girugamesh [w/ DVD, Limited Edition] Customer Reviews

This is Girugamesh at their best! This album has an angst that the first one was missing. It's hard and edgy with some soft to balance things out. The packaging is a standard double disc case with a bookelt and OBI. The artwork, however, is top notch. The CD is pleasantly pleasing with its shining gold background with Satochi raising a fist in the air. The booklet is full of pictures from their Euro tour so a lot of fun to look through. The CD is aMAzing! Mucc even makes a guest appearance on the album ! This album has a nice balance of hard songs and soft songs that there's something for everyone. Giru have really solidified their sound since 13's Reborn so everything sounds polished. The DVD contains PVs for Vermillion and Kowarete iku Sekai. (apparently there's a hidden extra too ?.?) Overall I would give this album a 4/5 for it's great music and artwork, but lack of creativity in packaging.

I adore this album so much <3 I love the way that this band is progressing and I love the path that they have decided to take. After listening to the newest album MUSIC, I can definitely say that they are definitely headed for even more success than they have already achieved!

This album was amazing! I'm really glad I bought it. All the songs were great, especially Kowarete Iku Sekai, a very powerful song!

The new album is fantastic- yes it's a little more mainstream, but I believe the musical improvements made by each of the band members still allows for a creative, unique sound. The Limited Edition came with a DVD, but unfortunately a few less tracks (and my #2 favorite is only on the regular edition >_< ...) Nevertheless, I'm happy with the copy I purchased.

I absolutely love this CD. Worth every penny. The last song especially struck a chord with me. Satoshi's vocals are amazing, as usual. And the drumming, wow. Of course the same goes for the guitar playing, though I tend to notice vocals and drumming most. Any fan of Girugamesh should definitely own this CD, if possible.

I ordered this CD as fast as I could and I got it really fast when it was shipped and I was so amazed about how good this album really is! They have taken there music a bit harder but they still keep the giru sound to every song so that is a big + :D The booklet has many nice pictures taken from Germany and the DVD is good :D The hidden bonus documentary is a bit short in my opinon but still fun to watch :D I recommend you to buy this while you can! :D

All in all, love the album. The intro is very cool. Track 2 is very them. Love it. Track 3, Vermillion, great song. My only complaint here is that, unlike all their other songs and albums, where songs tend to fade into one another-the transition from 2 to 3 is a little off, but that's minor.4-6 are good.7, Shining, struck me as too pop and odd for them, but now it's just so catchy, I grew to love it. 8 is good. 9 sounds reminiscent of older 80s and 90s rock, pretty cool. Now track 10 is the absolute hands down best. The beginning has this interesting exotic sound to it and once it really gets started, it's almost heart breakingly beautiful. Satoshi's voice is really strong here. The dvd is great, you get the video for Vermillion and Track 10 (which somehow reminds of me of the introduction of the neo-sapiens in Casshern). And mine came with a patch-which I love. I suspect it may come with all the first press ones as it was inside the packaging itself so I'd suggest getting it while you still can. So...as a major and long time Giru fan, let me tell you, this album does not disappoint. It does have a decidedly evolved sound to it but still sounds like them and is awesome!

it's GREAT an album as high as my hopes, it is tremendous I am impatient to see them live in France there on January 27th
