Okay I’m listening with headphones now and good lord this album sounds awful. I’m going to punch Kaoru in his face. 

Credits:
1. Keibetsu to hajimari (Kaoru) 
2. Devote My Life (Toshiya) 
3. Ningen wo kaburu (Kaoru) 
4. Celebrate Empty Howls (Kaoru) 
5. Utafumi (Kaoru) 
6. Rubbish Heap (Die) 
7. Aka (Die) 
8. Values of Madness (Toshiya) 
9. Downfall (Kaoru) 
10. Followers (Kaoru) 
11. Keigaku no yoku (Kaoru) 
12. Zetsuentai (Kaoru) 
13. Ranunculus (Kaoru)

Aka sounds like Die's song alright. Kinda shocked, that Toshiya wrote Values of Madness.

I finally got to listen to the whole thing tonight. As others pointed out, it's hard to judge a DeG album on it's first listen. I really didn't like DSS at all when it first came out, and it slowly grew on me, so I'll reserve any negative feelings on the album until I've heard it at least 3 or 4 times all the way through.
So far, I like about 8 out of the 13 songs, so that's a pretty solid score.
I think the most honest thing I can say after the first listen is that I hope they don't go 4 years between releases again. I think a big part of my opinion on the album is that we had a long wait to build up anticipation. I wonder how people's feelings would been if this kind of album just came out a year after Arche.

Real talk, Devote My Life is borderline unlistenable. 

If the whole album was like the second half, it would be a masterpiece for me.
I do enjoy some moments on the first half, but those songs are too chaotic, especially first two tracks... so yeah kinda mixed bag

Let’s just hope it’s all metaphorical for killing the band, not himself. Not that I want DEG to disband, but I feel like they’ve only got so many years of doing this. 

it's the tower of babel hun x

which picks up on the cringey-ass "between heaven/hell" purgatory concept from the utafumi piv

Looks like babel

gonna be checking here every two hours or so I NEED INSULATED WORLD TO DROP
 
its gonna take ALL my strength not to skip right to aka tbh

Kyo, if you’re reading this, I hope you leak The Insulated World and PM me the link. Thanks. 
 
Its all set, guys, they’ll read this and get right on it!

Based on the samples, it feels like Aka's gonna be my favorite on this one

Hahahaha I thought so, but if that's the case I don't know what kind of animes those people have been watching lol

I love the production on The Bottom of Chaos

Both Ningen wo Kaburu and Utafumi has re-recorded vocals according to the official video description
 
 

It’s okay to like things. You should try it. Just once.

Glad there are some calm songs on the second half. Aka still sounds nice, might be a good ballad

Not sure if this is a known fact already (couldn't find it on the last couple pages) but here are the song lengths from Tower Records:

02. Devote My Life - 00:02:46

Full length is 50 mins.
Gonna skip the samples/advance track and wait for the full thing, although it's a bit hard, heh.

I mean it is possible to like music but dislike the musician. It's not like they are inseparably connected.

All of these notifications are driving me crazy. With all the people posting now, I keep coming here thinking samples have come out, or the album leaked, and each time I cry.

I'm looking forward to Aka (that chorus is beautiful)
Not really excited about heavy songs and it looks like the album will be mostly heavy.

I actually really like that version of The Final. I do agree that most of those remixes are garbage though. Like that awful Inconvenient Ideal organ remix that butchers one of their most beautiful songs.

I liked chedoara. Especially grotesque and hito to katachi
