@Metal Cos it was a let down in every conceivable way.



Need to check Kyo's other project, is it heavy?

Album Rating: 4.0

Still have to listen to TIW in full, but about half into the album I get a headache cus of those shitty sounding drums and then just turn it off.

"Need to check Kyo's other project, is it heavy?"



It can be but no where near Dir's 2008-2013 material heavy, that's not the type of band they aspire to be. Completely different band and should be treated as such. Check this for a good introduction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-b2FyyCqzxw

"Need to check Kyo's other project, is it heavy?"



It is not heavy like CalculatingInfinity said, the project was started because Kyo was getting tired of being a shocker and showman in Dir En Grey, he wanted to focus on being a musician more. Thus why Arche is kinda influenced by Sukekiyo. and The Insulated World is about Kyo wanting to retire being a showman and shocker and focus on being more of a musician. So the next album in 2020 or 2021 will probably and maybe be experimental like Uroboros or Dum Spiro Spero.

@Pleb id totally recommend Sukekiyo, really solid stuff. Start with Adoratio, the band has a more experimental edge than what we've seen from Dir en Grey, just dont go in expecting Dum Spiro Spero levels of heavy.

Rinkaku is such an amazing track

The perfect Dir single pretty much.

next to different sense, agreed

The Blossoming Beezlebub/ Different Sense run is the best thing the band has done imo. Also Rinkaku is a god-tier track

Rinkaku is still their best song, that chorus is < 3

Rinkaku is top 10 of the decade for me. Everything about it is amazing.

The last minute or so takes me places, probably Kyo's best vocal performance ever.

Video clip for that song is also amazing

Ditto on pretty much everything y'all said 'bout Rinkaku. I remember during the last US tour at the meet and greet I asked their favorite song off this album to play live and they (or rather it was Kyo's answer) said Rinkaku...despite not even playing it that night, lol.

Does Kyo speak English? I thought it was just one of the other guys in the band.

Album Rating: 5.0

Only one who can speak English is Die, and it's broken English tbh. There's a translator for their overseas tour and they translate questions during the VIP's.

Ah right, fair enough.

Shinya can speak English too. There's a short overseas tour promo video or two out there where he speaks the language. The only problem is that he sounds like an Engrish robot when he speaks English lol.

Album Rating: 5.0

There's a pretty big difference between "speaks a few words of English" and "speaks English". I probably have Mandarin at the level of Shinya's English, maybe slightly better pronunciation wise, but I wouldn't say I "speak Mandarin".
