December 18, 2005 Don't let purists fool you.This album is glorious. Anyone who started this "they're turning American!" rumor is a loser, really. They sound NOTHING like Slipknot. And nu-metal is hip hop beats and neo-rap lyrics. Geez.
This album is no KISOU or Macabre, but is no doubt no worse nor better. Every song shines on this album, no originality or variety? Uh, Machiavellism and Jesus Christ R'nR, anyone? GARBAGE is SUCH a entertaining song, if you give it a few listens, it grows on you. dead tree is filled with so much pain. Merciless Cult is so brutal yet so beautiful.
Listen, people. Dir en Grey were never a pretty band. Even during the GAUZE era. They were bound to become dark, moody, and obscene. Get over it and go listen to some Gackt if you can't handle it. You can whine about those no more Yokan or Mushi like songs anymore, and complain about no more "originality." For your information, in Japan they are going down a VERY original path. In a culture where everything's pretty, cute and upbeat, Dir en grey are like a thorn sticking out reminding people things are not what they seem.
About Kyo's vocals. He's not a happy person. Never was. I'm proud of him because he's not caring that people think doing whatever he wants. (Which includes a lot of screaming. O_o) Sure, it'll be nice to her him sing more, because his voice is lovely. But that's his choice. Does an artist paint a picture to please people and make money? Or paint because he wishes to put his mind on canvas?
Thank you Dir en Grey for reminding me that life is not bliss and for letting people know that they are not the only one to see corruption.
I hope they continue doing what they feel is right. If you have sampled a bit of Dir en Grey, any album by them is great. Including this one, it's worth the money.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)
