'Vulgar' is by far Dir En Grey's best album. To me it seems a mixture of their older more upbeat style of 'Gauze' with their much more heavier screamy vocal style that you see on 'Withering to Death' & 'Marrow of a Bone'. If you like J-Rock or want to get into it and have heard about Dir En Grey then this is the album you should start with. This will also appeal to anyone who likes instrumentally talented bands. There are plenty of great guitar riffs and genre mixtures merged between beautiful sounding vocals.
