General chat / Re: X Japan Album.. coming soon!!

« on: May 23, 2018, 01:27:19 PM »

I'm not too sure If this MM bromance is a good thing. Although Yoshiki is very versatile, MM is very different. I am not particularly fond of the idea of a collaboration between them. This being said, maybe I will eat my words and it will be great!

Since it's an international album I'm very optimistic that a booklet with the lyrics will be enclosed. Who knows, maybe there is going to be a special edition with an artbook for all the hardcore fans to buy for *only* 300€ haha - I'm very excited anyways.

However, this may be the last X Japan Album we will get, so I think they should take as much time as they need to feel confident in releasing it. I want them to be successful overseas and that will only happen If they deliver a masterpiece! I hope on the studio version of BTS Toshi's pronunciation will be understandable.
All the other songs are pretty clear to me but the lyrics for BTW are hard to make out, partially because of the high notes Toshi has to pull off.

Speaking of Toshis pronunciation I think he has really stepped up his game. The difference was already noticeable after they reunited. But particularly in these past 10 years after the reunion, he improved even more.

So yea all in all I have a very positive feeling about the album but again Yoshiki... pls stop giving us unrealistic time frames. Take all the time you need and don't get drunk with MM. Who knows what could happen!

When I used to play in a band the mixing was always the hardest. one week for recording and 6 weeks for mixing/mastering....

Let's just assume we are waiting for the new album for 4 years by now (and that's a very generous reduction) if we multiply it by 6 for the mixing and mastering we are looking at 24 years - sounds about right!

Sugizo jumps on the bandwagon to say the album is 99.9% done. 

Oh... that's intresting. Why is he doing this? ^^°

Yoshiki is right though. When Sugizo says it's 99% done, I believe him! xD Now let's see how long the mixing takes...

Yoshiki mentioned in a recent interview they are going to release the new album either summer or early autumn this year but then again he keeps announcing release dates which then get postponed.

I wish he would stop making empty promises, take as much time as he wants and then just let us know when it's actually going to be released!
On the other hand every single time, no matter how often he changes his mind, I believe him when he announces a new date xD It's so frustrating but I can't help it!
