I will try to post as many reviews as I can, probably a few a month, depending. If you have any, feel free to e-mail them to me!
Kozi- Katarushisu Album released May 30 (?) 2004
I will keep on ranting about this album until I get sick of ranting about it.
It's attack of MM zombies!!! God, I wish they would eat my brain... This album was a disappointment. I know that Kozi was the brains behind a great number of MM songs that we all know and love. And there are a few good songs with a great beat and catchy words and all that good stuff... But MM is DEAD. We all miss them. I was right up there with the top MM fans. (R.I.P. *heart*)
All I ask is a bit of originality from my fave MM member...*sigh*
Inugami Circus Dan- Kami no Inu
You know, although I only have half this album... I'm a bit impartial to ICD. Kyouko has an amazing voice and I think it's cool that the group isn't following the fad of effeminate male groups. The steady rock with traditional japanese tones in the backround are neat. But frankly, some of their songs grate on my nerves... and that's saying a lot. So I recommend maybe downloading a song or two before you go out and hunt down the cd's and pay a ridiculous amount of money for a band you may or may not like.
Schwarz Stein- Artificial Hallucination
I was pleasantly surprised by this album. Sure, it's a lot of techno and anyone can do techno, but until you have heard one of their songs, shut up. >P *ahem* Let's see... Ah, Kaya. Kaya is the lead vocal... He's the only vocal. But damn, what a vocal. I think Kaya is about to kick Gackt and Klaha off their throne. *ducks flying objects*
I recommend you listen to them. Actually, buy the cd. Honestly that's how good these guys are. Every song shifts in tone and beat thanks to our wonderful Hora. It's a fantastic album. Quite possibly one of my favorites.
Dir en Grey- Six Ugly (mini album)
As usual, DEG does a marvelous job. You just can't say anything bad about them. *crickets chirping* Okay, so I do have something bad to say about them... It's.... DEG... A cacophony of noise... I know there is music in there somewhere and at times you can even hear it... but this is definitely not my favorite album of theirs... I rate it around a C compared to some of their older ones... But that's just me. If you must have this album, go buy it. Hardcore DEG fans will love it. The rest of us, well... we're left out in the cold.... I can honestly say that this is a true DEG album though. Kyo is amazing. Toshiya is amazing. Die is amazing. Kaoru is amazing. Even Shinya, who sadly is not on my top four fave DEG member list, is amazing.
Miyavi- Shindemo Boogie-Woogie single released 11-30-2002
Miyavi, Miayvi, Miyabi... That's right. Miyabi. Miyabi has started his own solo career. (For those of you who don't know, Miyavi aka Miyabi was the guitarist for Due le Quartz or however you wish to spell it... how do you spell it?) Well, he's a shocker that's a fact. Shindemo Boogie-Woogie is most definitely my favorite PV ever. The song is amazing too. Who woulda thought that boy has that voice?!? Very pop, very swing, very rock. He has everything in this song. In fact, buy this single just for this song. Forget the other one. (It's shoukyo to sakujyo just so you know. Good song... just not better than Boogie-Woogie...) This single also comes with the PV. *wink wink* Fangirls (and guys) unite! Miyavi is a sex GOD!!!!
