Review by Candydive

This is the greatest DVD I own and about the only live concert DVD I have which never gets boring or makes me want to skip sections. The bonus DVD is just as good too, some cute and funny stuff. All those people that say Gazette have changed for the worst since going major (and they are not major anyway) don't know what they're talking about. Gazette are still as awesome as ever and as someone who has seen them live they give an amazing performance and love every minute of it. This DVD just reminds me of how amazing they are live. Also the presentation of the whole DVD is just gorgeous and so well laid out X3

Every release from Gazette seems to get better and its great to see some nice hard rock again X3. Rich excrement and FITB great songs if a bit sick XD (FITB is anyway) It's a good pv too and you get the making of as well :D

If this album is along the same lines as Agitated Screams and Ryoujoku no ame then I'm not looking forward to it. I'd like some singing in my songs not just screaming. Agitated screams just sounded like the majority of western metal. I just hope there is some singing in this album like WTD had and that there are some actual Japanese songs and not just bad English.

I've been a fan of Gazette since 2004 and how far they've come and improved continues to amaze me. I wasn't too worried about getting this album and not liking it because I doubt that would have happened. I can happily say Gazette have very few if any disappointing singles and albums. To anyone who wants to buy this it's worth it just for the beautiful velour case alone. When my copy arrived I did actually spend a few minutes admiring it and even now I store it in bubble wrap so it doesn't get damaged or dusty. As for the actual album some songs definitely have a dark feel(Taion, maggots) whereas others are truly beautiful(cassis, D.L.N) and as always Gazette's own brand of rock is showcased(SHADOW VI II I, Valetta) it's a great mixture of music styles and moods. For people new to Gazette who want to buy an album I'd definitely recommend NIL as opposed to Disorder which has more of a hard punk/rock sound/feel. The change and improvement in Ruki's vocals and the rest of the bands musical skills is clearly audible and I look forward to all future releases

I was so excited when I heard 12012 were releasing a full album though honestly I didn't know what to expect. I was worried in case it wasn't as great as previous releases but after listening to it that worry vanished. This is an amazing album and I was shocked how good it is when I first heard it. I love 12012s hard and heavy style but it was a refreshing and pleasant change to hear different music styles such as cheeky doll and queer passion. The bonus DVD PV of Icy cold city was another great perk to this album especially with that being one of my fav songs by them. Mine also came with a Tomoyuki(ba.) trading card which made me especially happy. Though Wataru(vo.) is my favourite Tomo is definitely a very close 2nd.
