今でこそUROBOROSやDUM SPIRO SPEROでDIRENGREYを確立してるように 見えるが、それの分岐点となったアルバムはやはりVULGARだろう 今でも良く聴くお気に入りのアルバムでかなりカッコいい! でも音がね…低音が弱い、だがそれを補って余りあるほどの曲のセンスと京の VOCALがある。お世辞でもうまいとは言えない(このころはね…今は凄いよ、例えばred soilとか) デスヴォイスやシャウトだが凄く感情がこもってて「痛み」が伝わってくる さて曲だが、obscureや蝕紅のようなおどろおどろしい曲からdrain awayやかすみ、砂上の唄、amberのような聴きやすくpopな曲などすごくバランスがいいのがまたいい、dir入門アルバムとしてもこれを薦めたい。 自分のおススメとしては third empire increase blue RED 砂上の唄 drain away かすみ R TO THE CORE marmalade chainsaw OBSCURE AMBERですね あとOBSCUREのPVを初めて見る時はビックリするかもね

Même si j'adore le virage qu'ils ont pris, Vulgar est une pépite à l'état brute, moins polissée.12 ans plus tard, je prends toujours autant de plaisir à l'écouter. Ma petite favorite : Marmalade Chainsaw.
Vulgar, taking a new direction and Dir en grey further away from the v-kei image and sound. More brutal, and stronger than ever vulgar has 15 songs, not one lets the album down. J-rock is becoming ever more popular around the world, with theese guys being one of the most known bands, and it's easy to see why. This album just gets better and better with every song. A personal faveroute is child prey and marmalade chainsaw. The album is well worth the money and will appeal to die hard Dir fans, J-rock fans and people who have never even heard the term 'J-rock'
Now, I know that most people say that VULGAR sucks because it was too heavy and western-like. I really don't care about those comments. This album is good, I love it...ALOT! Now, I do agree that if you are new to Diru, you should buy an older album first, but this one really gets you into their newer stuff, like Withering to Death. As far as the whole album goes, the music sounds great; Kyo's vocals always sound better on the next track and they leave you repeating some of it, not knowing a thing you're saying..., the guitars sound beautiful on this album, starting with audience KILLER LOOP and ending with Amber, and everything else, including Shinya's drumming, makes it sound even better. 5 STARS!
