BEASTLY but lacking by JOHN L. KOWAL (QUEENS, NY, USA)  3 Stars
November 24, 2009
I purchased this disc on a whim because I heard of them performing in NYC and I was pretty fond of Japanese metal rockers in general.
This is my first time hearing them - they are heavy, brutal or savage at times but to me that's not enough. This album was also very lacking in creativity and diversity. Even their brothers in the band called LOUDNESS are just as heavy but alot more enjoyable to experience because Akira knows how to bring it on with some diverse experimentation and guitar solos which this band DIR EN GREY is totally devoid of.
The opening song is somber, melancholic, epic and dramatic with piano and vocal emotions but that's the only song you will hear on the disc that shows their softer and creative side. All of the other songs are pretty gruesome but lacking and I wonder what is the point? This makes them no better than SLIPKNOT.I expect better from these guys.
Enough said!

Another amazing album from Dir en Grey by Albina (USA)  5 Stars
February 03, 2008
I've been a fan of Dir en Grey since 2003 and have yet to be disappointed or bored with them. Each album has its own sound while still consistently delivering excellent music and vocals. I have to admit, when I first heard the 30 second previews for The Marrow of a Bone, I was a bit worried that the entire album was just Kyo screeching and little else. However, upon listening to the songs in full, I found that just like every other Dir en Grey album, the previews really didn't do the album justice. The elements that I always have loved- Kyo's mixing of melodic emotion-filled vocals with growling and screaming- are still there and musically the band still excels with interesting riffs and bass lines. Overall, I was very impressed by the album and very glad that I gave it a chance. Highly recommended.

Dir en grey have still got it by DoorsBeyondDoors (Albuquerque, NM USA) 5 Stars
August 01, 2007
Really, it's too hard to hate Dir en grey. Granted, I don't like Hot Topics and I completely abhor all mall goths, emo kids, fangirls, and Japanophiles.... But, this is truly a hard rocking album, even though it's a bit too obvious that they are trying to sell out for American success. This is easily the best thing that Diru have done since Kisou, which is without a doubt their all time undisputed masterpiece. The Marrow of a Bone is raw, unfriendly, and above all else still retains that sense of genre defying brilliance that made all of their past material work. Let's just say that I am not disappointed in the least bit.... This is evolution, not regression. Kyo really shines on this release, too. His death vocals have gotten "a lot" better and if you ever get the chance to see him live in person you should.... He is truly a genus performer with an unbelievable amount of energy and an incredible stage presence... He also gets into the performances to such a degree that he cuts himself and beats himself in order to bring the emotions to the surface. Some of that may sound pretty gimmicky to you, but it works for Kyo... and it really adds to the overall performance.
In the end, I've been a fan of this band for six years now and I am not disappointed in their evolution in the least bit. They have kept things interesting and in all honesty it's hard to believe that they are the same band that put out Cage and Yokan. Diru have come a long way and I am really interested in seeing where they go from here.....

great band by Ryan (Toronto, Canada) 5 Stars
May 15, 2007
I've just listened to this album two straight times start to finish and it's currently playing through its third go around as I write this review. Like past albums, this is an incredibly addictive record. (their last album Withering To Death still sounds very fresh to me) Upon initial listens some may be dissapointed the diversity of past albums does not seem to show, as I feel the band has opted for a more cohesive and heavier sound. The band has progressively gotten heavier over the years and I feel this shift in their sound has been perfected on this album. Brutal and relentless, beautiful and haunting, Dir En Grey has done it again...
