They dress up like MARILYN MANSON rejects and sing in Japanese. Ya gotta hand it to anyone crazy enough to take a chance on this band, supposedly one of the biggest in the Land of the Rising Sun — I can't picture hordes of English-speaking kids flocking to this scattershot mixed bag of twisted, melodic metal, but stranger things have happened.

DIR EN GREY like to mix things up — take the third track, which sports a melodic chorus that would sound great on the radio, bookended by filthy distorted thrash parts and bellowed death metal vocals. Or track five — which comes up as a bunch of Japanese characters on my iPod — a syrupy AOR song with vocals smooth enough to bring FALCO back from the grave. There's jagged bits of punk, SLIPKNOT moments, silly chipmunk vocal parts, death metal bellows, and chunky riffs all thrown into a blender and set on "anime."

The whole thing just sounds a little too intentionally goofy and disjointed to these ears. The singer usually has a great, bombastic chorus to throw in, although he could well be using the same one for every song, but the rest of this is like some kind of neon snow globe. It's all flashy and distracting, but there's very little of substance behind it. It's their fifth album, and they've obviously got fans, no doubt attracted to the manic energy they admittedly exude. But after all the brash hoopla contained here, almost nothing sticks in your memory, and DIR EN GREY is consigned to novelty status.

Download "Dead Tree", and if you like it, imagine it doused in sugar and festooned with marshmallow bits. That's the rest of the songs. I freely admit that I may just not get it, but "Withering to Death" does absolutely nothing for me.

30 PÄIVÄÄ!!! Vähänkö en jaksa oottaa ;;___;; Tää on aivan järjettömän kaunis!

Drowning while I fall [breakout]

Sick of myself
The quiet moon, love's desire
So I wish for myself
Eternally imperfect

Time is coming, give me some courage
Running throughout the forest trying to escape.
Time is coming, give me some courage
I was closing myself off for a long time withdraw within.

I pray to find a place where to leave my pain.
Somewhere I can hide. Shut out!
I am looking for a place where I can cry.
I want to grasp that hand.

The red shooting star, please penetrate my body
[Hold out...your hands] Burn out completely my fragile drowned heart.

Sick of myself
A certain love, the dream's fantasy
So I wish for myself
My body, sinful beloved

I pray to find a place where to leave my pain.
Somewhere I can hide. Shut out!
I am looking for a place where I can cry
I want to stain that hand.

The red shooting star, please guide me with light
[Hold out...your hands] I was continuing to cry out my voice into the highly empty sky...

I have no place to hide. Can't escape.
To the direction of your crying voice
The red shooting star, please guide me with light
[Hold out...your hands] I release my voice to the highly empty sky

I hold onto a trifling hope...Now I shall go to where you are.

Sinne siis<3

Rusty chain, lament over freedom with oozed tears
Sin of opening legs that were refused, desire, weakness, blubber crazily
What is the real freedom for you? I am tired of hearing vague replies
Is the real freedom for you death? Please commit vague suicide right now
Lost footing in a spiral staircase, laughing and shouting like a screaming machine, you are almost there
In front of the real hopeless life ahead of it ... nobody helps you
I want to be loved more than anybody, being backbitten again
Terminate sweet days that produce stickiness
Supressed night when laughter changed into a scream
Even that girl who was a friend pretends not to see it
bye bye trading bye bye trading
give me ... your love
Please to the dry mouth ... yours
I want to be loved more than anybody, being backbitten again
Terminate sweet days that produce stickiness
Children who are born while laughter changes into scream
Pretend not to see it every time my love vanishes
