While their post-Withering to Death works are certainly more varied and engaging, Macabre is an example of classic Dir En Grey expanding their craft with some of the most engaging and catchy songs of their career, despite some not aging as well with time.

Going into this with fresh ears and an unbiased mindset made this more enjoyable this time around. This is ?Gauze? 2.0, just a little more experimental.

Tricky one this. Quite a radical change from a very radical album. On Macabre, DEG take the experimentations found on Gauze and crank it up tenfold. Every single song is pure experimental metal, be it trippy sludge dirges, creepy sampling, or five-minute vocal choir freakouts that wouldn't be out of place on an anime adaptation of Lord Of The Rings. The songs still possess the same power they did on Gauze, but unfortunately are generally less memorable, not to mention everything after the title track is mostly forgettable (and Taiyou no Ao may be the gayest thing the band has done). However, the sheer experimentalism and dark power of the album still makes it required listening. A flawed masterpiece that could have been a classic

I think my friend was on my account and did this. I don't listen to this band.
