Thanks for sharing! While I'm thrilled to see VAMPS are getting all the publicity now, I'm kind of disappointed in this article. It's pretty misleading. For one, they refer to LOVE ADDICT as the "latest single." ...Uh, no, it's their first single. =/ - Furthermore, it is said that the song "epitomizes" the band's typical sound with its music and "senseless lyrics." VAMPS has never been just one genre, not even during HYDE's solo career. It's always been a variation of many different genres.

While I'll admit that LOVE ADDICT definitely had the most senseless lyrics, that is just one song. You can't say songs like EVANESCENT, SWEET DREAMS, VAMPIRE DEPRESSION, were even in the slightest bit "senseless." They were all thought out and, when in English, were mostly executed perfectly. Some may not like the lyrics, but even if you don't, there's a difference between "bad" and "senseless."

And, a minor complaint, that they referred to EVANESCENT as "emo paean." Hehe... no it's not >> - And lastly, they referred to the song titles as "Gothic." Don't get me wrong here, I'm a huge fan of Goth, Industrial, dark music, and all that fun stuff. But the names are NOT Gothic, at all. Vampiric, yes. Gothic? By no means.

I understand that the article was not trying to criticize VAMPS, and were, in fact, praising them more than anything, but surely they could have been decent and done a bit more research before writing an article and maybe should have put more thought and consideration into what they used to describe them.

But again, it's good they got this kind of attention, even if the article seemed to be written by someone who knew nothing of what he/she was talking about.
