I read everything you all wrote… but currently “the new DEG” till feels generic to me, but if course if say “the devil in me” came from a different band, it wouldn’t feel generic. **

This is a big problem with the latest songs written/released by DeG. There is no real creativity left. They are their own enemy themselves. Some obviously think “The Devil in me” is a good song but its just copy&paste parts and rehash of previous material. I know most bands that have been famous or a long time end up here, its nothing unique for them.
I rememeber when song like “jesus christ rocknrock” and “rinkaku” came out. Oh good times.
Them now starting with AI music videos as well shows how much they actually care about their music writing/production as a whole. Its things like this that “real” music critics talk about and I don’t say I am one… but you get me, maybe.
I would say the “new deg” started with TIW. That they even would put “ningen wo kaburu” as a title track single is embarrassing. Again here some might like it, that its “catchy”, but its a terrible production. They weren’t able to mix it correctly, or rather that whole album wasn’t mixed professionally. Such a thin sound, like what was the point of Toshiya’s bass lines? In most songs at least.
I can’t sit here and write an essay but the problems continue with Shraudenfaude, such a bloated overlong song just trying to copy Vinushka. If there is one really well written song on the album that stands out its “13” and the only one I would recommend to people, and the radio friendly Oboro is also a good songs that dares to do something a DeG ballad hasn’t done since Arche… uuuuh
