I personally don’t care either way. Typically, I like when a band drops at least 1 track to give us an indication of what direction a new album is going.
In the case of dir en grey, they already released the devil in me as a single, so that’s enough for me. But I wouldn’t mind another track to wet the appetite.
Just don’t do the 15 sec teasers for each track. I actually quite dislike that approach as I think it cheapens the initial reaction to a full listen. I always end up listening for the part I heard on the teaser instead of being fully engaged.
Typically yes. You used to be able to get the album on Japanese iTunes a day early if you were in the US because of the time difference – but I don’t think you can really do that anymore because of Apple Music replacing iTunes.
Oh I sure do it all the time lol. I used my Japanese iTunes account to buy Arlequin’s album the day before it was available in the states and I 100% plan to do it again with Dir’s lol
