    You gotta wonder how many people disagree with will just because they don't like Dir en grey...

    Wasn't the drummer from Ayabie also involved in this?I don't know. I didn't read anything concerning Ayabie's Dr.'s role in this. Then again, there were so many stories floating around I don't even know what's true and what isn't.

    You have no idea how much you just scared the living shit out of me Trombe. I thought it said cocklobin Vo.nigu will depart. Heh, that's what I get for reading so fast.

    Uh...what is this (

    Kyomu no Owari Hakozume no Mokushi should be the romanized version of it. I should go compare and see for myself...

    Heard there was an out of court settlement. He probably had to do some community service on the side as well. Don't know for certain though.

    I don't care about band disbandments but i DO care about band members getting hurt/killed.

    You know what I hate more than live-distributed singles? Bands that distribute one at their final live in quantities of 300 or less That's just a general observation. I neither like nor hate this band. Shame they have to go though.

    I think the B-SIDE to Guren was Kugutsue. And yeah most of their singles are like that. Even Wakaremichi's like that.

    this i really liked this single and i got tired of all these disbandments in visual kei everything is so?transient Getting attached to an indie VK band is like getting attached to RHYOLITE. You know they're going to disband, you know they're not going to be around long, you know that most of their music is going to be substandard. Hoping for anything else is setting yourself up for failure. I have no doubt that meth.'s members may continue in the music industry. They usually do. And I wonder what that means for DEATHGAZE...

    Try some of this. It was originally adapted from video games so it's worth a shot I guess http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abx4ls7o6MA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cfpmQ4KI8c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnX7cRc5MdM I can post more if you want.

    Well Toki had to go take care of family problems and the band had lost Nao earlier so I guess the general consensus among the band was that VANESSA was no longer VANESSA, if I'm making any sense. Don't question this too much. Bands do it all the time. One member leaves, band disbands, new band is immediately formed with four members of the previous band.

    I thought you were actually serious (NO I DID NOT GET THE REFERENCE). See you when you get back =D

    Anything before Wataru strangled that chick should be given a shot. Anything after Wataru strangled that chick should be treated with great caution. MAR MAROON should be crucified.

    Go back to their earlier days. That's dark.

    Everything between DEATH POINT and DEVIL'S PARADE should have been left off this album. That comprises a good portion of my review. DEATH POINT blows, 13 -Thirteen- feels like an interlude. As a song, it goes nowhere and does nothing. LOVE IS DEAD is just an OK song and shoved in between 13 and DEVIL'S PARADE ruins it's appeal even more. DEVIL'S PARADE was good until that really weird breakdown that loses me. Not the greatest thing on this album but it isn't hideous. I have a feeling it might grow on me a lot with subsequent listens so it's somewhere in the middle. So yes, all of these songs could have gone, made MONSTERS into an EP and I would have been a happy camper. Human-clad monster is an amazing song once it gets started. Best of the album. Hizumi actually sings (as opposed to some other songs on this album where he just chants or mumbles). MONSTERS needed more HCM. Next up on my praise list is dope. It has a simple guitar riff but it works. There's some more of Hizumi's singing and I think there's some growling in here as well. If it's not, it's FALLING. I have to agree with SUBLIMINAL on the BRILLIANT references but it's not as blatant as I thought it would be but the rest of the song works. Not as great as the two before it but it isn't atrocious either. PROGRESS had some of that delicious synth work they were raving about and Tsukasa's contribution to the album is distinct, which is better than what can be said about his addition to REDEEMER. Then there's FINAL CALL, which I oddly like a lot, and then the ending ballad abyss. It's not as epic as I thought it would be but it serves it's purpose and it's a good song. The third best on the album, tied with FINAL CALL. My main problem with this album is that tracks two through five are too much of the same. Omit those and we have a winner. With those in this album's score in my book drops a lot. It's still a good album, the parts I like I adore and the parts I hate I abhor. Mirror = [coll] > Monsters > REDEEMER Put a large gap between Monsters and REDEEMER.

    No You as drummer? ;___; I'm upset. It looks like for the most part they decided to stay together. Hopefully the three of them get back together in another band. Genki's voice was finally getting better.
  18. Great news. He has a good voice. He just needs a solid band that's going to stick around.
  19. Zeus

    Just another "promising" band that's going to be forgotten before ever making a name for themselves.
  20. Zeus

    More proof that they didn't leave because they could no longer perform. Mio and eve need to get together in a new band ASAP.

    Not to derail current conversation (I plan to go to the live at NYC on the 24th) but I just have to say this somewhere Dir en grey related. I was speaking with a friend on TW about old Dir en grey releases and I began recommending singles to download and singles to skip. 95% of those old remixes are just hideous. HIDEOUS. Especially Yurameki. That's a way to destroy a good song. I'm glad the band decided on reconstructing old songs instead of lazily throwing together a remix of the current single because I can only think of three singles that actually had good remixes. Sorry, I just had to get that off my chest. GO DIR EN GREY.

    but not a solid.not a solid. solid.
  23. Zeus

    People think their style has changed though because the main composer with Lycaon's signature sound (eve) left. That usually changes the sound of the band.
  24. Zeus

    Don't care for them, but they don't deserve the masses' hate either. They aren't THAT bad. They just aren't all that good. Like someone said, they're generic average pop-rock - perfect for openings, not for much else.
