Dir En Grey 朧 (Oboro)
This ballad is top-notch, leading to one of their best singles in the last seven years, (apart from The World of Mercy). The mix is better than the last single, and the entire band pushes their already accomplished songwriting ability to new heights. Kyo's vocal performance is simultaneously vulnerable and virtuosic. Also notable is the clever written instrumental. rThe bonus tracks are quite wild. The Curse-filled T.D.F.F is fun, and the Live version of Kegiaku no Yoku is tense and unnerving. This single functions as an accessible introduction to Dir En Grey, and is truly a modern classic.

I was entirely expecting this to be a ?hit or miss? album. But this album is full of fun, driven, and incredibly well written songs.

Steven Wilson The Harmony Codex
Steven’s ambition becomes a casualty to the typical writing pitfalls that have plagued all of his projects since 2019, that
being his apparent inability to write an interesting song. The album lacks flow or true energy, and any momentum is
either killed midway (like the pause in the middle of inclination) or run directly into the ground through excessive
repetition (As in the entirety of impossible tightrope). I grew up with his music, and it’s genuinely disheartening to hear
his new work become so banal and lifeless. This feels like more of an experiment in music production than an actual
album, and it’s a shame that the allure of working with new technology has eclipsed the desire to put effort into writing
the actual music. The production is phenomenal though, and it’s the only thing keeping me from docking another half a
point from this already abysmal score.

1.0 awful
