ngl the only diru track i don’t care for is child prey; everything else seems to live between top tier transcendence and “not bad, not bad”

Phalaris is the least i’ve liked any of their works and even in the time since it’s come out i haven’t gotten much more fond of it. But i still put it on! It’s like a diru album for when i have less attention to pay lol

Child Prey is the ONE and only track so far where like if someone put that one on by itself on a road trip i’d think like okay, what are we doing here, what’s that for.

I feel this way about Child Pray and Agitated Screams of Maggots

Oh man. Child prey and agitated screams of maggots are guilty pleasures for me. I love the hell out of those songs. The guitar riffs are so fun.

The remastered version of child prey sounds even better too. A little crisper than the vulgar mix.

Child Prey is fun when you’re getting rag dolled in the pit. Sustain the untruth has such cool basswork, don’t get the hate.

An actual bad Diru song would be I’ll(gulty pleasure tho) or Grief. My personal track i don’t care for is The Final, it feels boring and bland to me compared to anything on WTD.

I get why people don’t care for the final.

However I will scream-cry and have a emotional breakdown singing it in karaoke every time

Yeah I agree overall Sukekiyo has more psychadelic vibe songs, but they also have so many that could be on DeG albums. And the opposite. And you mentioned his dog band. Yeah what happened to it? Lost the passion after the first few PVs and media attention?

It is by the way pretty shocking that a band with those members can’t even get a million views on youtube. Kodou which is a great song sits at 679k. And I just checked The Devil in me views, 383k… damn :face_with_spiral_eyes: Matenro’s latest great single is at 50k…Are we really that few?… :pensive_face: Well, I wonder what Kyo is working on now!

Actually, I see Petit Brabancon more as a punching bag for Kyo. He’s letting off some steam. I’m not even sure he takes this band seriously, to be honest. :grin:

Dog band is fun moshing music, it knows what it is and does it extremely well.

I can’t speak for everybody, but I imagine that in niche scenes like ours, people are probably more likely to collect media of what they love, and thus less likely to be racking up view counts on YouTube

LOL unless ‘jerky’ or ‘canibal’ appear as song titles on Mortal Downer I think we’re in the clear

side note: when’s the armed revolution taking place exactly?

Wasn’t the MV of 人間を被る about that? I love how cutting that whole saga was with TWoM. But I guess that’s how it is with media in general.

So Japanese VK twitter went off yesterday about how crazy DIR EN GREY are but no one seems to care because it’s what you’d expect from them, other than sex parties I really don’t know what they’re talking about.

from what i saw it was just people reacting to the gazette situation with how the “craziest” (in looks and music, and weird personalities) vkei band has stayed pretty much drama free since 1999.

They had all their drama when they ended La:Sadie’s and are living on drama residuals ever since
