Dir en grey

[Krampus]

I was just wondering and bored...

 

[yun]

I voted teh first one but saying that i don't love them dosen't mean i hate them now ^^ it's just when i listen to their actual music it doesn't make feel anything v_v'

 

[Krampus]

well the newer stuff makes me feel something and that is: gosh how lame...

 

[Garnet in the Eden]

I voted for the second one, but I really love the song DOZING GREEN.

 

[Miruku]

Voted for the last one in lack of an opinion that suits how I feel about them...
Withering to death and the singles released between Vulgar and WtD are my favourites out of Dir en greys time, and I also like Vulgar a lot. The things before that are ok and I like them, but don't listen to them that much, and the same goes for marrow and that kind but I think they overdid it. They are great and I still love them, but not as much as I used to do two years ago... And I rarely listen to their newest music. It doesn't touch me at all.

 

[Krampus]

thats exactly the point. their music doesnt touch anymore. well, maybe if you are totally new to JRock, going through puberty, or like uncreative music, then yes.

 

[Jae]

I love everything up to and including Vulgar. After that, no thank you.

 

[winterborn]

I like Dir en grey, but there are definitely bands that I like better...
I like the newer stuff the most though, since I'm into metal

 

[Camuflagem]

"No, i hate Dir en grey. They are annoying."

Pretty much.

 

[shazzer]

I prefer their older songs.

 

[navate]

I've always enjoyed them.

Kisou is my favorite album of theirs, but I like GAUZE as much as I like Marrow. I'm a big fan of both 90's VK and heavy music, so the change hasn't bothered me.


And a note, just in case: The whole old-school Dir en grey vs. post-VULGAR Dir en grey debate is possibly the most tiresome and aggravating subject in Jrock. If this thread implodes into a shouting match about which era sucks/rocks most, I'm locking it like there's no tomorrow. So behave yourselves and respect everyone's differing tastes. YE HAVE BEEN WARNED.

 

[Eville Von Random]

I agree with navate in the comment although I admit that I've never listened to the songs from their Gauze album.

 

[Lilly]

I hate DeG, they are annoying.

They only have a few really good songs I like..that`s all..

 

[Elec]

thats exactly the point. their music doesnt touch anymore. well, maybe if you are totally new to JRock, going through puberty, or like uncreative music, then yes.

This is like the Godwin's Law of this thread.

 

[Halvorc]

They were cool during the Vulgar and Withering to death days. They were really bad before and became really bad after, but not as bad as their first albums.

 

[Sumire_hitsugi]

They are the first band that got me hooked on the Japanese music scene. I was so, so into them . . . Deg was about the only band I would listen to. Of course I discovered other bands (BUCK-TICK kicked Deg off the #1 spot) and about 3 years ago I stopped on intently following up on their activities and releases. Just because.

I don't hate them. I could care less on what direction of music they want to pursue. I still listen to them, just not on a heavy basis that I used to do and listening to new (non-sample) material will take me a good half year to get to because I am lazy.
My favorite albums/eras are Macabre (YES MACABRE D=) through VULGAR.

 

[Garnet]

No. I used to like them but not any more.

...now when hearing DeG, it's just like...~meh, dont see anything interesting in their music nowadays

 

[Kiaiku]

I only listen Macabre ( I think it's their best album) and sometimes Gauze.

 

[Iskanderia]

This poll presupposes that everyone has strong feelings about them either way. There needs to be an "I have no real opinion on DeG" option and/or an "I think they're ok" option.

Me? I think they're ok. That's about it.

 

[Florescent Muffin]

I used to love them. Then they came over here and started to sound like every other American band. I started to listen to them because they were different and now that they sound like everyone else, I'm not interested anymore. My favourite album is VULGAR though.
