VULGAR Customer Reviews

While 'Kisou' was very different from the two previous albums, it still remained very close in feel only much harder. 'VULGAR' on the other hand is were a huge change occured. It may not be too unusual that after having listened through this album a first time that you'll get the feeling that there isn't very much variation on here when compared to the older albums. That may be true, but the depth and sheer power presented in every song is so undeniably good that it won't matter anyway. Besides, when having listened through it as many times as I have, there's the risk that you'll get addicted to it. Favourites are always hard, but audience KILLER LOOP, THE IIID EMPIRE, SYOKUBENI, SAJOU NO UTA, MARMALADE CHAINSAW, KASUMI, DRAIN AWAY, OBSCURE, CHILD PREY and AMBER are worth mentioning. One thing that's striking is that the total lenght feels a bit short, somewhere under an hour, but it makes for a better listening experience. That's what I love about Dir en grey is that they don't just cram everything tbey've got by trying to reach the 80 minute mark of a CD. An album that simply blows you away, this is one not to be missed. Powerful and epic throughout!
