Disorder (album)


Disorder is the debut album by Japanese rock band the Gazette, released on October 13, 2004 by PS Company, including the single "Zakurogata no Yūutsu". The first printing, called Premium Gazerock, was limited. The regular edition went on sale after the limited edition was sold out. It was re-released on May 3, 2006 and January 1, 2010.

Musical style

Japanese music website Jame World commented that Disorder is "a mish-mash of genres, sounds, and styles all brought together," living up to its name. It also said that the album is "earth-shatteringly loud, aggressive, and can feel borderline psychotic at times."

Commercial performance

Disorder reached number 19 on Oricon Albums Chart and remained on the chart for nine weeks. John D. Buchanan of Allmusic stated that this is a relatively high ranking for an independent band's debut album. Sold 14,883 copies while it was on the chart.
