Given pretty much every single since STU has sounded like _[insert generic and formulaic DEG song here]_, I’m expecting more of the same. ---

Please stop trolling. Come to your own conclusions. And change your username. It’s referring to a racist thing. Not cool. ---

It’s fine I didn’t think you would be able to answer. And I’m not going to justify my username to a TIW hater. ---

> [@zumbah](#): > > Could you describe the formula for me? oh sis just by their single sequence to date, and the title of this I can sort of already ~envision~: - scratchy-scratchy guitar noise - rapid drums blasting in, first suffocated pig squeal - muffled sounds of unintelligible Engrish rap - very loud squeal, first breakdown, loud inhaling gasp and a kyopera howl going onto the chorus part, ten more seconds of howling, an abrupt breakdown and five seconds of silence followed with with slow tapping of grungy, distorted bassline - second pig squeal, another mumble-rap chorus PV will have an abortion closeup (alternative ver. will have an aerial bomb dropping out of the p-ssay) and will be missing 45 seconds out of 2.45 long released song ---

That’s a combination of things that’ve appeared in their singles since Sustain the Untruth but most of them haven’t appeared on more than one of them. You could list 100 more things just to basically say you expect it to sound like something Dir en grey would make and not like something Madonna would make - which we have Sukekiyo for. In terms of keeping it varied Dir en grey already sits at the top of bands and that’s just for singles which are already expected to be more accessible songs and thus less varied. So complaining about this aspect just feels like desperate pessimism. Also Kyo has not rapped in English but I’m assuming you mean the style or something. Or the “Blessing to Lose Heart” part which is one of the less rappy parts of that song and very intelligible. And if you tell someone who is familiar with the core genres that Kyo does pig squeals they will be confused but I get what you were talking about. ---

“The Devil” being “in me” is clearly referring to Kaoru and Kyo’s secret, debaucherous, love affair. And I’m here for it ---
