The shouting part is the only place I feel like it has vocal energy. But I love it for the music.

Well, well, here is my review after a few listens of the album. First off: packaging. Nice pictures of Mana wielding his new pet: ze dagger. But really, the cover is pretty nice, same goes for the back, and the inside. I would have liked more pictures of the other members, like a page for each member or something, but ooh well. Mana’s got himself a nice mask. Also, nice big colorful poster, although the fact that it is the cover of album is just a slight setback, because it doesn’t have the other Moi dix Mois members on it. Oh well. Now, onto the real meat….
Dispel bound: Nice creepy orchestral beginning, but that is the usual in Moi dix Mois. NICE DRUMS! Very epic, setting the tone for the album. I like where the guitars peel in, along with some whispers. While others may disagree with me, the D-I-X thing is neat. Seth really just soars with some nice vocals, he should do that more often. Pretty much the best intro to a Moi dix Mois album (it also remind me of Invite to Immortality) Seth’s speaking voice is perfect for the floaty violins. Overall, it didn’t need to be so long, but that’s not too bad of a complaint. By the way, I don’t give number scores. I’m too indecisive O.O;;
Angelica: More of the same ‘oOoOOoO’ opening, the usual, but then…..CHIKKABAM! The madness portrayed with the steady drum, guitar and usual synth is really good here, and Seth’s opening only further this…solitary madness. Again, very epic….but a tad repetitive.
Metaphysical: The first time I heard this song I hated it. Now it’s one of my favorites. *shrugs* Anyway, I like how the guitars just slap you in the face right in the beginning. It is a more BTG sort of song, only its not being recorded under water ^^ *imagines Mana snorkeling while rocking out on the guitar*….yeah. Only thing is that it kind of crashes into an abrupt end.
Exclude: Sounds like a Schwarz Stein like dance track in the very beginning, but doesn’t end up being that. Again, the drums in this album are very nice, and Seth has a nice tone to his far far far away voice. Overall, I kind of liked it.
Last Temptation: YES YES YES! This is a good remake. It doesn’t sound near as rushed as the original did, in fact, it isn’t rushed at all. (However, am I the only one who thinks Seth sounds funny when he goes ‘far awAYYYY’ in the chorus???) Honestly, I really liked this. And I consider myself a Juka fan too, and I really love this remake. ^^
Immortal Madness: I don’t like how it begins. But the guitar solo in the middle is really good, I must admit…and madness has immortality? Okay…. AH ROUGH ENDING! This ‘solo’ had a painful ending. Ah well.
Neo pessimist: Um…..pessimiste is one of my favorite Juka Moi dix Mois songs, so perhaps I am bias. It sounds more electronic, less symphonic. I don’t like it. The male chorus for the ‘pessimist’ part made me jump into the air and…okay, it isn’t /that/ bad…..it just left me unsatisfied. I was hoping for Seth to go all out, but he didn’t….
Xanadu: Nice melody, great drums, awesome voice. Need I say more? Yes, I do: this song is really good. The organ work is so fluid and Seth’s voice really just takes you away into the song, it’s almost…liberating.
A Lapis Night’s Dream: Filler. Nice tune though, like others have said before me, I hope Mana turns this into a full song.
Lamentful Miss: -_- I never liked this song. Eh. It’s always sounded a little all over the place to me, AND it sounds like it was filmed inside a soda can O.O
Lilac of Damnation: squeeee! I like the beginning, the teetering feeling his definitely present. It doesn’t sound choppy either, everything just goes together so well. Overall, it’s good. But, to use this as the last song with vocals on the CD….
Sacred lake: This gives me the picture of the lake on the cover of the CD, like Mana’s like, “hey look! This is the lake of paradise!” only he says it much more eloquently than that.
Overall: At first, I was disappointed. But that was the first listen. In the later listens, I began to realize that it was well put together (except Lamentful Miss, which I don’t see how it fit O_O). It still isn’t a Bara no Seidou though, but I’m bias in that respect as well because I adore Klaha. I was expecting Mana to blow me out of my seat with this release, but he only sent me flying out of my seat about half way :/ But, if I had to say ‘good’ or ‘bad’ for the whole CD, I would definitely say ‘good’.

The irony of someone with a clearly 'eternal' devotion to mdm and has "Seth does it better" in their sig reprimanding people with a cursory predilection for Juka is not lost on me.
The irony of describing someone's predilection for Juka as "cursory" when their avatar goes out of its way to proclaim "Long live Juka!" isn't lost either 
But otherwise I'd say "thank you". Scape has too much of this silliness.

