I'm glad they didn't give up and are willing to try again

Kind of forgot these guys are even around still, they really disappeared from the public consciousness quickly.

Great to have you join!

I think more like, he does drugs and then he records this on his laptop afterwards

I feel like the revival was a return to the early form so far, their late first period material wasn't as memorable. I'm hoping that they keep going in that direction.

Can't wait to listen to this in 2035!

Hi, welcome to the forum! We're always happy to have more people discovering us!

Love the announcement of announcements, I hope they'll get back on track with this, I'm sweating nervously with my purchased tickets at the moment.

Means I can finally start linking them to younger friends who do streaming only

Excellent news, hopefully more people can enjoy their discography now. The early stuff especially is very dear to me.

@pairdog They're one of my all time favourite bands, so I had to include them. Honestly it was very close that they made it to the top 10 list.

I'm also doing only full length albums, also doing only one album per band, to keep things more interesting. The list got pretty long, so made both a top 10, and the second tier of "honourable 10". Neither are in order except that the top ten obviously ranks slightly above the other ten, when I had to choose.

Top 10:
黒夢 - 亡骸を・・・ (Kuroyume - Nakigara wo…)
LUNA SEA - LUNA SEA
Aliene Ma'riage - Les Soirée 夜の舞踏会/断罪の章～神罰篇
deadman - no alternative
ムック - 葬ラ謳 (MUCC - Homura Uta)
Dir en grey - GAUZE
X Japan - Vanishing Vision
ROUAGE - ROUAGE
Malice Mizer - Memoire
sukekiyo - ADORATIO

Honourable 10:
Baiser - Ash
BUCK-TICK - 悪の華
D'espairsRay - Coll:set
emmuree - Love Letter -dark mania-
lynch. - greedy dead souls
La'Chryma Christi - Sculpture of Time
guniw tools - niwlun
DEATHGAZE - genocide and mass murder
9GOATS BLACK OUT - TANATOS
√eight - illational

Some of these albums I've listened to consistently for decades, some I listen to only every now and then but have strong feelings for. A lot of my favourite bands does not have full albums, or if they do, the best tracks are spread over several albums which makes them not really fit into a list like this.

It didn't sound at all like what I expected, given gossip and kane to juusei ex. members I thought they'd double down on the early Gazette worship. This sounds very different, going to try the mini when its out for sure.

@Tokage I remember I asked Full about those early releases some years ago, and he was like "...I don't remember."
He only had one of the tracks from the cover album that he sent to me, but the other stuff he said was "somewhere else". Very Helpful!

Welcome! You could build a pretty respectable list just from the members of keins other bands, even more so if you include the other bands of the other members of those bands. It's definitely one of the greatest concentration of talent in the scene.

Sounds good, I think the layout can be tweaked later to make it work, hopefully, I get that the way it looks now it wouldn't work, since we don't have a sidebar with the profile pic and stuff like on other forums in the threads.

Very glitzy intro, as expected of you!
Welcome, we're very happy to have you here.

On the recent posts it shows the thread starters image in large font and the latest post underneath small. I think it would be more tidy if it only showed the thread title and whoever made the most recent post in the thread, we dont need to see who started it on the recent posts section. Would be more clean.

Also, I recieved a request to have a post counter with the usernames displayed on the posts, is that something that can be done? As in, how many posts the user have made on the forum in total.

Don't forget, the VKPC co-host as well! Since we apparently have listeners who have joined already.
