@@PaleRiderTCG -- Hey buddy, how are you? I hope you are good. Do me a favor. Go find "Carry You" by the band VNV Nation and listen to it... pay close attention to the lyrics. I hope you feel better soon.
Ａ kiss without a word Ａ kiss without a word Ａ kiss without a word… 強がりな 私は強くもないくせに 強がりなまま…。 何もない私は 望むことを捨てて まだ尽くしたいの 奥二重のアナタ 無口なままで Lie Lie Lie Lie… こんな私嫌い？ 私が1番嫌い Do you need me? Do you need me? 泣かない私がいい？ Do you need me? Do you need me? 答えないで… A kiss without a word Ａ kiss without a word Ａ kiss without a word… まだ願う心に淫らに触れて… Lie Lie Lie Lie… 溶けるくらいの傷 それで忘れられる… Do you need me? Do you need me? 泣かない私がいい？ Do you need me? Do you need me? 答えないで… Ａ kiss without a word Ａ kiss without a word Ａ kiss without a word… 裸で 抱き合っても 心は 今日も寒いまま…。
mas allá si alguien pueda gustarle o no este tema, pasa algo interesante. cualquiera yo no haya escuchado antes a la banda y le digas que son experimentales y le presentas este tema como nuevo, pensaría que se vendieron, sin embargo con sukekiyo pasa algo distinto ya que el pop se transforma en una forma más de experimentación, eso queda en evidencia si se tiene en cuenta los otros temas nuevos y llegas a la conclusión que sukekiyo en realidad nunca ha sido una banda pop.
I‘m really disappointed about their recent musical development. all their albums up to infinitum included genius music, versatile, many layers. I pick up an album and with years passing, it feels like I am discovering something new although I have listened to all the songs. since infinitum, their music has gotten really boring. I also don‘t like the electronic elements taking over more and more, because that band has sooo many exceptional talents that are amazing playing their instruments. this song is cool, it is catchy, but I am sure I‘m not gonna return to it in a few years.
I think you might be a bit biased about the electronic influences. It's not like the members stopped playing instruments and what they do now is just as difficult - if not more so because they are shartering new territory with this - than what they did with Immortalis. Infinitum is CRAZY when it comes to the layering and versatility which you prise in their 'earlier' albums. And it sure as hell is genuine music. Valentina seems to be 'lighter' and has this sound that you just wouldn't expect from these guys but it doesn't look like they are going to make an entire album with this sound! [which I don't even think would be a bad idea. I rather like this twist of having music like this mixed with Kyo's unique vocals and overall darker imagry.] These last releases rather remind me of Kyo's early poem book releases - I mean just listen to furesaseru and yumemi doro [and that brilliant demo version of rongai na ikimono toshite]. I don't want to quarral about taste but there is no WAY you can call them boring. To me that's pure suspece.
Kyo is the one who is doing these electronic sounds. I really dig it personally. And day bass tho. Everyone in this band is like a super musician. I've always listened to Dir en grey. So I really appreciate this softer side of Kyo. I think their very different and I know they will continue to change and grow. That's for sure.
The main problem may be the song structure, wich are unconventional but plain (not really a big twist). Also, the tracks don't have a lot of layers or song significance all the time. Since Infinitum they had some highlights in most of the songs (maybe a guitar solo, maybe the guitar or bass tone/work, maybe a crazy but well executed idea...), but the overall lacks that genius and understanding of their ideas that Adoratio showed us. Infinitum sounds like a collection of crazy ideas that sometimes works and sometimes don't, and Valentina is... The same, but it's lighter like Passio said, and maybe because it's shorter sounds way more consistent.
