neolog DISTRESS AND COMA 5

After the not-so-good LEECH, the GazettE comes back with a surprisingly great single. I really like DISTRESS AND COMA, it's a great song. HEADACHE MAN is also great, but I vote on WITHOUT A TRACE as the best track on the single. It's a beautiful song, I love it.

neolog Single: the GazettE - DISTRESS AND COMA 5

The GazettE present their first single this year and the last single before the release of their fourth album DIM. Last year the band presented us with two very excellent singles Guren and LEECH, both special in their own way.

DISTRESS AND COMA sounds like a hybrid of the excellent crooked, gloomy song Bathroom thanks to it's dead note filled riffs and creeping, dark atmosphere combined with the elegance, flow and steadiness of Guren. The song has got a very explosive intro that drives into excellent riffs with metal licks all over them. The chorus is intense as always and features some slight vibrato singing by Ruki though slightly repetitive.

On the other hand HEADACHE MAN is insane. And that is a mild attribute for it.
It starts of with some really screeching guitar sounds and then bursts into thick, dark, heavy riffs combined with a crazy beat, rabid scratching, growling, yelling... very Slipknot if you ask me. After the initial outburst they stick on such a mighty, excellent chorus as if it was taken straight from NIL and then the song takes a totally new direction and turns into a very frantic Gazetto version of Dir en grey's Machiavellism with a collective ground shaking chorus and a lot of twistedness that GazettE used to have back in their old, pre-NIL days.
I already sense one of the most bone-braking pieces on their live performances.
So whether you love or damn HEADACHE MAN you must admit that it's a totally different tune by this guys.

The last song of the single is the ballad WITHOUT A TRACE. The song is filled with sharp yet warm acoustic guitars with such a style that I don't believe the GazettE have ever used before, it has got a very westernized feel. But then the song burst out on the chorus, the instruments joins in and everything reaches it's peak on this strong, expressive, quite Guren like chorus. I love the feel that is enveloped in the chorus, a slight melancholic string but filled with a certain warmth and strength, a kind of a ballad that rather makes you lift your head up and smile again rather than putting you more down.

Rare are the bands that manage to deliver songs with such energy, strength, honesty and freshness making it sound like nothing you have heard before yet preserving it's core, as well as to redeem themselves for any downers they have done. DISTRESS AND COMA is another absurdly excellent single by the GazettE, which is compared to the previous singles more of a sure-shot, but a sure-shot that doesn't fail in delivering something new and unheard from this band in the end. The very narrow song structure that seems as if it's going in a straight line does leave an impression that this single is going in a bit westernized way, aimed more at a Western listener.

DISTRESS AND COMA is definitive, unconditional MUST for all GazettE fans as well as a strong recommendation for every fan on intense, rocking Visual kei bands. We can definitely be curious about what DIM will bring this summer.

great single 5

This is The last single from gazette to date and is great but my favourite song is The B-side headache man!!!!!!!
By Victor J @SPAIN (2009/06/09)

Perfect... 5

Simply best GazettE single ever, I really loved it! The song Without a trace is very good. Simply Lovely!
By Felipe Fujimori @BRAZIL (2009/05/26)

Worth buying! 5

This single was definitely worth the money! Headache Man and Without a Trace won me over instantly. Distress and Coma is a great track too and it grows on me every time I listen to it. For fans of GazettE it's the familiar GazettE sound but they're definitely growing. It's something fresh and different, as always, they keep changing it up. :) For new fans it's a great way to see how they can surprise you and to get an idea of their sound.

Amazing! 5

I am blown away by how impressive this single is. I am definitely looking forward to the release of their new album in July!
By Tiffany A. @UNITED STATES (2009/04/09)

Best yet 5

My 'Distress and Coma' cd arrived today and the moment I pressed play in iTunes, I loved every second of each song in this single.

'HEADACHE MAN' really does give you headaches when you headbang to the whole song, lol.
and 'Without A Trace'... as of today, that song is the saddest for 2009. My hands were shaking when I was holding the lyric booklet 'cos I was crying so much.

the GazettE has gone it again, another great single that deserves double the love from me :D

HEADACHE MAN Pre Release Comment

Kai played HEADACHE MAN on his radio show a few days ago, and let me tell you - it blew me away! Just WOW!
One week more of waiting~

Pre-release Pre Release Comment

This will be one of the Best singles the Gazette's ever made since Cassis

All their songs are good but this one tops it, the eerieness, the spine chilling feel of the song makes you really want to listen to it in it's entirety
By Armida @UNITED STATES (2009/02/19)

Waiting in distress and coma >< Pre Release Comment

The preview for the title track was recently aired on Aoi's radio, and I simply couldn't help but think that it's already another amazingly successful work by the band! It's definitely a different style again, but that's what makes the GazettE so versatile. Cannot wait for the PV and the other two tracks! Get this single NOW if you can!
By Romy @UNITED STATES (2009/02/02)

Yay again! Pre Release Comment

Another single! :D I simply couldn't not get it! I couldn't decide between the Auditory and Optical Impressions... decided to go with auditory this time. The Gazette never disappoints, I'm sure this one will be just as awesome as all the other albums they've released ^.^
