CLEVER SLEAZOID

I had to buy this single because in the cd Marrow of a Bone it was re-mixed and I like the original version more. I love how Kyo sing's in english It's all about the attitude baby and I have more respect for Shinya now. He is such a powerfull drummer in this single. I have never been a big fan of Dir en grey's live material, but It's a good reminder of their lives.

This is perhaps my second favorite single by Dir en Grey ( #1 being The Final). The song Cleaver Sleazoid is awsome and the line "One day I will ... your parents!" is hilarious. Kyo isn't great in English as shown in Child Prey already, but it makes the feeling of the song even better. It's always fun listening to the imperfect live recordings of songs also.

I've loved this song since the first time I heard it, and after having listend to it 62045 times, it just gets better! When I first got to know "CLEVER SLEAZOID", I had no idea the controversy it had stirred up among fans, and it's very clear that you either love it or hate it. I've made it clear where I stand. One thing I find laughable is when people slam Kyo because his English is "bad". Okay, his pronounciation is not correct at all, but first off, I don't think he wants it to be and second, that's the whole point of it anyway! I think it's boring when singers switch between languages flawlessly. I love to listen to a Dir en grey song and then look at the lyrics and go: "I had no idea that was in English!!!" Anyway, the lyrics are great and it has the best line ever written [Yes, you all know which one I mean!] The additional live tracks are a nice bonus, even though they're not perfect. A really great single!
