Well, i want write something hehehe (sorry for my bad english)
You know what, i just finish war with “fans” Dir on x 🤣
They tweet like “meh” to Mortal Downer and say they become weaker and ALWAYSSSS compare to previous album. I mean, if you are real fans just listen their masterpiece right? I know sometime we disappointed, but come on they are not 1 genre band. They are experimental band!
I’m arguing with people who said they never make good song since Arche and mocking TIW and Phalaris then they stop listen to Dir plus underestimated Mortal Downer! The most i hate is they tweet it, reply everyone who talk about Mortal Downer and want to start listen it. It’s like spread the hate you know?
Song in TIW and Phalaris also good. I mentioned that I disappointed to Phalaris but that’s not make me say “they don’t have good song after Arche”. I like 13, Oboro!
They also compare, DSS is last album they can make cool. Like.. the one who deserve comparing Dir is fans who follow them since 1997 right? 🤣 it’s like you are twenties years old but yelling like you know everything about their album. You don’t even buy Dum Spiro Spero that time 🤣 (DSS release in 2011, you are kids that time)
And this is make me think, i want see how much listener of Dir album! I make little research on Youtube Music.
I just want to prove, Dir not losing their shine since Arche (like they say). Every album of course has beautiful song, song that make fans satisfied.
And you know what? The result is not that bad for TIW and Phalaris 🥺 these 2 album still has audience, people still listen to this album which they mock!
