Dir En Grey's full-length debut recording Gauze already made for a fantastic listen. With its pop appeal and an ability to strike a totally fine balance between melodic, downright abrasive, and even unsettling moments, the record is an almost timeless one, and boasts extreme replay value. That said, the Japanese experimental metal group's 2015 live album is something that I implore you to really sink your teeth into. Tour14 Psychonnect -mode of GAUZE- - largely featuring tracks from Diru's first album as well as "Rasetsukoku" off Macabre, "Aoi Tsuki" via Missa, and "Rinkaku" and "Sustain the Untruth" off Arche - proves that the band's material translates extremely well in regards to live performances. The emotion from the studio versions of these tunes is still present, and sometimes even amplified. Hearing latter-day Dir En Grey perform earlier songs undeniably showcases how much the band has grown over the years; they've not only improved as songwriters, but they also became superior musicians in the process. Bravo, boys!
