XD Me too! I really want kisou, but it keeps getting pushed back on my buying list ^^;

[ayupi]

lol that always seems to happen with older releases

[paper_doll]

Yeah, it's unfortunate lol

[ayupi]

Do you own any of their DVDs?

[paper_doll]

I have It Withers and Withers only because I bought it at a concert. I was all excited to purchase The Code of Vulgarism, but I didn't see it on the table so It Withers and Withers just flew out of my mouth instead! XD

Do you own any?

[ayupi]

Nice

I bought Vulgarism off ebay XD

So it was a burned copy...but it played both disks really well and it was the whole concert. Plus the quality was good...but I would have preferred a actual copy ~~

[paper_doll]

Vulgarism! <3 I looove that live.

[ayupi]

It's my fav live dvd from diru ^^

*brings back up*

So, the new album's already been leaked. Opinions? Very different from TMOAB.

[Maemi]

I think that UROBOROS is nice, but unfortunately it didn't grow on me. I just can't get used to their new experimental sound. I love the singles they have released so far and i like Red Soil, Vinushka and Bugaboo. And i also prefer the japanese versions of Glass Skin and Dozing Green because i can't understand Kyo's engrish but the music is still awesome. 8D

Anyway, for me, TMOAB is much better. I'm not disappointed, just a bit suprised with their new stuff, maybe i just need time to get used to it^^

what's your opinions?

[paper_doll]

I was really surprised too. It definitely wasn't what I was expecting from them I also agree with you in TMOAB being better. That album I loved right away, but this one needs some time.

My favourite tracks right now are Red Soil, Toguro, Bugaboo, Gaika..., Dozing Green and Inconvenient Ideal. Kyo's screaming/growling (whatever you want to call it) is pretty killer on this album, though.

I think I'm going to wait to listen to the album! I already downloaded the leak, but...I want to save the album for the actual release date! Plus, I need to go about and pre-order the album soon, too...

What version do you guys recommend that I should get? I am definitely buying both the US and JP versions, but the JP version has that "deluxe limited first press" and then the "normal first press" editions. I probably should go for the "cheaper" one since I don't have much money to spare for stuff like this these days (darn, paying bills...), but...I don't know! I've been thinking too hard about this for the past few days

[WillofDusk]

^you should go for the limited edition for the US one to get the LP and stuff and JP version for the normal edition.

I want to order too but the card keeps declining the CHARGEEE XD
ARGHHHHHH

I reckon UROBOROS is their best album. I just love it soo much.

[paper_doll]

^ That's what I'd say... and I'd be doing that myself if I didn't need to save my money And, if you order a US version, I believe there's a link on their MySpace that you can enter a contest (which I think's still going on) for some really cool stuff!

[WillofDusk]

^they already annouced the winner of the draw so you cant really get anything now :/

[sexysaucestar]

Looks like a "free" b3 poster comes with pre-orders at YesAsia...but the first press limited edition there went up in price only in the past couple of days -_-; Doesn't seem like a "free" poster to me!! Oh well.

I pre-ordered both the US and JP versions! Can't wait.

[paper_doll]

^ lol @ YesAsia. I just love how they operate.

@mizu_akira_ayu: Oh, they announced it already? I'm not on top of things I guess lol

[jbrat2219]

I may be alone in this but I like this album better than their previous one... I like the fact that they're experimenting with different influences. However, like most of you said, it something that has to grow on me... My favorites are the Japanese version of the singles, Toguro, Red Soil, Ware, Yami tote..., and Vinushka lol.

Your not alone, I didn't really like that album either, To much screaming music, and not enough soft music. My Favorite song on Uroboros is Inconvenient Ideal^^

[WillofDusk]

I do love this album more htan their old stuff.
I reckon it's their best album ever made.
Very high standard
