And besides, music is rather...subjective. We all have our personal favorites and dislikes when it comes to music as a whole. While I love one band, you might loathe them-and that's fine. As long as we appreciate those differences and respect it, we're going to be cool. I see many lists on youtube about people's favorite bands and albums, and people comment 'what about this band/album?!' well my good sir, go make your own list then.
Now with that pushed aside, let's get started.
Stacked Rubbish-The GazettE
STACKED RUBBISH was the first the GazettE album I have ever owned. I'm pretty sure every person here remembers their first album from their favorite band, and that's partially the reason why this album is a personal favorite. When it came out, it sort of got bad reviews and not many fans seemed to like it aside from maybe Filth in the Beauty.
But I absolutely adore this album, my copy's case is just about beat up because of how many times I keep putting it in my boombox. [Yes, I know my computer and Ipod is a thing but....eh.] I'd say a favorite from this album is definitely Calm Envy, which I'm pleasantly surprised they're including in their TRACES BEST OF BALLADS.
I have a lot of personal reasons for this being my favorite album, or at least one of them from the GazettE. Bare with me too, considering the fact that there are two more from this band coming your way.
VENA-coldrain
You'd be hard pressed to find a song from coldrain that I don't like. VENA is just a prime example of how good they are, and how good they can be. After the concert I didn't stop listening to this album for weeks, it was almost as if coldrain had replaced the GazettE as my favorite band. Honestly, if I'm not listening to them, I am listening to coldrain.
This album is just a combination of great songs, with a feature from Papa Roach's Jacoby in the song Runaway. [I really want a version with just Masato though, it sounded bomb live.]
Our Own House-Misterwives
Misterwives is a band I stumbled upon accidentally via Finding Carter. I simply liked the song Vagabond used for the show, and then I suddenly started listening to literally every song that they had out. Our Own House is an album that I play quite frequently when listening to them on Spotify, and honestly it's worth paying 12.99 a month just for that feature.
Aside from their more popular songs like Reflections and Not Your Way, my favorite song off the album will have to be Oceans. It's a really good song, and Mandy Lee's voice is really soothing when I need something to calm myself down with.
Badlands-Halsey
My friend introduced me to her, well I already knew who she was-but she made me want to listen to her. And though I don't listen to it as much, I still catch myself jamming out to it here and there. It really is a good album, and Halsey really is a good artist. Possibly a favorite off the album is the song Colors, but like my friend-happen to like the stripped version better.
For some reason listening to that reminds me of being in California.
Beautiful Deformity-the GazettE
Honestly speaking, when it comes to the GazettE....their album DIVISION wasn't my favorite. I thought 'Okay, cool-maybe I'm just not a fan of their direction anymore.' But Beautiful Deformity restored that faith in them. When I first heard TO DAZZLING DARKNESS, I was in awe and happy that they were making good music again.
I'm not saying DIVISION was bad, I just didn't like most of the songs. Or cared for them.
So it was nice to have Beautiful Deformity come out, at least for me.
DIM-theGazettE
I was going to place another album before this one, so it didn't seem like a 'my favorite GazettE albums' list. But I couldn't think of any other albums that I listen to more than these ones. So DIM it is. I want to say that NIL is in tie with this album, as far as how much I listen to it-but I placed DIM simply because it was unique from their other albums.
I wasn't sure what it was, but I really like the dark undertone it seemed to have. And honestly I hope they do an album almost like it. My favorite era was DIM as well.

While I would love to do more, I have to sleep. [lol] So I will simply leave it at this for now.
What about you?
