MACABRE (Japan Ver.)
December 25, 2006 The perfect follow-up!Dir en grey's debut 'GAUZE' is so great that it's easy to wonder how they could ever follow something like that up. 'MACABRE' is not only better, it's completely different as well! They have kept their unique sound and slightly modified it for the better, going for a darker sound.
It's near impossible trying to pick a favourite as I feel all songs are just awesome! However some I'd like to mention are MYAKU, WAKE, Hydra, HOTARUBI, [KR] cube, MACABRE, RASETSUKOKU and TAIYOU NO AO. Kyo's vocals are nothing short of amazing all the way through in every song, the guitar work from Kaoru and Die is greater and more fierce than before, Toshiya glues everything together with his rich bass playing and Shinya's drumming might steal your entire attention now and then.
I think it's quite unnecessary to compare 'GAUZE' and 'MACABRE' since they're so different and both such awesome albums! With 'MACABRE' however, the stakes rises as they've found a musical identity and then needs to find new grounds and that's what they've done instead of just repeating their success! I recommend this album to any fan of Dir en grey, cause if you are a true fan, you will get this one!Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)
