise literally just once with the riff from Kimi no shikyuu wo sawaru. By the time he started doing something more reminiscent of him, they were doing that indie sound to Call of Rescue and stuff but fuck now in the context of this album it's ok. Since I didn't get the DEZERT I hoped for with Moran-esque guitar playing with the imagery of title nashi and vocals of OG-Chiaki, this is the second best and I'm settling for it. This is better than their second album by the way. I get it that the mood is dark and occasionally things get brutal; what I don't get is how two three songs being sort of vaguely hardcore ( not even close to anything from title nashi ) everyone ignores the dog shit middle part with its terrible ballad and the rest of that nothing of an album. It has to be said also tho that DEZERT was even up to title nashi quite diverse, and even that album has songs that could fit in this new one. It's just that you do a Korn or a Suicide Silence riff once and then the gaijin expectation are set forever ( case and point: dadaroma ) So in short, art kei DEZERT is my friend and now if on the next one they cut out the slacking and get even weirder, then I'm back on board full time. Decent album.

https://twitter.com/D_D_D_official https://twitter.com/M_O_G_twi https://twitter.com/saki_saki10 https://twitter.com/SiN_DDD_ also im just making a guess that 咲樹 is the same one that was in J∀CK11 cause i cant find anyone else who went by that name and played guitar

Vocals: M・O・G (ex. DIEPAST) Guitar: 咲樹 (ex. J∀CK11) Guitar: SiN (ex. DIEPAST) edit: removed possible support members since theyre just switching between people for whoever they can find for lives i suppose) also looks like theyre mostly covering songs from bands like sadie, rshitei, mejibray, born live but theyre also performing an original song so maybe this band will actually be a thing soon

After a while... Finally I know who the vocalist is. Vo.紗ナ(Sana) is vo.月兎(Kaguya)(ex.Xquella)

Ouch, I actually enjoyed some of DIAMOND lol.

Ten and ruze have changed their twitters so I'm mostly posting this so I dont lose track of them on social media in the event these guys ever start up new band(s) https://twitter.com/munou_muku?s=07 https://twitter.com/tenten_potechi?s=07 https://twitter.com/ruze_break?s=07 Also seems like ten recently posted some demo recently, not sure what itll be for but might be worth checking up on it every once in awhile

It was all better than shit like Diamond. Though the self titled has some of 12012’s worst tracks, I’d rather listen to that than the generic, milquetoast pop rock they farted out for a couple albums

@YuyoDrift @platy - don't this sound like it could be an old Utada song???

I remember being super ambivalent, but now I miss tf outta them.

The tl;dr version is that because Sana joined Unite very shortly after EVE's breakup, obviously it lead the speculation that this played a huge role in EVE's disbandment.
