Depending on who you talk to, Macabre is either one of the best albums Dir en grey has ever put out, or one of the worst ones that should be avoided. I’m with the former. I’m completely in love with this album. Maybe it’s because this was the first album I ever completed and bought on my own, and I guess the effort mixed with the nostalgia makes me prefer this album over others. That’s not to say that this album is better than say, Gauze, but it’s not a Kisou or a VULGAR. I guess that what I’m getting at is that this album is one that you need to listen to to formulate your own opinion. It’s right up there with Kisou in that you need to listen and judge for yourself. I can’t pick out the good and the bad songs because this album is so DAMN DIVERSE that different people with different musical tastes will like different songs and despise others.
Well that, and the fact that the entire Aztec-mysterious-macabre theme is continued throughout most of the album.

In 1999, Japanese rock band Dir en grey made it big on the success of 5 hit singles from the GAUZE album. However, the album’s sound was largely due to producer Yoshiki’s influence, and the band wasn’t quite satisfied. So for their follow-up, 2000’s MACABRE, they decided to produce it themselves. What resulted is the most musically diverse CD I’ve ever listened to. The album is pretty long (13 tracks in 73 minutes), but it goes by in what feels like only 30 minutes. This album begins with the moodsetter known as Deity. Most people find this track to be little more than a creepy instrumental. I beg to differ. Without Deity, you wouldn’t find the atmosphere that you do with this album. If you listen closely, you can hear yells and speeches in the background. Musically, however, this track is not the best. It’s actually the worst on the album, because it wasn’t meant to be a song. SFX tracks aren’t meant to be four minutes long, and somewhere along the line they decide to throw in riffs, which get annoying after a while and there is only one minute of singing (in Russian) in the entire song. Indifferent on this one but I don’t particularly abhor it.
Myaku jumps right into it with the guitars, unlike the single version which had some weird circus-y music going on. Then it goes into the song, which is a mix of pop and hard rock sounds, with electric verses where Kyo screams, and an acoustic chorus where Kyo sings it. Musically, both Kaoru and Die take turns in the spotlight (as I already implied), and vocally Kyo is diverse. It’s not one of my favorites, but I rarely skip it. Riyuu calls for some Toshiya love. His bass is very prominent throughout this song, which is about a guy who’s about ready to jump out a high-rise building. Despite this fact, “Riyuu” is a song which sounds radio-friendly, but really isn’t. Even with the loud bass, Kaoru still puts on a nice solo in the middle, which is always good. So early on, Wake is DEFINITELY on of the best songs on this album. And guess what? Die composed this song, and his compositions are usually rare, so all the Die fans in us can rejoice over a great song.
I hate the fact that I can type egnirys cimredopyh +) an Injection without any problems. And yes, that’s the actual title. It results from the fact that “hypodermic syringe” is a banned word in Japanese media, so Kyo reversed it to get past the censors. This is another bass-heavy song (Toshiya wrote the music), and Shinya is prominent as well; his 95-pound body smacking his drumset like there’s no tomorrow. However, the guitars have so many fuzz effects it makes it hard to hear the song, and Kaoru’s solo can just be regarded as 16 bars of noise. For some reason, I think of “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” when this song plays. Regarding the song title, despite the fact that it’s “hypodermic syringe” spelled backwards, it actaually has nothing to do with a needle. It’s actually about doing cocaine and masturbating on a wall. Uh oh, I think I might have just ruined this song for others. Oh well, it’s still damn fun to listen to.
Hydra was made for headbanging and live concerts and it showcases the elements of Macabre well. The beginning is rough and the lyrics are repetitive, but the middle is one of the most unique things I have ever heard in a song and..well, you just need to listen to it once or twice to understand what I mean. However, this song is not for everyone, and this is not a good gateway song for you new Diru fans. I WANNA BE AN ANARCHIST DEADBORN SID VICIOUS SUSPICOUS is as lyrically diverse as you’re going to get in this song. Some people liken this to Marilyn Manson and I have one word for you: shut the fuck up and headbang. OK, that was several, and it’s the same amount of words as the lyrics in the song more or less but whatever. Love it or skip it.
The first true ballad of the album, Hotarubi’s a major departure from the previous songs. It sounds like a J-pop song, and even has a STRING SECTION to accompany it. Vocally, Kyo is at his best here while trying not to get emotional (he never writes a happy song) and musically, Toshiya once again has the spotlight with some warm sounding bass throughout. There’s even a part where you can hear fireflies in the background. It’s a song about Japan after America bombed the crap out of it’s two cities, and the lyrics are as depressing as all hell. If I can try not to think about those lyrics when the song plays, it is actually rather soothing. Yes, Dir en grey is one band where you don’t want to know what Kyo’s singing about. Remarkably, and the best part about this song to me, is that it manages to seperate itself from the chaos that was the first four tracks and keep the entire feel of the album going. Awesome indee. I would recommend you give this a listen despite the long run time. It’s not the longest on here.
[KR]cube….Please don’t ask me where Kyo gets his song titles from, because I’d like to know myself. Anyway, I have no idea what this song is about (the first verse mentions acting in plays in Gion, but that’s really it), but I love it. Toshiya pulls off a nice intro, and Kaoru, Die and Shinya do the rest. The video for the song is really cool as well. It takes place in a club, with Kyo… being Kyo, and Die playing some kind of hitman. I won’t spoil it for anyone, so find it on YouTube if possible. It’s to die for (pun intended). Berry is a bit creepy. It starts off with a British girl apologizing to her parents for something and then vowing to “blow your head off like raspberry jam”. That sets the mood for a quick speed metal-meets punk song about what else? Abusive parents getting their reward in the most gruesome way possible. The middle of the song has a dialogue involving said parents yelling at said girl, and for that it’s hard to listen to sometimes. Otherwise, it’s a fun song, even if it doesn’t really fit into the soundscape of Macabre. Well, hell, some songs do worse on this album with the fitting in but.
After listening to MACABRE – Sanagi wa Ageha no Hane no Yume I’d have to say that Dir en grey is talented when it comes to prog rock. What we have here is an 11-minute epic of a song, complete with layered vocals (Kyo seemingly duets with himself), interacting electric and acoustic guitars, some cool bass, and loud drumming. There’s also a two-minute instrumental break in the song (like all prog songs do), which sounds better than many songs most bands have ever put together. It is a clear example of Kaoru’s finesse at composing music, although I’m hard-pressed to believe he did it on his own. If it weren’t so long, I’d even recommend listening to it on repeat. It’s that damn good.
What the name “Audrey” has to do with this song, I don’t know. What I do know is that Dir en grey attempt a country-rock song with a touch of 60’s here, and they once again succeed. It’s just a bit repetitive, but it’s got a nice bass line (that seems to be common in this CD) and the guitars provide a nice intro and outro. However, this song is a jolt after the masterpiece of MACABRE. It doesn’t fit in on this CD. It doesn’t even TRY.
Rasetsukoku means “land of demons”… or literally, “Hell”. After more research, I found that “Rasetsukoku” is the old name that China used for Russia. It’s got some thrash elements in it, so if you like that sort of thing, give this a listen. It’s miles better live and on the CD it’s repetitive and also doesn’t fit in well. It does it better than Audrey does however. If I want repetitive speed metal, I’ll listen to Hydra thank you very much. Grab the Child Prey single and listen to that version. Skip it here unless you’re into speed metal. I do like the lyrics however, which is why I recommend it live.
Zakuro is another speed bump. Or rather, speed mountain. This one’s slow and quite boring to listen to, except for the very end, when the music stops and Kyo goes a capella and completely lets loose. If I have to wait 8 minutes for an 8 minute track to get good, I’m not listening. It’s another drippy, overemotional ballad about someone leaving someone and someone crying over it. Shut the fuck up and skip this song.
We’ve now come to the final single, which in my opinion is a clever move after the last two duds. This one Kyo wrote based on an experience he had. He was going to get married one time, but the woman left him for another musician, who just happened to be Kyo’s best friend at the time. This one’s got more loud bass, nice acoustic guitar playing, and Shinya’s prominent again. Knowing the backstory, it makes me just the slightest bit sad listening to it. (Poor Kyo, why can’t anything go right for you for once??). This also fits in better than the last three songs have, even though the whole reggae-pop feel is alien for even a band as experimental as Diru.
Macabre’s Children brings to mind strange visions of Antiterrorism from Perfect Dark. Those sentences have nothing to do with each other, and I suspects that it’s mostly hormones and my damned neighbors, but yes, this song, if it makes me think of Perfect Dark is awesome. And it’s a great song. It was originally on the Taiyou no Ao single and then it was included as a bonus track on Macabre. I personally think that they should have stuck this before Zakuro because it feels out of place after Taiyou no Ao. It still has a great feel that only belongs on the Macabre album and I also see shades of green when I listen to this song. That just might be the album cover influencing my decision. I am also a fan of the solo halfway through the song, as I prefer this one to the solo on sixUgly, even though I do love Totchi’s skills. It also just happens to be a bad case of fate that I’m talking to a friend about pregnancy at this moment. Erm, Children, yes. Terurizumu I guess? I’m being random, but I’m in love with the acoustic effects all over this song and on the album in general. This was the perfect sound of Diru’s early style and I just love it. I come back to it every once in a while. Only problem I have is with the abrupt ending, but I don’t know if that’s my particular music file or not.

