I have no time for drama. Think whatever you want.
A hater will always be a hater so why even bother?
I'll live my life the way I want to be which includes
ignoring your concerns that won't benefit me.
I'm selfish like that, I know, so what?
Go! Be a loser and drown yourself in negativity. I don't care.

As long as my conscience is clean and I'm not trampling on other people,
life goes on for me.

Fragments of DIVISION

First things first: I'm not being an arrogant-elitist-A-hole strutting for the whole world to see that I got myself

a copy to intimidate other fans. No, absolutely not! Only the lame ones think that way so scratch me from the list.

I have no time for such immaturity and definitely ZERO patience to tolerate such childishness.

No drama here please.

Now, back to the real score. I finally managed to grab a copy of theGazettE's DIVISION (Limited Ed.) album
the day before the release at TSUTAYA and bought other copies for my friends at Club Indies as well.

I haven't got the time to fully scrutinize each song nor take a peek on the PVs since I've been too engrossed
spazzing over the booklet-slash-artbook-slash-CD-slash-DVD-case.

There's something with the whole layout of this album that left me ogling on photos and smirking at the lyrics
in a good way. With all the mouths saying “it's way too expensive for an album”, I suggest you should take a
peek and immerse yourself on each page. I may sound biased since they're one of my favourite band out there
but if you look closely on how well this one is crafted in an artistic perspective, you'd be surprised on how they
managed to capture and inject meaning to visually exhibit their music.

Each page, each shot, sets of pictures, printed lyrics, lone titles, CDs and the DVD were all

placed strategically in juxtaposition to fully enhance the visual concept of the whole album.

I am even impressed with the idea behind the words, placement and division of

FRAGMENT: VEIN, BINDING SITE and FRAGMENT: ARTERY, which I won’t go into details since it's

something worth pondering on your own you'll end up smirking at the ingenuity of the whole material.

Well, that's all for now. Enjoy the album!

My own copy of the album.

P.S.

Yeah, I know - I sure raided all the music stores last night.
Each one have their own freebies and I've got friends who have different preferences. . .
Thus started the music-store-hopping-escapade last night.
