Dir En Grey – Grief (English)

• 0
  My Opinion:Kyo doesn't "slur" English. He's unintelligible. He's had no practice using it, and also does not give a fuck, thus the heinously lazy pronunciation and complete lack of emphasis on the correct syllables.
  
  I feel like people forget that Kyo is pretty uneducated (not stupid). Yeah, Japanese learn English in school, but Kyo said himself that he pretty much flunked all his classes and he only ever finished the American equivalent of the 9th grade. I'm pretty sure he just... does not know how to speak. He might've taught himself enough to write semi-grammatically correctly, but as far as speaking goes I'm sure he never even tries to do it right.
  
  That said, Kyo fucking rules. Dude's a badass, no question.

  General Comment:are you kidding me? The vocals are perfect. The main reason i like diru is because of Kyo's inhuman vocal range. i've never met anyone who can scream squeal sing croon and make sounds like a dying cat lol (my favorite) all in one song. I hope he never improves his english i love it the way it is :D

  General Comment:This isn't my favorite Diru song, but I was addicted to it from the first time I heard it (even when I didn't like it at first, if that makes sense, I couldn't stop listening to it or get it out of my head). To me this song is about anger towards religion, or just hypocritical ass-holes in general. I think of this song whenever I'm at church, I just wanna scream "Shut up, that's fucking bullshit!!!"

  General Comment:Dear God...this is my FAVORITE Diru song. That may get me a few eyebrows raised, but it is. Just from the beginning with the twin guitars, it hooks me every single time. And Devildo-san, if all you hear is "Fuck off" then I suggest you listen more closely. Each syllable he makes has its own pitch, uniquely emotional in its own way. The segment approaching the end, when he screams at several different octaves and volumes, is the crowning moment of the song. I can also feel like I'm part of him in his screams. He does it like no other, and I feel a closeness that no other singer has conveyed before, with a few exceptions on particular songs. Never before has a band connected with me on more than two songs. The first time I heard Kodou (I was sitting in my room writing) I just collapsed and wept when he did his two perfect, heart-wrenching, guttural, poetic, divine screams. I grew to appreciate songs like Dead tree and Saku more, and also the odder ones, like [KR] Cube and ZOMBOID. But his screams rank at the top of the list for why I love Kyo. And this song (I think the only really good song on Marrow) is his transcended, flawless, beautiful gushing of those dark humors of his. He bares his soul in his voice, telling of wounds with words, but showing and sharing them with his screams. I thank you, Kyo, for letting me take some of your pain for myself...

  General Comment:Y'know, as much as I'd hate to think of political songs, the way I'm gonna see this song is as one of a political nature.

  General Comment:This song is insane!!I didn't like it at first, but changed my mind after realizing it's really good to listen to when you're pissed, especially when you're pissed off at people who are full of bullshit!
