Nil [w/ DVD, first pressing only limited release]

First off, I'd like to say EXCELLENT PACKAGING. I love this case to death. However I have to keep it in its plastic because the gold emboss comes off on your hands a little and I'm just paranoid about potentially ruining it. XD The songs on this cd flow together nicely, so the theme of the album is carried well. Gazette has always been a good example, in my opinion, of how old Visual Kei has evolved into what's being called neo-VK, and the album NIL is a good mix of the old and new sounds. This is an excellent cd, and I'd recommend it to anyone who's curious about this band and wants a first cd of them, and also to the already familiar fans of this band. Gazette never really fails to impress- their performances, cd and live, are always exceptionally done and have massive amounts of heart and energy put into them.

When I first of Gazette, they were EVERYWHERE and I couldn't get over the fact that everyone seemed to love them. So I avoided their music. But with new singles like filth in the beauty and regret, my interest was piqued. I managed to snag one of the last copies of the Limited Edition of this great album! I gave it a listen and it was GREAT! They are definitely not an overrated band. the album has all of the darkness and style that I crave, and they're still young and developing their talents and skills! The packaging on this album is awesome and luxurious. However, the PV for Shadow VII II I was a bit of a let down.

NIL is worth every penny and I can honestly say that I like every single song on this album. My favorites are Taion, Bath Room, D.L.N. and SILLY GOD DISCO.
