Some of the best of GazettE! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
NIL, is a beautiful, memorable, and possibly the best GazettE album so far out there.

NIL highlights the very reason fans - fangirls and fanboys alike, love the GazettE. The skillful instrumental solos, especially of the guitarists, beautiful boys Aoi and Uruha. Ruki's vocals have definitely improved from earlier days of the GazettE, he has a strong emotional voice notably in Taion. His English may not be perfect in Silly God Disco, but he can do both serious and groovy funky fun tracks as well. NIL shows off GazettE's variety in music, from the emotional closing Taion song, that bleeds with raw emotion to the funky "disco party" of Silly God Disco.

True, that their songs are not, as hard, as dark as other tracks. This album has its share of fast and furious songs nicely complemented by the skill of the band members.

Overall, NIL is an album worth to listen to. Worth to buy. If anything, having both Cassis and Taion on a single CD is enough to buy the CD. Good job GazettE!

 Very good Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Yes, this is a great album indeed.
It is the first album of The GazettE I actually bought.
In comparison to their previous album "Disorder" this one, I think can be called "soft".
Songs such as "Cassis" and "Baretta" can actually be called ballad-like.

Not familiar with The GazettE but willing to get to know them?
I guess, this album is a good way to start.
To my personal opinion I prefer a more rougher sound, that was created in Disorder, and also in the newer sound from "Hyena" and "Filth in the Beauty" and the upcoming new album "Stacked Rubbish".
Yet I will say... listen to "Taion", a favourite to many fans, and "Silly God Disco" and "Shadow VI II I" are definately songs on which you can't keep sitting down!!

 Gazette Rocks & Rolls Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
1. THE END / The first track of the album, and it's named "the end"? How interesting. This is more of an instrumental piece that sets the mood for the album (I wouldn't call what Ruki does singing, in the strictest sense). Dark, mysterious, and very catchy.

2. Nausea & Shudder / This is a heavy song with pretty hard instrumentals yet a great melody. Here, you get the first taste of Ruki's vocal improvement since Gazette's last album, Disorder. If you haven't been following their 2005 singles releases, you might be caught off guard by the vast difference of Ruki's singing. His voice is richer, more powerful, and can reach a wider range. In this song, he sounds so passionate and has beyond met my expectations.

3. Bath Room / Ahh, this song has an awesome beginning. Once again, it's a relatively heavy piece. I think my favorite part is right after the guitar solo. Ruki restrains his vocals most of time during this track but breaks into intense full voice singing that truly enhances the climax of the song. Solid work.

4. Maggots / Wah, a head banging heavy metal song! I think metal fans can probably appreciate this track better than I can. This song is so very masculine, which reminds me once again that despite the band's beautiful appearance, these are men. Heavy instrumentals, heavy chanting, very hardcore.

5. Namaatatakai Ame Tozaratsuita Jounetsu / I think my jaw dropped when I first heard this track. It... sounds like... SWING?! Had I been a better swing dancer (or at least more agile on my feet, because trust me, this song requires serious footwork), I'd break out into a dance to this song. I am so pleasantly surprised by this new style. It really showcases the fun side of the band and shows its willingness to experiment. Blood cool!

6. D.L.N / Oooh, a ballad! My gosh, the chorus part is absolutely beautiful. The children's voices really complement and enhance Ruki's singing. He puts so much passion, so much fire into his performance. This is a song that tugs on my heartstrings and really makes me feel. Simply fantastic.

7. SHADOW VI II I / Holy crap, this song has an awesome bass line, wow! I normally don't pay as much attention to bass lines because they often don't stand out, but man, it's hard to ignore this one! Reita does amazing work on his bass and really makes this track unique. This is once again a swing-like, completely danceable song. But this suddenly changes about 2/3 through the track (the bridge), the tempo shifts and what the... this song is now funk?! Then just as quickly, it returns to the original swing beat and left me sitting there blinking. This is some serious experimentation. I love it!

8. Baretta / This is a semi-ballad song, semi, because I think the beat is too fast throughout for it to be a true ballad. This particular track doesn't really stand out for me. It's very nice and might work better had it been a single or even the B-side to a single. But in an album, it gets overshadowed (probably because it's sandwitched between two of my favorite tracks). Meh.

9. Cassis / Nice, another beautiful ballad. The guitar solos featuring Uruha and Aoi freaking kick ass. After seeing the PV, I realized that Ruki plays the guitar too in this song. He even gets a mini guitar solo right after Uruha's solo (well, kind of)! This song once again characterizes my favorite aspect of Ruki's vocals, the rich timbre and the impassioned singing.

10. SILLY GOD DISCO / I really should have seen this coming, since clues have been dropping with Namaatatakai Ame Tozaratsuita Jounetsu and SHADOW VI II I, but I was still caught off guard when this track came on. I think I must have jumped off my chair and started leaping about the room. *sweatdrop* Gazette + funky disco = holy crap, this song is too awesome for words. This is such a fun, wacky, wicked piece! Very very sexy, it's just... argh! Too bloody brilliant. Ruki's English is awful and I can't understand a word, but who cares?!

11. DISCHARGE / Hehe, another heavy metal track. This would be a great piece to play during lives because it'd really get the crowd worked up. I can already imagine the headbanging and roaring. The fangirls are going to go wild.

12. Taion / This is such a dark and harsh song. By harsh, I'm not just talking about the heavy instrumentals, but really mean the emotion conveyed through this piece. It feels so naked and raw, liking stripping away the outer layer and finding what's underneath bleeding and screaming for release. This song really really moves and resonates within me. This is probably the most emotionally powerful song and a wonderful end to this masterpiece album.

Yes, I think this is Gazette's best work so far. Ruki's amazing vocal improvement truly stands out. I'm glad to support such wonderful artists.

Yes! Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
This is my favorite jrock band (next to dir en grey and a bunch others) and I must say this album blew me away! You will never get tired of it! My favfavefave track is "nausea & shudder". I also bend towards "bathroom", "shadow vi ii i"; and "cassis" was always an awesome sinlge & PV. Worth the money; really great band.
