Sadie new album "THE REVIVAL OF DARKNESS" release

nope

honestly this is the era where most of the singles were forgettable and bland (at least for me)

asides Payment of vomiter, regret, true word and 棘-toge- pretty much dislike this entire track list

GIMMICK being one of their worst songs ever

Juggernaut, RED LINE, ever, クライモア and ドレス are basically variations of the same song due to how similar the choruses are

they have way better songs they could’ve picked for a second round of re-recordings

A lot of these songs are what tuned me into SADIE, especially Toge, Juggernaut, and ROSARIO…Hell, I think ROSARIO is a top 5 track.

Im just happy they’re back and i like Ryo’s mixing. Still miles better than whoever was mixing their shit before.

Yeah, man. He’s a producer these days. Basically he has that Modern Metal Production™️ sound down pat, and goddamn if all of his sounds are like bargain bin Nolly.

i remember when girugamesh disbanded and he had been dabbling in production, but i fell out of the jrock scene shortly after that. didn’t realize he had kept it up, wow!

yep, he’s been mixing and mastering just about every release from The Thirteen, so they have been working with him for a while.

i believe there was a post on twitter/X from Mizuki about Sadie being jealous of girugamesh’s sound and that was why they got him for RoS

This is the revival of duckness. Pigs should follow soon in a third one.

i will agree the tracklist doesnt fit the title
this feels like RoS pt 2, doesnt feel that dark. MFP flavor of blood and struggle against betrayal would have made the tracklist darker.

i mean at least we get MFP from the live :person_shrugging:

Strange tracklist yes. The first one was from debut to Master of romance, this one continue in « recent » era but with older tracks.

Also, they did’nt put songs from albums outside singles (and MoR have strong ones) and here we have GIMMICK from Cold blood ? (Which have better songs)
So why not a single one from Black Diamonds (underrated album imo btw, Mukuro, Rain fall and Kanashimi no sanka are very good) and Madrigal de maria ? (I am not sad for Gangsta tho ahah).

Overall I think they could chose better b sides too. I prefer The Heartless or Dustin’ fucker life over PoV from Crimson Tear, Forbidden from Dress, Hakanaki risou wazuka na ai and In Cave from Grieving, Recall from Ice Romancer, BURST ZERO from Crymore (this + CHAOTIC WORLD from Gain and you can feel the word DARKNESS ^^) Break the silence from Rosario etc etc…
Sadie is a band with very good and memorable bsides and can deserve a full bsides remake album but it’ll never happen

Well i’am glad to see some Redline here it was a very strong mini (underrated too…) i love the title track. Happy for Regret too.

Tsurugi and Mizuki always posing the same. Haha.

Having such a good time to go back their discography.
I wonder if I am the only one who loves Jealousy?
This is peak VK imo. Can it even get more catchy than this?

So why not a single one from Black Diamonds

apparently Rosario left the chat because it felt invalid :sob:
(rosario is from Black Diamonds)

what they really need to do is just hurry up and come out with the 3 disc (5 disc for fc) of re-recordings. i’m sure that’s what they really want to do before giving us new material. i get it; they’re excited to have a sound they are happy with. i’m liking the new sound too, i just dont like they are dragging it out.

This is awesome and unexpected, but the first half of that track list is ass. Would’ve liked to have seen some more MADRIGAL or COLD BLOOD tracks on here.

Yeah, I did really like it for some reason. It was fun. The spoken word track and RODEO SCREAM were nice listens.

agreed about those two albums, esp cold blood. would’ve loved to hear a new version of ANY of those tracks off there

Nearly half of the album is from Cold Blood?Personally I would have picked Deathtopia or 砂漠のシンドローム over Juggernaut and Gimmick though

oh yeahhh juggernaut and gimmick! lol i also would’ve liked sabaku no sydrome that’s my fave sadie track

Yeah, I guess you’re right, lol. These are just all my least favorite tracks from COLD BLOOD so I glazed over them.

Graceful Angel, deathtopia and Sabaku no Syndrome would’ve been wayyyy better.

Happy to see Mao still doing Kyo cosplay.

I’ve always wondered how Kyo feels about this? Flattered perhaps?

I hope its something along the lines of what Kiyoharu said to Kyo: “Don’t copy me.”

Mao: okay. copies Kyo forever
