The Past, Present and Future... 5

The wait was unbearable, but I waited till it was dark outside when I plugged this disc in. It didn't take any longer than the first second to have me in complete trance all the way through till the last second. The only thing I could say was that it was probably their best album yet.

After having listened to so many times that I know every single detail in the songs, I can say that it truly is. Why is really not that easy to explain under 2400 letters, but I'll try.

SA BIR is the greatest instrumental opening I've heard from any band - period! VINUSHKA is not only a great insight to what the whole album will feel like, it's their most epic song ever! The two delicate singles GLASS SKIN and DOZING GREEN could never have prepared one for the powerful darkness this album holds. INCONVENIENT IDEAL which closes the album is their most emotional song ever.

Really, there's no point in talking about every song because they are all perfect! I can't even pick favourites, I just thought I'd say how the album starts, how it is somewhere in the middle and how it closes. The amount of hard work put down in this album is astonishing as DIR EN GREY manage to push themselves in a direction that make them better and better with every album which is something I can't think of any other single band have ever accomplished.

The unplugged disc contain 3 tracks once again and they are just as great, if not better than those from the previous album! In particular RED SOIL which also feature completely re-recorded vocals. The DVD is nice with some interviews as well as two songs performed live in the studio. I have yet to listen to the vinyl records, but that will definitely happen one day.

UROBOROS is so great that I can't possibly imagine how their next album will ever manage to top it, but I've said the same thing in the past with their previous albums as well and they always prove that they know how. They managed to capture the past, present and future of themselves with their darkest album yet.

Incredible. All perfect. 5

All the transaccion was perfect. The ship was in status perfect. And very fast. All right. thanks.
By Laura GN @SPAIN (2009/03/02)

Haven't bought it yet! 5

Hello! I haven't bought it yet, but I know it's going to be good! Before I put that much money out, I'd like to know something if anyone will help me.

I want to know EVERYTHING that's included:
Stickers, posters, CDs, EVERYTHING.

Details please!!!

Worth It 5

Though the pricetag might throw you off, it's worth every penny. The quality of everything included payed for itself. The music was awesome too, everything from "Glass Skin" to "BUGABOO"...amazing. Loved that it was delivered fast and in beautiful shape. Thank you Cdjapan!
By Bethany @UNITED STATES (2009/02/25)

Killer Release 5

This is definitely a big leap from their previous album release(Marrow of a Bone). While many would still flame them for producing weird/thrashy/noisy songs, I like the direction they are heading.

Unlike many albums released these days which are reliant on the A-Side songs, the B-side songs for this album hold up very well. Inconvenient Ideal and Doukoku to Sarinu are just a couple of the B-side songs I liked.

While this album would have its share of critics, I would still highly rate this album as one of the best JRock release for 2008.
By trohorse @SINGAPORE (2009/01/25)

Phenomenal 5

When I ordered this, the cover art hadn't even been released. It was something of a leap of faith, shelling out that much money for something I hadn't seen/heard yet, but it paid off bigtime!
The album itself is a remarkable work of art, taking the best elements of old Dir en Grey, and infusing some unique new aspects; it's brutal, yet beautiful, relentless yet melodic. Sonic soundscapes, blistering guitars, furious beats, and (of course) frenzied vocals.
The packaging for this limited release, was a treat in itself (the description doesn't do it justice) it looks gorgeous!

There has never been a better time to be a fan of, or discover dir en grey!
By Acharis @AUSTRALIA (2009/01/06)

Amazing~! 5

I defiently did not expect this CD to be this good, not talking about the music but the way everything was put together!
The case that everything came in is perfect, its much bigger than I would have thought, i was so happy when i opened it.
And the CD itself is perfect, Kyo's vocals are outstanding, especially on the LP version of BUGABOO theres a bonus track where Kyo sings without any background music.
The unplugged disk was also very good i love it, and they lyric book that came with it was amazing, i defiently wasnt expecting a hard cover book!
The only thing i didnt like was the DVD had no subtitles, i wasnt expecting any at all, but it would have been nice.

I defiently recomend this to anyone, although the price is quite high, it was toally worth it ^-^

Dir En Grey as great as ever 5

If you've followed the evolution of Dir En Grey, you might feel like me, that this album is very fitting. Although they are more popular in America and have toured there, I believe Dir En Grey have sticked to what they'd done numerous times: A different sound, one they FELT like going with regardless of inter-genre snobbery. It is one of the reasons I love them. They love music, explore genres and guide fans through amazing sounds!

Yes it is different, but it's totally Dir En Grey. If you have any respect for music and this band, you will see it for what it is: Another masterpiece.

This limited edition is beautiful. It's truly a collectors piece. Even if it was expensive, I feel it was a fair deal ;)
By Trish @CANADA (2009/01/01)

Better than I thought 5

After "the marrow of a bone" I was pretty worried about their style and which way they would take in terms of style and music.
But Uroboros showed its potential right after the intro. It is a wonderful album and comes with the right amount of quality features with this limited edition.
By Hybris @GERMANY (2008/12/09)

I ADORE it! 5

I bought this merely for the fact that Its Dir En Grey, Japanese LIMITED edition, collectors item, you know, that whole schtick. I just picked it up today, and at first, I was squealing like a fangirl over the packaging... Now, I'm listening to it, and its beautiful. I've yet to watch the dvd, but i have one this to say; Glass Skin made me cry. I wasn't expecting it. First I was listening to Kyo's voice, and then the very next moment the tears started to fall.Its very moving, even if you don't understand it. (Thats what the lyric book is for. TRANSLATIONS.)

Overall, I love it.
