uhm.....Gary Busey inside a teacup? lol. It's just ok. It tries to throw a lot of curated recommendations at you so it's really bloated. Works well enough for making playlists, but it's somewhat user hostile. For example, on their mobile app you can only play music on shuffle. And they throw in random songs in the queue. 

It does have a lot of stuff I listen to though and it's pretty good for finding similar artists.  I'll use it for discovering new k-indie.

The worst part is the ads which are all insufferable.

@Jigsaw9 hahahaa there we have it. I've honestly had no interest in Daron's solo project. Took one listen and just didn't find it interesting.

Yeah, it's a far cry from their old music. For what it is though I'm enjoying it. The heavier parts are giving me S/T flashbacks somewhat and I think the lyrics are pretty catchy. I think I'm just glad to hear the four of them release something. If anything, it's more just a nostalgia kick for me.

@Jigsaw9 I wouldn't be surprised if that's exactly what happened. The drummer has been saying that he had like 30 or whatever demos ready to go and that they just needed Serj.

That reminds me, I have to separate tracks out for some stuff I ripped. You got a discogs?

@Joel - Yeah, it's amazing to see a band nearing 30 years of being active still putting out material that's worth listening to. There are so many bands that fizzle out within a few years.

@The Reverend - Yeah, certainly not their best work but I thought it was a fairly solid effort. Definitely a few fun tracks in there that channel some "Akuma no Uta" energy.

@reminiscing2004- nice! Thanks for the rec, this goes hard.

Ok, I might have to check that out then. I mean, they've been around since, like what, 1990? After 30 years of being active, it might be tough to keep things fresh 😅

Ah, I kinda figured. Not many sequels do. It's interesting they decided to split it up into different timelines. I didn't know that was a part of the reboot. Maybe I'll give it a shot soon!

@YuyoDrift - No, I haven't yet. I kinda fell out of them around My Foot. What tracks would you recommend? 

What'd you think about the reboot? I heard mixed reviews and haven't watched it yet.

Can't think of any but as soon as I read "Inuyasha" I heard the guitars in Fukai Mori and now I'm going through Do As Infinity's discography.

@Manabu - yeah that would've been interesting 🤔

@YuyoDrift - I was excited for it because I've always enjoyed Leigh Whannel's past works. But like his other movies, there are things I really liked but it all just kind of fizzled out by the end. It wasn't terrible, but it just didn't feel solid enough.

I'm actually looking forward to Candyman because Jordan Peele produced and co-wrote the script for it.  And I've thoroughly enjoyed both get out and us.

It's literally just tracks you've put into playlists but in a random assortment. Talk about lazy 😂

Congrats on your switch! Guarantee, this'll be the best purchase you make this decade. 

I'd like to see them go as far back as their first 3 singles. Wife and Akai One Piece sound like they would turn out well reworked and they already still play a somewhat updated version of kantou dogeza kumiai live.

Know the feeling. I got some "active" neighbors right next to my room and sometimes I just yell and they stop.

@Bear - Sure, sure. But, like Yuyo said, I just think there's a starker contrast between eras in Korean music history. There's at least a wide range of artists in Japanese music even today, but in the Korean music industry you don't see any psychedelic rock or metal bands or experimental musicians in the mainstream. And anything in the "indie" scene is still saturated with pop and hip-hop focused musicians, which is fine, but there's no room for diversity.

Get it Gesu!

Disorder. It isn't bloated like most everything after this album and it's the height of their indie sound (which is my favorite era).

This simultaneously makes me dead inside and gives me life

@psychonnect_rozen the taste of too much red wine

@Zeus - Mysterious new band "ZEUS" has formed. Can't wait for that first single

Soundtrack to your own horror/thriller film (that anime OST one was so fun)
 

If you're at all interested, and have incredible patience, I'm selling Gauze LE and a bunch of other Dir en grey CDs/DVDs but can't ship until like January:
