| 4.5 superb | Jared Floryan | March 17th 17 |
"Clever Sleazoid" has a certain lyric used that I feel sums up this particular live DVD very well: "Welcome to the garden of destruction". Released in the year 2009 and consisting of a feature show recorded at Shinkiba Studio Coast plus bonus footage via Osakajo Hall, Tour 08 The Rose Trims Again demonstrates Japanese experimental metal crew Dir En Grey in one of their most passionate forms yet. Concerning the songs that represent the band's sixth full-length outing, some of these tracks were already solid enough in studio format. With that said, however, the live environment coupled with the synergy between Diru's members and the audience somehow manages to make the numbers feel far more alive by comparison; "Disabled Complexes," "Namamekashiki Ansoku, Tamerai ni Hohoemi," and "Repetition of Hatred" are especially telling examples of this. The lighting is also done remarkably and the setlist even does nice work in showcasing the band's growth as performers, musicians, and most importantly composers. Whatever one does, don't sleep on what The Rose Trims Again has to offer - get on that shit.
