Apparently the SCLL album is actually a double album. Or whatever "two releases" is supposed to mean. (Damn you google translate)

Also, Lostage mini-album in september. And 54-71 just released an album yesterday (anybody hear that yet?).

Heh, I know this is old, but can someone recommend me some J-rock bands that are popular? Apparently, I have a hard time finding some, since everyone's bashing every "popular" j-rock band

(my friends)

Anything would do~!.

So far I have been listening to The Gazette.

Thanks ^^

After listening to it just once I'm going to say this is ~~probably the album of the year~~ really, really good.

I think ZBIII had a damn near perfect flow throughout the album. Pop, noise, funk, rock. It did it all and it was all really good.
I think there's a disconnect between the synth ballads that open and close ZB4 and the funk-noise that's in the middle. Both sides are good but I wish they had been able to connect them somehow.
