Guys...just watch the live for this. It's essentially the greatest thing in existence.

Album Rating: 5.0

One of the best live shows I've seen, yeah. Beautiful theatrics and performances; it's the definite visual experience of this record.

13th Floor With Diana has been on my long Oh-God-I-Wish-I-Wasn't-So-Lethargic-That-Way-I-Can-Blaze-Through-These-And-Immerse-Myself bucket list for some time now. There are other BT live releases I'll be checking as well, such as One Life, One Death Cut Up; especially considering I have a review planned for a certain album. Gee, wonder what that could be :P

Well with a good few listens I don't quite love this as much as everyone else haha. There really isn't a bad track on here though. Tracks like Alive, Doll, Doukeshi A, Romance, and Seraphim are just perfect to me.



I'd def like to check out another BUCK-TICK album with stuff kinda similar to those songs.

Well there is no album in their whole discography like this one (this was a massive one off change), so you aren't going to get this sorry :/

Wow that is surprising considering their large discography, regardless I'd still like to check out some more by them. I really enjoy moments from this and can only see it growing with time.

Album Rating: 5.0

For reference this is their eras, all completely different in sound:



Posi-Punk Era: Hurry Up Mode to Seventh Heaven



Gothic Post Punk Era: Taboo, Aku no Hana



More Gothic Rock/Electronic/other stuff (their turning point): Kurutta Tayiou, Darker



Industrial Rock/Experimental: Six/Nine



'Cyberpunk' years: Cosmos to Mona Lisa



Gothic Orgasm: 13Kai



'Straight Rock' years: Tenshi to Yume



An elixir of Electronics and Gothic tinges: Arui





Band is a massive grower, even when you think there's nothing more from the album there's still more to them all. Go to Kurutta next.

Some time ago I also did this video overview of their career, hoping it can serve as a guide to people who are just starting out with B-T: youtu.be/TynYZjA52YE. It's a bit long at 17 minutes, but you can just skip around, see if something catches your attention and go to that album.

Gmember, you can, however, check Atsushi's side project The Mortal.

Wa-hey, writing half-baked reviews three years ago paid off.

Hey Cross, you were just mentioned in a different thread. Cheers on the video

You could still do with a higher rating ;).

This is one of those albums were you need the CD and the lyrics in front of you to fully appreciate, but in any scenario nothing is as fun as swaying to Goblin :D

I hold my 5.0s and 4.5s very dearly and listen to too much stuff to give all those precious ratings away)

But to have this on the same level as the GazettE's DIM is pretty cringe come on now :P

Album Rating: 5.0

It's that band's best moment, but far from this, indeed.

Album Rating: 4.0

As a highly-stylized goth-rock album with good hooks, stellar vocal performance and thick atmosphere, 13kai works. As a definitive "new-school" J-rock release for the masses, chockfull of hooks, riffs, great drums-beats and a consise overarching feel, DIM works.



If you just don't like GazettE, there's no way you'll ever see their work as above average at best. I myself find GazettE nowadays to be the epitome of everything wrong with new-school J-rock but DIM is catchy, hard-hitting, emotionally charged and fun to listen to. That for me is just a-ok. It's nothing to go back too for a revelation, sure, but it needn't to be like that.

Album Rating: 5.0

I liked Dogma almost as much as Dim solely because it sounds like Diru-lite, haha. I have both 4'd. The rest based off what I've heard would be 3.5 tops.

"I myself find GazettE nowadays to be the epitome of everything wrong with new-school J-rock "



You pretty much hit it right on the head right there (despite them being definitely better their all their cookie cutter clones), while to me this album is a revelation. All of the top guns of VK falling or have reduced in quality and nothing but generic boring bands are flooding everything but here are Buck Tick 14 years after Kurutta creating an album which is the antithesis of everything boring with cookie cutter J-Rock bands today. And not just incredible for that standard, but any in general with the amount of work they put into this.
