Dir en Grey concert 9/7.

And I can't figure out if I want to go. What a dilemma. They used to be my favorite band, and hell, I could swallow the shit from Marrow of a Bone, but not only have they become lyrically retarded, but their music lacks... music. Great. Great. You can smash on your instruments and make noise, what happened to the music? What happened to the bass lines and amazing guitar riffs?

I'm not even one of those people that wishes they'd go back to their Visual days (fuck that gay ass homo shit right there), but I wish they'd go back to Withering to Death or Vulgar. I remember when I first got Withering to Death and just, damn, aside from a track or two that was just senseless screaming, it had some beautifully written tracks. I mean, seriously, beautifully written if you could ignore some of the super angsty lyrics when translated.

Fuck. What happened to my favorite bands? I do not get this shit. No wonder nearly everything I listen to is mindless pop.