August 5th, Saturday not a cloud in the sky
from the top floor of this building if I notice, I’ll inform of our parting
August 3rd, Thursday in my heart, a wound
the 6th wound it becomes torn, everything is broken everything
the first time we met, I noticed my own foolishness
always unbelieving of people wounding people
why didn’t I learn of my love for you
having done this I cannot seem to forget this love
but
I believe in happiness I don’t seem to notice
alone I was crying I didn’t seem to understand you
more than this more than this I don’t want to be hurt
but only now, it’s only you that I wanted to love
there’s a time I made sure to forget, but now I want to hold you close
I believe in happiness I knew your past
I cannot forget in spite of you
more than this more than this I don’t want to be hurt
but it’s only you I cannot hold closely, reassuringly
August 5th in a sunny sky with no clouds
already this is the end spread across the ground, staring at myself
“I embrace you” “I stare at you” “I love you” “I will remember you”

I started to speak to the wall with my lower half…
even past eighteen I still have wet dreams
speaking of which you’re a porno mag.
You’re surely with me, putting the white powder on the spoon,
cook it over the fire, it bubbles up and melts,
then melts into this pitiful body.
My head spins, the room spins, here it comes.
Please god save me, I wanna put an end to it,
put an end to my life right way, and hang my pitiful body.

The white bed I wait in, an injection,

entwining fingers, interlocking fingers with “that kind of me”
bound in the chastity belt, so very pretty and thin,
little by little by little I got sick of you.
So I hung you.

The moon sank and lit up the cold sea.
Be a flower, be a butterfly, prick me with the poison thorn
The sinful time can’t destroy the hourglass,
the dream of primary colors spread out, the balance lost
the sinful feelings can’t destroy the hourglass.
the wounds are too deep, i lose sight of what’s before me,
just watching that figure
We won’t need words if we can seek the night together.
We won’t need love, to go to a darkness with no place to step.
prick me with the thorn of a love, not loved and unable to love.
writhing in agony, aren’t you ashamed to be so indecent?
you’ll never be the same again but, pour the sweet saliva.
Be a flower, be a butterfly, prick me with the poison thorn
The sinful time can’t destroy the hourglass,
the dream of primary colors spread out, the balance lost
the sinful feelings can’t destroy the hourglass.

Translation
the transformation triggered by the musk
reflecting on the night of the hazy moon
displaced * tricky * wicked
the cleric’s eye can’t see, this demon.
the road of carnage which changed my self
lawlessness running rampant is a bull’s-eye
searching the dark through this form, like a snake.
I’ve been put on the executioner’s stage.
they jeer and laugh wickedly.
holding upon high my severed head, the peasants say,
“the kingdom of demons is upon us”
manners * nature * estrangement * demons
many peasants died.
the hope for peace was destroyed.
this life is revolting
this is a world of carnage.
manners * nature * estrangement * demons
I throw away myself, and become the carnage.
All the people with hearts, become nothing.
now its too late, everything is destroyed.

I screamed out your name
even my voice will probably never reach you
but you know, now I’m ok with that.
some day in my heart you’ll be…
I’ll dream tonight, dreams of you.
because of that letter I put under my pillow
my dreams are too cruel, my breath is cut off
i always painfully awaken at four in the morning
time is too long
time is too painful
the dreams don’t stop
love freezes to death
on a cold night
on this long night
my consciousness splintered and powdered
memories scattered about
holding your ring so tightly that my tears wet the pillow
so i couldn’t hear it, i blocked my ears to your voice
one more scar added to my wrist
melting into the wound… you
i am breaking burning the letter its reduced to ash
i am breaking destroy my heart its reduced to ash
i am breaking losing you i love you.

my scorched heart is feeling a buzzing sound
a telephone that wasn’t ringing I wanted to stare at it
soon I turn the street corner where the two of us often saw films
together with the midsummer colours I recall that time
the midsummer sun my feelings piled up on the seasons
the wind that flowed past I can never reach you
I looked at you who had burst into tears it seemed so usual
only staring at you I could do nothing
A fragrance I don’t know is it about that guy?
I didn’t even notice the way you were already
after five years time are you happy with him?
at Teramachi, a chance meeting for some reason my heart aches
the midsummer sun my feelings piled up on the seasons
the wind that flowed past I can never reach you
a cold sun changes to a new colour
I cannot hide my scars colouring a new season
I can be wounded I am wounded people hide their scars, but
I myself will cross over, and show scars that become beautiful flowers
next eternity

Sever the logic circuits with a razor
it’s your fault for not understanding anything
dreams are worn, love is trite
in my head no outlet.
I can’t control my mind
Can’t control
Neo
My logic circuits continue to hope for that
Unbeknownst to me No outlet.
It can’t come out in words, it won’t become words
those words destroy my heart.
I, who wore the mask of an adult,
just me and the knife which leaves nothing behind.
I can’t control my mind
can’t control
It can’t come out in words, it won’t become words
those words destroy the heart.
I, who wore the mask of an adult,
just me and the knife which leaves nothing behind.
I’ll destroy now the foolish words, “play nice with the other kids”
I, who wear the mask of the devil,
I don’t want to hear about something I can never have.
