I'm revisiting the Dir en grey's discography to re-listen to some stuff.

DSS expands the even more the Dir en grey's musicality. There's more ambient on the songs, making them a lot creepier and not turning them goofie.

My personal favorites:
THE BLOSSOMING BEELZEBUB
DIFFERENT SENSE
LOTUS (a little overplayed to me lol)
DIABOLOS
Hageshisa To... (a instant classic)
VANITAS
Ruten no Tou
