They're my favorite band. Anime smile Though I find their newer music (Marrow of a Bone) is kind of going downhill, getting too screamy and just plain messy. But since Diru's always changing, this is probably (hopefully?) just a phase. My favorite songs are Machiavellism, Drain Away, the Final, Riyuu, Kodou, C, GARBAGE, Cage...My favorite member? I like them all, but I guess Kaoru since he's so gosh-darn cute.

I'd love to see them live.

I have some of their music. I like most of it. Some of it is really good. I just don't like it when they do nothing but scream and make something closer to noise than music Confused . I want to hear more of their stuff, but I'm reluctant to buy their newer stuff since I've heard the direction they seem to be going in.

Do you have Withering to death.? It's really sort of their 'peak' IMHO, and almost all of the tracks (maybe 10 or 11 out of 14) are pretty easy to listen to if you like them.

Ugh. I can't stand them. They're like the Korn, et al of Nu Metal, and I think they're just God-Awful. Gimme XJapan, Sigh, Metalucifer or Loudness.

They seem really nu-metal..ish in my opinion. They only really come to life when Kyo starts actually singing as opposed to screaming which I hate. They're pretty average though I lean towards disliking them more often than not.
