Dozinggreencover

The more I listen  to this band, the more I love them. I think the best word to describe them is "powerful". Gradually, my favourite songs of theirs list is growing. This is their new single, realeased on  2007.10.24.   It's good. Really good.

1. DOZING GREEN
2. Hydra -666-
3. Agitated Screams of Maggots (LIVE)

I have already expressed my love for dozing green. I'lll express it again. Everything about this song is wonderfully done. I love that the screaming is placed in just the right places, and there's alot of singing. The melody too is just genious. It has the emotion and power of songs like "conceived sorrow" and That long titled one from marrow of the bone. You need to listen to this! Especially if you're looking to get into Dir en grey, but are scared of the screamo shit. This isn't anything like this. It's unique rock, done really well. Highly recommended song.

The next track is Hydra 666. Apparently this is a new version of the song "HYdra" from one of their albums. I've not listened to the original so I won't compare. This track starts of really quiet, then goes into crazyness. Then goes quiet. It's weird, but tolerable. Where's the singing? Do I need to turn it up louder? This is a crazy track. What was the original like?!

Laslty theres a live version. The only live versions of their songs I've heard were the ones on the Ryoujoku No Ame ones. They were really good. This one, not so good. Firstly theres a big period of silence at the beggining, and the quality isn't really the best. I'll skip this one.

So.. I think the only thing listening to is Dozing green. Which is  a shame, as Dozing green is really amazing yet the other tracks let is down. Maybe Dir en Grey put all their effort into that one and didn't want to bother with the others? LOL. Pretty good single. But I think I'll stick with just the title track.