I think you're right about it being more powerful now
... I can't say I would miind if he re-recorded it ... as long as it was a b-side to a single or something. I think you have a point. Dix Infernal probably sounds "cleaner" because there seems to be less going on compositionally when compared to Noctorunal Opera.

and just because i lean more towards juka does not mean that i am NOT a fan of Seth. nor does my saying i was dissapointed with his vocals. yes Juka's voice is #1 in my book but i'm not afraid to say that i was dissapointed with his vocals on some songs off Dignity of Crest.
We (most of us) understand that having a penchant for one singer doesn't mean damning the other, and etc., etc., etc.
You're totally fine. No one is judging here, because we're all mature and mentally stable enough to handle di/assenting opinions.

I would like to get a big scan of the last picture of the booklet (the one, where Manas hand comes out of a mirror)... I tried to scan my own booklet, but my scanner makes is weird... I want to draw it *_*
No you are not the only one that likes all the songs. i do too!
And i personally like "seth" and all new m10m members alot!
Here is my review of DIXANADU...
dispell bound - A haunting set of strings opens the album, quickly followed by apocalyptic horns and drums (in the same vein as “the Prophet” from NOCTURNAL OPERA), and I have to say, no introduction or opening track for any other CD by any other artist has ever gotten me as pumped for the music to follow as this one. It’s phenomenal, and it works both as an intro and as a stand alone track - not quite single quality, but very exciting and dark nonetheless. The chanting in this song never fails to send chills up and down my spine. The vocal and synth work layered together is really incredible, and in regards to “the Prophet” no other song has painted such a distinct picture in my mind as I listened to it, but I can’t help but imagine the members of Moi dix Mois chanting the classic “D-I-X.. DIX!” into microphones aligned at the front of the stage. This is going to be undoubtedly a great piece of work…
Angelica - At its core, the song is fairly typical Mana fare - plenty of harpsichord and strings peppered over angelic choirs and the trademark guitar riffs. The drumming really catches my attention here, and for the first time in a long time I’m finally noticing the bass in Moi dix Mois. If I had to compare the composition another Moi dix Mois song, I’d say it’s right up there with Dialogue Symphonie, which up until now has remained my unrivaled favorite composition by Mana to date. My first few listens were a bit of a struggle, as the arrangement of the piece is unlike anything else Mana has done before. It’s a bit choppy and sporadic but very captivating and beautiful. There’s not much I dislike about this song - all the instruments sound clean and balanced and Seth’s vocals shine rather bright. Very beautiful - a total 10.
Metaphysical - And now it gets REALLY interesting… This song just plain rocks. It’s a refreshing and exciting blend of marching guitars and some great drum work. Hayato really shines in this song, and I think he has been the best addition to Moi dix Mois since Juka‘s departure. The song absolutely SCREAMS gothic - a kind of gothic I didn’t expect from Mana in a strange way - it sounds surprisingly Western at times, but is quickly intercepted by an emotional vocal bridge from Seth. This is exactly the kind of song I’ve been waiting for from Mana since the conception of Moi dix Mois.
exclude - If I were to hand pick any one single song to advertise and promote Moi dix Mois to a Western gothic audience, or simply broader audience in general, exclude would hands down be it. It’s a stunning fusion of dark wave dance floor synths crashed into even more head banging guitar, bass and drum work than that of the previous track. The lyrics are very catchy and memorable as well, and Seth does a fantastic job with them. Out of the entire album, this song I would want to see performed live above all else. A new Moi dix Mois classic, for sure.
Last Temptation - I’m just going to go on the record and say I really don’t care at all for “tentation” from Dix infernal, and after the somewhat lackluster remakes of 2 of Mana’s previous compositions found as b-sides on the Lamentful Miss single, I have to admit I was rather hesitant of another remake, especially of a song I could have done without before… But this song absolutely slapped me in the face. A few times. And I liked it. It’s much more mellow and emotional than the original version. Seth definitely provides a fresh new breath of life to the song, and the new arrangement is amazing. Very dark, a tad bit calming, and extremely refreshing, which is a rather ironic way to describe a new song, but most of the time I barely recognize it as having been recorded before. I think lyrically, the song is better suited for Seth anyhow, and again Hayato’s drumming is really displayed here. Great, great song.
Immortal Madness - This song is reminiscent of the album’s opening track, only more electronic and faster paced. Definitely more of a live-oriented song, but it’s actually really cool to have it on CD. And unlike the recorded version of “MAD INGRAIN” on NOCTURNAL OPERA, this filler track I actually like. A tad too short for my general liking, and for such a short song I would have appreciated an [SE] at the end to not get me too excited before listening, but onward with another remake…
