DIM by the GazettE has been described as having riffs as "heavy as the soul of Dracula" and sounding like "Slipknot playing Powerman 5000 covers" by AllMusic's Alexey Eremenko. It was released in Japan soon after the visual kei band performed a guerrilla gig outside of Shinjuku Station, the world's busiest transport hub. Police had to pul the plug on when several thousand fans turned up to the secret event. DIM includes the group's first single to reach number two in the charts, LEECH.
