Kelrya 145 Posted September 11, 2018 How can 60 seconds be half the song when even the shortened version is almost 4 minutes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never said that it was half the song and I'm also not talking about the seconds. I meant that since the song essentially has two parts, along with intro and outro, we got (almost) half of it (2nd part, 2nd refrain, outro). Compared to the live version I know, the promotional edit's intro is shorter. It's also missing a sentence between 2:20 and 2:25 and the ending is shorter.

Kiryu999 3336 Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) It's nice but way too short for this kind of song, 5+ minutes would have been better. Idk how much they cutted off from the album ver. but it feels like something is missing, would have loved a beautiful guitar solo and a longer outro for example Edited September 11, 2018 by Kiryu999 1 kuyashii reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kuyashii 124 Posted September 11, 2018 Well that was a tad underwhelming. I know the song is shortened for promotional reasons, but it really feels like it's not "flowing" well. It's like a ballad version of "Revelation of Mankind". The individual parts are cool, but they don't lead too well into each other and everything just happens too fast for my sake. My fears with the production turned out to be real, the mix is pretty muddy (but I like how Shinya's drum triggering doesn't sound that obnoxious though and there isn't all the wacky reverb they drenched Arche in) I must say Kyo's vocals are really really good considering he has been sounding like crap for the last years. For people who are going into their concerts, do they show the entire MV or just the edit? And I don't think this version or the one that will come with the album are censored in any way because it's listed as "Promotion Ver." or something and not "Restricted Ver." which is how they label their censored material. They've done stuff far more disturbing/disgusting on clips that didn't had any censoring tbh (the carnivore insects of "Hageshisa", anyone?) I'm disappointed there were no guts flying every direction after the bride exploded though :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seelentau 884 Posted September 11, 2018 1:26 to 1:30 sounds as if there's something missing, to me. The guitar at 1:30 seems cut off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saishu 1589 Posted September 11, 2018 Lately the trend has been to cut the first verse short, which makes the chorus always seem to appear out of nowhere. That they’ve even been edited such short songs doesn’t make any sense. The edit of Utafumi was released ridiculous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This was my suspicion as well. There may be two verses before the first Chorus; but I have no idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blacktooth 227 Posted September 11, 2018 I like it. The verses sound fresh for once, so I do hope we'll get a bit more verse on the album version. Chorus still sounds like an anime ED though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are. And every single time the edits cut out shit that make the transitions sound abrupt and unnatural. If that’s really not the case with Ranunculus then fuck Kaoru!

If it makes you feel any better, it’s because Dir en grey are held to a higher standard than any other VK band. I would consider that a testament to their quality. 1 raspberrynilla reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jigsaw9 6783 Posted September 11, 2018 This 'almost full' version is a lot more enjoyable than the initial preview made it out to be! Video is still gorgeous, song's okay. It'll probably work better in album context. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
