Dir en grey - Agitated Screams of Maggots

STOP. CANNON TIME. Here's where I give my (underappreciated) opinion on Dir en grey, once again! Ah yes, ah yes. So, here's the lowdown.

LOL DIS SINGL SUX ITZ SOOOO WESTURN OMG I H8 DEEROO NOW I WSH DEY WER STIL VK!11!111!1!!!1 2 MUCH SKREEMIN KYO SUX GRRHRHFRDGG DEY KOPY FVT BANDZSZZ I KAN HEER IT GAAH DEYRE SO LAZYYYYY

:| Happy? I bet not because I just made a mockery of mose Diru 'fans' who stick around just to be annoying and like a wrench in the gears. I don't mind bad reviews-- but when someone repeats themselves over and over without ANY good points that actually could be used in a conversation and not a bash/attack, that's trolling, Officer. That's pretty much what everyone does, except us few who actually like it. There's no way to justify hanging around and just over and over saying the same tired lines about every time they do ANYTHING, even announce TOUR DATES. It all comes down to this: Take your bland VK bands, and just leave. Damn. Is it that hard to realize the band doesn't give a rat's ass what you think about their current direction? Obviously, if they've done a repeat offence for two albums, going on three, they WANT to do this. So.. in short, shut the hell up.

So anyway! With my nearly-no-holds-barred-I-bet-if-people-read-this-I'd-be-flamed-by-total-jerks rant out of the way, I shall now actually review this thing.

The main.. song.. thing.. it's just what I wanted. It's almost perfect. All it's missing is a grooving breakdown and a nice quick blastbeat. Other than that, it's a great direction for them to go in, because, face it, he'll probably sing this better live. (See: Sleazoid) He doesn't have to do any showoffy stuff here, which he seems incapable of doing due to him using too much of his energy at once, so he should be able to at least not be absolutely terrible. But, back to the single. The production is much better than anything post VULGAR. Everything's pretty clear, and Kyo isn't buried or overpowering. Shinya's audible! It makes me smile... almost. Well, actually, the only sad part is when the song ends.

So, next, we have the live ones. THIS is what people should be ragging on, instead of the single-- the single was awesome. This, on the other hand.. this is just.. not acceptable. I'm sure if they release it on some DVD it'll be just fine. SEEING Kyo make the errors somehow soothes the mind. After it's been raked up by the horrible sounds he makes during clean vocal parts. ..Then you can tell, the horrible sounds are caused by him overworking himself. So, all is well by then.

Okay! There we go! I just let out a little frustration at fanbases and reviewed a nice single while at it. I even listened to it twice! Now, I'll wait to see if anyone gets mad enough to comment or something. See you next week when I will probably review... something recent. Whatever comes to mind. XD
