I miss UnsraW greatly. 

You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung.

Welcome!

I think they are of a pretty high "Legend Status", so to speak, at least based on their success in Japan. They probably get a little less praise then you'd proportionally expect in the western fan world.
 
Every time I revisit Nightmare, I'm impressed at how good a lot of their songwriting is. Particularly, from like 2004-2008 I find, every album is full of really dense, but easy to listen to, tunes. I listened to Killer Show for the first time in ages a few days ago and I was amazed how much of a melodic contribution the bass was. Great bass lines and total earworm guitar solos on every track, it's crazy. Only thing that got a little annoying was how formulaic every track felt on that album, but you've got an album like anima, in contrast, which is full of some really varied and progressive tracks.
 
+1

They have TOO many bangers not to be. Sad to see how they've diminished over time though...

also source material for what's easily the best vid on the internet

MH is better than reddit don't @ me. 
 
Never leave us. 😥

I'm actually disappointed by Immortal Verses. I think it's only marginally better than Recurrence Of Hallucination because even though we get five "new" songs, they still sound recycled and partly copied & pasted from older SS or Hora's solo material 😔 Also, Kaya is a great singer but the vocals sound a little strange in the mix at times. Vocals should never invoke the image of "guy in small room singing loudly into a mic", at least not with such persistence as is the case with this mini. Where's Schwarz Stein's ethereal vibe? It's like they lost touch with themselves. Wachtraum is the only song I didn't want to skip on first listen 😕 
 
Hora's RESONANT on the other hand really surprised me. I was expecting the same old but he actually seems to have progressed a little sonically with this one. It's a very somber, moody, and atmospheric album. He seems to have borrowed a little from movie soundtracks and put his own spin on it which I really like (I was getting strong Disasterpiece ["It follows" soundtrack] vibes for example).

Yeah, it was awful in femme fatale but he seems to do well in other projects, hence why he's not the best. 

I think the previews I heard of that album are enough for me. I think I'm done with this band unfortunately. But lucky for me I was never a big fan except for a few songs like あー。Etc.
