What's wrong with a 3.5? Doesn't that correlate to "great" on the site?

Album Rating: 4.5

And that's exactly what it is to me! Great, but nothing better than that. Dum Spiro Spero shits all over this imo, but then again they haven't released a true "new" full length since that. I'm just gonna have to wait it out.

Too low.

Album Rating: 4.0

I wouldn't say this is a classic because it's different takes on old songs, but it's very good

Album Rating: 4.5

Meh, I'll give it one more listen within the week. Maybe I haven't given it a totally fair shot.

It gets the 5 for me, simply for managing to make old songs sound modern and fresh, dispite the fact they are old songs.

3 MORE WEEKS UNTIL THE SHOW OMFG

Enjoy, dude. I just pre-ordered the Limited to-order "Sustain the UNtruth" a couple of days ago.



Unbelievable how much money these guys get off me....

Album Rating: 4.5

Raising this to a 4.5 after seeing them live, where they played a decent amount of these newer ones.



Look at this freakin' awesome setlist, yo: http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/dir-en-grey/2013/the-theatre-of-living-arts-philadelphia-pa-23c4a077.html

Album Rating: 4.5

Man, I'm reading through the setlists of other shows they played on this tour, and there are some songs they alternated in and out of the setlists with. If I saw them play Gaika or Bugaboo live, I would've lost my shit. Still a really good setlist though, so I can't complain.

Album Rating: 4.0

but still I heard a setlist they did a japan, vinushka, Diabolos, MACABRE

Fuck, I bet Diabolos was immense! Love that song, and don't think it go highlighted enough on Dum.

Album Rating: 4.5

Diabolos has been a super grower on me lately. If they included Gaika, Bugaboo, and that in the setlist omfgggggggg

Album Rating: 4.0

okay, people are tallking about diabolos, which is a 2nd rate vinushka, MACABRE(2013 ver) people, their 2nd best damn song in their whole disc (Final first)

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

Damn, I would see a live show just for VINUSHKA, DIABOLOS, and 2013 MACABRE alone.



Just got back from the Chicago show; they basically mixed stuff on this EP (Death Valley, Karasu, and Kasumi, I think) with UROBOROS and a couple songs from withering & DSS. Got to OBSCURE, dead tree, DOZING GREEN, VINUSHKA, DIFFERENT SENSE, RINKAKU, and Gaika though, so I was pretty pleased overall. Encore was Reiketsu, FINAL, and Hageshisa to, in that order, which was a pretty killer closer.

See, no appreciation for Diabolos.





Macabre 2013 is a masterpiece though.

MACABRE 2013 might be my favorite song ever by them. Sprawling and dark and manages to capture most of what makes them so special.



DIABOLOS sort of is a 2nd rate VINUSHKA, but is still a pretty good song in its own right and never gets enough credit, I feel.

Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Off

Diabolos isn't second rate anything, it stands strong as a highlight on DSS imo.

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

I agree, but I still think DSS as an entire work is weaker than UROBOROS, and DIABOLOS by extension so (not that DSS was bad; I gave the thing a 5).

Album Rating: 4.5

Seeing them live would be intense.
