  1. I own the THE ONE - crash to create- single by Luna Sea as a SHM-CD and really can't spot a difference to normal quality CDs.

    I have a relative good audio set up at home and really sat in front of the speakers with closed eyes to hear any details which were not available in standard quality. XD

    Either there is really no big difference or I am not audiophile enough.

     

    So in my opinion buying a SHM-CD is money thrown away.

    Saying your opinion is trolling. Unless you're saying dimlim is the second coming of christ. Then you may state your opinion. Anyway, beware of this new rule cuz I'mma have to start giving out warnings and bans around here

  3. I can understand both of your points.

    Of course DIMLIM still has a huge potential with an A+ singer and a solid/creative guitarist. And yes, even MISC. has some highs which I hope they could improve over the possible next record.

    But what is definiteley not deniable is that the presentation of the band (Retsu) is literally a catastrophe. There is no concept, no content and no clear path of what this band is aiming for.

    In my opinion - and that should be for the most people here - is that I like a band partially because of the music and partially because of the look/theme/appearence (whatever you may name it).

    The music: ok they changed (and it's our turn next hehe) and I can accept that.

    The apperance: They wanted to quit VK, that's ok! But what are they aiming for?

     

    And for that I think this band is nearly dead. They abandoned fans from the past as they wanted to do a cut and will be struggling to gather new fans because of a) no shows at the moment and b) no concept.

     

    And that's a shame as this band had/has so much potential.
     

    Ah yes and that "positive reaction from overseas" is - in my opinion- a leftover from CHEDOARA and I would bet that most of the people who got tickets for the oversea shows didn't buy them to get wild over "Lament" if you know what I mean..

    I went to Pumpking United live in Warsaw back in 2017, and Kai Hansen rocked the crowd with "Ride the Sky" and "Heavy Metal is the Law".  I still agree it's kinda sad nothing has been going in with Gamma Ray. How long it's been since Empire on The Undead?

    New Years Eve with Kai Hansen? Oh, man, that's awesome! 🤩 I am a CD collector myself and I own most of Helloween albums with Deris and I even have a Keeper Part 1 copy on a casette tape. Also kinda off-top, but did you know Kai's son, Tim, is playing in a band called Induction? Kai Hansen even sang in one of the songs in the last year's debut album

    That's cool! I would have loved to see the Pumpkin United Show but I missed them when they played in Wacken..
    It's 6 years since Empire of the Undead was released. Kinda shocking how fast time flies.. 
    Haha yes it was a nice party and he really is a nice guy. No wonder he is such a god in Japan. :D
    I heard from his band yes but I don't know him in person.  


  5. Legendary band for sure! I'm more a fan of Gamma Ray but since Hansen's collab with Helloween the band is nearly dead.
    Helloween's roots are laying in my Hometown Hamburg, Germany so they are a big deal here.

    A few years ago I spent my New Years Eve celebaration at a party at Kai Hansens house because a friend of mine knows him in person. It was a nice party and Kai even gave me some CDs from his collection. :D


  6. MUCC will broadcast a live concert which will be accessible from outside of Japan too.

    An online ticket will be available for the bargain price of 40$ lol.

    Are there really people who are spending 40$ for a freakin live stream?!


  7. MUCC released a shiny form of their new album "惡".

    This version contains a new mastering of the album by Miya himself including two bonus-remasterings of taboo and 例えば僕が居なかったら. All of this stuff was already released as a M-Card download which was included in the physical Version of 惡.

    This version is now up for streaming or downloading.

    Dunking on dimlim guarantees you brownie points amongst ur hipster peers!

    I didn‘t mean it that negative as it sounded. 
    It‘s just my opinion that this band will not survive any longer. They dropped an album which departed their fanbase (to say it kindly) and did their last concert in 2019. I don‘t think that there will be anyone left interested when they return to the stage. Which is sad because I loved this band to death until their „we changed now it‘s your turn“ shit.


  9. My main issue with them also is to find a fitting place for them in my Collection shelf.. 😅
    I organize my collections chronologically so it often happens that you have a 12cm in between two  8cm CSs and this looks horrible. XD

    But otherwise I really like the esthetic of this little CDs and they feel like real treasures from a distant time.
