[Trombe 22025]

-OZ- has announced at their one-man live at Shibuya O-West at 2010/12/28 that their new mini album (title not yet finalized) will be released in 2011/05, although details have not yet been announced

[gyakutai 12]

yay!

[minre 13]

...rouge leftovers?

I mean, I never really liked it when a band announces a release months in advance :/.

hopefully it'll be like SIX. that's all I ask. screw the filler tracks.

[LIDL 692]

between happy and worried.

They're seems running some target, don't they?

[nekkichi 6042]

didn't like rouge, so I hope they were recording something new after the album was completed and are working on fresh stuff now

[Noroimusa 4]

oh yeah! That's some good news~

[Peace Heavy mk II 7200]

I'm excited *-*

[Spike760 16]

ROUGE was good for me, I was only not feeling a couple of the songs. Can't wait to see what they have planned next!

[Kaye 296]

Wow, that's fast. Can't wait for new oz songs

[Mr Bacon 106]

for OZ, mini means an album without the filler tracks. Which is good.

[sai 868]

Excited for this!

[X-Marc 7]

didnt like rouge too much so hope they take another direction

[LIDL 692]

do you all think they will only getting even more harder? Or is it just me?

[anieresus 270]

This is fast, oh well hope it's something new (:

[tosinn 3]

But they just released ROUGE. I think they should slow down a bit...

[clow_eriol 240]

I liked Rouge a lot of (except some tracks). But I'm really excited *-* about new mini-album.

And yes, maybe they goal some target... (major ?)

[sugibo 403]

yea, i think rouge is good too, and looking forward to the mini!!!!

this is going to suck. how do i know? bands who announce shit a month or so after an ALBUM usually rush material which sounds like fucking garbage.

BEFORE I DECAY anyone?

Well that was fast! Hope it isn't leftovers and more of "an album without fillers" like Mr Bacon stated.

Judging material by comparing it to the GazettE >___>. Just because they had a great album and an iffy single afterwards doesn't mean that every band that does the same thing will have the same results.

It's completely possible that they started working on this material around the same time they started working on ROUGE and they picked the songs that were "ready" for ROUGE and worked on these a bit longer. They could have been working on these for even longer than the songs that were on the last album. Maybe they have a couple of great songs that didn't take too long to compose and they've got enough material for a new album. Point is, you just don't know. We could have looked at BORN's recent release spree and said "oh wow, this is going to suck because they're releasing too much too fast" but that came out just fine and by what the previews indicate their fourth mini will be no less stellar, even though they've released over fourteen songs in a five month period. I also suppose you're going to say that "Chinese Democracy" is the greatest album ever released because Axl Rose worked on it for so long and didn't announce it "a month after an album". Time spent composing music is only partially related to how it will sound. You can lay down a hit track in a week and you can spend three years writing a song to have it come out bad. Have some faith.

As a member of a band with only 1 song officially released, I can tell you that we have enough songs to probably release 3 full albums, yet we haven't. Artists write songs all the time, maybe even more than one a day, or at least parts of songs. Sometimes you're just not feeling it as much, but like we'll go back to old songs and re-write them or touch them up sometimes.

But yeah, they probably are leftovers from ROUGE, or at least some. Regardless I'm still looking forward to it.

[Licio123 181]

ROUGE was mediocre, not looking forward to this.
