So, 13 years later, Okami Records finally(?) are releasing their earliest releases digitally on Spotify etc. (MISSA → six Ugly).

Wow, DIR EN GREY is not longer popular? #1 song on the charts is listened by 21 people? Remember the days the first track had at least 5000 listeners...

22 years ago, on January 24, 1997, DIR EN GREY played their first ever show at Nagano J. Kyo, Kaoru, Die and Shinya arrived the day before and met Toshiya in a parking lot. They stayed at Toshiya's parents' house over night and on the next day, they booked two hours in a studio to rehearse. In the evening, there was an event and the future members of DIR EN GREY performed on stage together for the first time. Since they had not thought of a band name, they called themselves DEATHMASK and played around four Kuroyume cover songs. Toshiya also performed with D+L as their support guitarist on that evening. So since it's already the 24th in Japan, today marks 22 years since the true beginning of DIR EN GREY! 😊

I think we all compared the mixning with their other albums, I mean they must fit together, if you put them on shuffle and the mixing atmosphere is not equal, it will sound strange...

Spotify's tags are all over the place regardless with all the (deluxe version)s, - explicit versions - etc. Apparently they use the tags they receive from the bands/labels, which I presume in turn use the tags from their EU/US releases at least in western versions of the app. I have no idea whether there will ever be an EU version of TIW, though, so who knows where these newest ones were pulled from.

Thanks for the info! I suppose the late release date was also the reason TIW wasn't available for purchase during their concert last week, which is a bit... silly, to say the least. Otoh, the newest album available was DSS, so who knows what was going on in that department.

I tried to get their band name corrected to DIR EN GREY (all caps) on Spotify through contact with Okami Records, they should try correct it, however the romaji tags are probably not getting corrected on Spotify, we should try get them redirected to their kanji tags through last fm, sadly this is more difficult now than before, I redirected almost all their discography with the contacts I had several years ago, sadly last.fm is not the same community that it used to be..

"Suggest a correction" is not working at all, trust me! They even said this function only applies if MANY users vote yes/no... I'm more active on MusicBrainz, and I feel I can contribute with correct information via MB than sitting wasting time on Last.fm, as they are importing the tracklists from data given to MusicBrainz. Red pictures are a great way, but people only getting annoyed and voting them down and continuing scrobbling with their same tags. Last.fm back in the shining days were a more user friendly community, ever since CBS took over, it's a completely other kind of community.

Final thoughts on The Insulated World... I really love some of the songs and I don't think it's a bad album. Tracks like Keigaku no yoku, Aka, Celebrate Empty Howls, and Ranunculus are great. However, I can't help but feel disappointed with the overall experience. The production ruins a lot of the enjoyment for me. I also think the singles Ningen Wo Kaburu and Utafumi are by FAR the worst tracks on the album, with the LP version of Utafumi being almost unlistenable compared to the single version. This album desperately needs a remaster.

Still waiting for this album to grow on me. So far it fails to captivate me like Arche did. By comparison, TIW almost feels too simplistic or stripped down, for lack of better words. The muffled mixing doesn't help either. Is it me or this is the case with all their studio albums? Looking forward to listening to all these songs live and hope I will eventually enjoy this album.

Human nature. Arche was my introduction to DEG and I guess I can't help comparing the rest of the albums to this particular one.

Actually for this album, the band wanted to work with simplicity and straight forward, that has been the idea from start and you could assume that already two years ago with the 'Utafumi' single release. Personally I think most songs will make justice during a live performance.

I haven't been keeping track of the single releases. I just listened to the album now. I am sure of that! I also prefer the live versions of their songs.

My favorite is "Followers", next one is probably "Keigaku no yoku". However, I agree to say there is something disappointing with the mixing of this album...

Everyone hating on TIW do realize that it's an intentional throwback to the Vulgar/Six Ugly/Withering era, right?

The Insulated World is mostly pretty disappointing. Zetsuentai is easily the best track and it isn't even close. Just feels way too stripped back and simplified, riffs replaced with metalcore chugs, edgy aesthetics, etc. Guess I'll stick with Uroboros/DSS/Unraveling/Arche until their next one...

Keigaku No Yoku and Zetsuntei are those kind of songs for me, even if I get what you are saying. Keigaku No Yoku could have been 5 minutes longer for instance, and I wouldn't mind if Zetsuntei got some more time to build up atmosphere. I really hope they continue in that direction for the next record. Ominous and dreamy.

That’s the first album of theirs I listened to, and what made me a fan of their music. It remains to this day my favourite DIR EN GREY album. Can’t believe it’s almost ten years since the album released. Oof.

Been listening (fapping) to this (boy)band since their Gauze (Goatse) era in my junior high school (gay sauna) teenage (twink) years. They were one of the first big (cocked) Japanese Visual Kei (tranny pr0n) bands along with X Japan (.XXX) that got my attention (boner) while I had an interest in Japanese exotism (lol weeb). Kyo (Grumpy dwarf) had this strange charisma (LOL) to himself while performing (go-go dancing) on stage. But the band got off my radar (gaydar) right after Wtd. (Withholding the dildo.). Years later to my surprise (buttsecks) I discovered they were still not disbanded with the (sperm) release of DSS (Dildo Safe Sex). I could barely recognize them and was pretty (anally) excited to see them in a radically new (gay) light.

What audio format are you listening with? Because you all sound like you know nothing about audio and you expect streaming and mp3 rips to sound good.

Yes the Sound of the Album sucks. It is compressed to death. No dynamics left. Its a shame. And well, i got the CD. So, it is not the format. It is the Mastering of the Audiofiles.
