I saw it live at a ZEPP Nagoya show last month and wasn't too impressed. I felt it was all over the place.

I'll admit I'm not the biggest Dir fan, but I really loved ARCHE and as a follow up this just didn't do it for me.

 

That was roughly my first impression too, and I am a huge fan so I think it's a general consensus at this point regardless of fandom level. It sounds like the studio version is more fleshed out though and the song grew on me a bit between the first and third time I saw it. I'll report if anything changes tonight.

congraturitos on their guantamo bay torture playlist debut!! <3

 

 

depressive vocal powerhouse chanteuse better stick to sukekiyo for life tbh

 

 

[Saishu 1589]

Not gonna say too much about a shitty radio rip, but it's okay from what I can tell. 

[saishuu 3220]

lol this song is a mess

[Tokage 5930]

well, that was a hot fucking mess, kind of underwhelmed tbh

[Pretsy 1343]

Cannot wait to see how certain nordic fanboys will defend this effort this time

Almost seems like an answer to GazettE's DOGMA as opposed to ARCHE.

 

I like the chaotic verses, the chorus isnt spectacular but still more entertaining than the weaker songs on the last album.

 

The interlude towards the end of this cut is niiiiice.

Saku and Maggots had a mentally disturbed baby. 

[Daisuke 20]

you don't like guys?, personally I love it <3

[Puriwate 28]

Fucking amazing 

 

I predicted it would sound like arche mixed with vulgar since they announced the vulgar tour and i feel like that describes it well. Im so loving it<3

[Puriwate 28]

Im so happy to hear those crazy manic sounding vocals from songs like marmalade chainsaw return. And it sounds like its going in a new direction even though its leftover from arche. The guitars don't sound anything like the super overdence stuff from dss. Im definitely excited

[blacktooth 227]

The special website for the single says, "3 minutes and 10 seconds of pain・ Can you endure this pain?"

 

That is consistent with my first few listenings thus far.

I like Vulgar, a lot but while this description does sound accurate, I'm not a big fan of it. Its not bad but just like STU, i'll prob have 2 let it grow on me. 

[Puriwate 28]

Well i guess thats fair... but tbh this is the most ive jumped and danced to a direngrey song in a long time. But its like... my personal tastes are specifically satisfied so i get that not everyone is for it. Also that one part at 1:20 sounds like something dadaroma would do 

[Saishu 1589]

They edited a song that's 3:10 into 2:50? The hell was the point?

[mopkins 42]

I dig it

 

that recording quality made me feel like my ears are full of mud, though

[DeadlyClaris 52]

Sounds great besides the shit quality of the vid.

[Puriwate 28]

 

 

Heres a good quality ver.  Also a 20 second cut doesn't seem worth it but its 1/9 of the song actually 

[platanity 99]

wow that was awesome .

chaotic schizophrenia ! 

[Seimeisen 4406]

I'm liking this! I can't wait to hear the full song!

[emmny 4139]

????????

[Ro plz 1290]

Yeah....that better quality helped a lot.

 

Its becoming even more of a grower.

[platanity 99]

on a side note, that part 0:47 reminded me of a song from rentrer en soi ...  i forgot which -

but wow, this song gets even better after couple of more listens

Yeah, that version brought out more of the song, plus putting on headphones helped immensely.  Liking what Toshiya brought to the table on this one.