neo pessimist - He did it again. Another fantastic remake. Mana seems to have really “cheesed down” the new version of yet another Dix infernal remake. The electronic elements of the new version actually work to the songs benefit this time, and they don’t downplay the guitar work. The two versions are so different I really have a hard time comparing them, but I can say that the DIXANADU version is much stronger and more solid. It’s got a very industrial type of vibe to it with all the metallic drumming effects. The one part I don’t care for is near the very end where the guitars seem to become tedious and drag the song on a bit, but a solid piece, and definitely another favorite.
Xanadu - Probably the most haunting and epic song on the album, Xanadu is definitely a new step for Moi dix Mois. Very down-tempo and eerie, but incredibly exciting. I wasn’t expecting any church bells in DIXANADU for some reason, but sure enough they make a toll or two in Xanadu. This song seems like it really ought to be used on a soundtrack of some sort - perhaps Anime, perhaps otherwise, but it’s a really great song, and sure to become a fan favorite at lives. There isn’t really any one instrument that stands out to me in this song, I just really notice the flawless composition and arrangement. It’s crisp and tight, and it seems like Mana really wanted this to stand out among the rest of the songs on DIXANADU - it does. Unlike anything we’ve heard from Moi dix Mois before, and more than likely unlike anything we’ll hear in the future. A total gem.
A Lapis Night’s Dream - I agree with many other review I’ve read when they say this filler track is FAR too short. A three to four minute organ composition would have made a stronger statement on the album as a whole, but as far as how the album is arranged from song to song, wouldn’t have in turn provided to be a very effective intro for Lamentful Miss. I really hope Mana develops this type of music in the future. It’s extremely reminiscent of MALICE MIZER’s Bara no Seidou and I like that.
Lamentful Miss - What Moi dix Mois album would be complete without a previously released single to help wrap everything up? I may be a bit naïve - but it does in fact sound like the song was re-recorded, although it probably wasn’t necessary, but it seems to me the drums and bass sound more prominent here than compared to the single version. In contrast to the rest of DIXANADU, Lamentful Miss provides a solid rock tune with barely-there synth work that flows into the rest of the album very well.
Lilac of Damnation - A surprisingly whimsical and dainty introduction paves the way for another signature Moi dix Mois song, very similar to Angelica in its fusion of instruments and choppy, creative composition. Most every element of Mana’s project makes a very clear statement in this song, and they all do a phenomenal job of clarifying and summarizing the rest of the sounds and techniques used throughout all of the songs that came before it on the CD.
sacred lake - An outro that does a perfect job of painting a picture of the cover art - think blue, water, mysterious, fantasy, alluring… Very solid conclusion to an amazing album. Not too short, not too long, just right.
DIXANADU - This is by far my favorite release by Moi dix Mois. It totally took me by surprise at first, and I wasn’t sure how to quite digest it. I knew immediately after giving it a virgin listen I loved it, but it wasn’t until I was able to process the complexity and diversity of the whole album that I realized it was my favorite. I have a really hard time picking a single song as my favorite, because they all work so well together on the CD. The composition and arrangement of the music is in my opinion the best Mana has given us to date. Every member of the project shines on the album - especially Seth and Hayato. I love Beyond the Gate because to me it seemed like Mana had quite a bit of fun recording those songs, but these songs have that same excitement but are more solid and steadfast in their direction. Whether or not DIXANADU is a preview of the new direction Moi dix Mois is headed, or if it’s just a fantastic piece of work Mana wanted to experiment with, I’m extremely pleased with it. This album is absolutely amazing, and just like Mana said, a grand culmination of their past works (which makes perfect sense in regards to the new versions of “tentation” and “Pessimiste”), trademark sound, and new technique. Everything just works for DIXANADU - the songs, the imagery (speaking of which the lyrics booklet gives that of NOCTURNAL OPERA a run for its money)… A completely breathtaking nod to the unique beauty that is Moi dix Mois.

All songs of DIXANADU is very very good and beautiful!
i like all songs of Moi dix Mois!!

damn, haven't posted here for awhile. Anyways, I like the album. Not as much as NOCTURNAL OPERA though. I'm too lazy to put out a review of each song, so I'll just say that my three favorite songs were Metaphysical, Angelica, and Xanadu (in that order). I didn't like the d-i-x DIX thing on dispell bound though. I thought it was kinda cheesy.
Still, recording was a lot better than Beyond the Gate. Probably the best job of recording out of any Moi dix Mois album actually. But I still can't hear the bass too well, and drums are still a little bit repetitive (but definitely not as much as before).
Altogether though, I'd give this an 8.5. Here are my favorite Moi dix Mois albums:
NOCTURNAL OPERA - 9.5
DIXANADU - 9.0
Dix infernal - 8.5
Beyond the Gate 8.0

edit: i didnt mean to sound rude, i'm obsessive compulsive, and one of the things im obsessive about is correct spelling on song names [it was so hard for me to sit back and watch like 20 people write "lamentfull miss"]
