Lotus [w/ DVD, Limited Edition] Customer Reviews

This single was O.K. for the most part. Lotus was good lyric wise and Kyo did a good job with his vocals on this. The music itself and guitar work was good. Now to my negative about this single. It may be because I love Shokubeni so much or because I was expecting something of that feel and magnitude be similar but I just didn't like the remake. In my honest opinion I believe the original Obscure was better, in feel and sound. As for the third song I didn't like. I felt it to be somewhat lacking. This is why I gave this single the score I did. I'm a long time dir en grey fan and own almost all their dvds and cds, and while I may not like every song they put out there are always songs that I just can't stop rocking to, (Shokubeni, Vinushka, Obscure, Kodou, Red, umbrella, withering to death, saku, etc) but this single is average, Lotus was good but they destroyed Obscure which was already just perfect and an unmemorable third song which I don't think anyone cares about. Long story short if you like Dir en grey Lotus won't disappoint. If you liked the original obscure then you probably wont like it. The third song suck.
