Dir en Grey
- saku

(only mp3s: no album: no cover!)

 


Note: 6/10, because one good song among 3 songs in all really isn't enough.

We're gonna make it simple:
Machiavelism: good... I think I will get bored with it after a while, but for now it' s fine. Nice riff to begin, then a darker/heavier atmosphere, and some others: one of these mid-tempo songs they usually do so well: this one isn't exceptionally good, but it' s good.
saku: here we go to something I like far less... I even think that, if it happened to be part of their next album, it will be one of these songs I automatically skip, like IIIrd Empire on Vulgar! To sum up, it' s a kind of accumulation of heavy rythms/riffs, as to pretend a "we're meeeeaaaaan bad guys!" kind of attitude, except that it ends as an interesting accumulation of sounds, that definitely doesn't "speak" to my ears. Ok the chorus is better, but when you see that people are trying to look for such arguments, it probably means that the song isn't so great...
G.D.S.: simple version: it' s a studio version of the music that has been the introduction to Dir en Grey's concert for one or two years. And I never liked this music... I even always skip it when I watch a live video, or at least lower the sound! Still, I'm not representative of Dir en Grey's fans in general, and a lot of them had asked for this song: now they have it: fine. + They had a good idea after this song: as it is used to introduce their concerts, they decided to play a studio-live of I-forgot-what-song (I KNOW this song, it' s only that I'm usually very bad at saying "this is this song!"-games...), as inviting us to a mini-concert (of one song) or whatever... I don't express it very well, but I understand myself, and I like the idea!
