Wow this surprised me I didn’t really follow this band that much before. Interesting makes me curious on the b side what it sounds like
it feels like they get in the last tracks more and more in a dir en grey direction and less mejibray, but honestly I found them in their “Mejibray Era” a lot better. They had a very easy and concrete energy while in this they don’t know how to produce it.

The songs themselves are very interesting, a nice blend of current Vk and 2000s throwback sounds. (tbh, their concept reminds me a lot of Ains bands like Grieva. Their new visual in particular could be that of an Ains band).
But I agree that those odd vocals are holding back the song writing. That high pitched helium voice just doesn’t work with their concept (and I say that as a big Aicle. fan). Imo they fit even less well in their early, heavier style than now. But the music still continues to completely overpower iT’s singing - apart from being a bit grating they also end up being too weak against the instrumentals. The crap mixing doesn’t help here either.
So yeah, lots of potential, but also a large room for improvement. I feel I would be all over them and especially for this single if the singing would be different…

The overall song writing is getting worse and so are the vocals, geez, this wasn’t worth the wait.
What do you mean this was definitely their best one so far ._.
