I had the opportunity to see their live. I’m glad I didn’t. That tracklist looks absolutely disappointing. Clearly they have moved on from their earlier works. Such a shame.
I saw them back in 2016 when they were at their prime and they certainly were great live, but I can’t vouch for them now with their ever-changing line-up and drama.
Since they’ve changed guitarists my interest in the band waned quite a bit. I like Thank you and maybe few other songs after that point. They sound too “western” now for my tastes.
But I kind of enjoyed the live digest movie they’ve put on Youtube. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AU4JnCuVrMs
Their posts on FB are a weird mixture of cringe and desperation. After Cazqui and Daichi left I really wanted to keep following them and see where they’d go, but the sound is uninspired and everything around them makes me feel uncomfortable.
Somehow they went from being one of my favourite bands to absolute oblivion. This is quite terrible. I still can’t believe Meku joined this dumpster fire, but then again, after GALEYD he rode daddy Kamijo’s duck for years, so…
I am probably the only one digging their newer stuff.
(i dont really know a lot from before reviver, so maybe thats why i can enjoy their newer stuff still)
In the first live digest they all look f*cking bored. In that new one at least Valtz/Meku moves a bit around.
Also in case anyone dont know about it, those live digests still mean, their label is getting money from the government because of corona.
Not answering your question, but I checked their website a few months ago and all they had was their newer stuff. That’s why I guess it’s around that time, maybe even sooner.
It might have something to do with their previous label IRIS & CRISIS. Because it looks like everything released under MAVERICK (2019-present) is on streaming services. And the 2012 releases were released under RAIZ.
title of their new maxi-single has been finalized as “THE ONE”
