This album is their most generic imo. But it's a stepping stone that leads to the fucking phenomenal Uroboros.

Uroboros might be my favorite album by them, it's just so consistent all the way through. And Vinushka is one HELL of an opener and then red soil then glass skin then reiketsu then bugaboo then gaika omfg i'm done

Not their best LP, because their best is Uroboros. Ryoujoku no Ame, The Pledge, Namamekashiki Ansoku, & Conceived Sorrow are my faves of this LP.

Lose my shit on Lie Buried With a Vengeance every time, so loud and meatheaded for Diru.

I always feel like this album is trying to be something other than who they are.

That's because it's basically that. It's them pulling their ideas together after the Family Values touring and wanting to cater to a western audience.

Dir En Grey is trying too hard with this one.

The soft songs and some of the pissed off ones are so good, though. Has inconsistencies, but it is really not that bad. Gonzo's review is spot on.

A bit monotone in it's own anger and some of the brutal cuts pass in an undistinguishable blur but the stuff that works really works.
I actually am quite a fan of "Repetition Of Hatred". Something about that intro, even though it's basically a generic breakdown is just so visceral and primal, it makes your guts move (in a good way). And the quiet|loud dynamic between verses and choruses, as well as this weird atonal ascencion towards the end are all pretty sweet additions.

This so hard, also alot of songs from here rule so hard live.

Disabled Complexes will never not be a favorite of mine on this album. Seriously, that song just grooves for days.

Both variants go hard, tbh. I may be partial towards the live rendition, but in the context of this album, I wouldn't hesitate to say that the song's a standout for me.

It definitely is. Live it's another story even for the weakest tracks on the album.
