What Sucks About This Artist?: Dir En Grey

Same gimmick

SikTh does it better.

It's not a gimmick though. I wouldn't like Dir En Grey if I didn't feel like they made it gel together into something that feels like a focused expression.

You asked “What Sucks”

And people tell me what sucks about them. So it's working as intended. Doesn't mean I agree with everything said.

I should probably say something myself as well: They tend to over-reach in the studio, making it very hard for themselves to perform some of their tracks live. This is especially evident with their last album, Arche, many songs of which seem a lot weaker live than on the album. Especially the vocalist should consider dialing back things back on the next studio album so he will be able to pull it off live with some consistency.

Yeah, I think if he does that he may get arrested.

I wouldn't wonder if Marilyn Manson has done that.

It’s just like you’d imagine but even more than overproduced.
