The stuff I've heard is awful. Though in general, I just don't really like any of that visual kei stuff except for Metronome, one Dir En Grey album, some Buck-Tick, Blam Honey (who are amazing, one of the best bands ever), 2 Psycho le Cemu songs, one Plastic Tree EP, and Cali Gari. I've tried and tried to get into vis kei but most of that stuff sucks. Sorry, D'espair'sRay fans!
Also... non-vis-kei Japanese bands are pretty much the only ones making good rock music nowadays, but so many are overlooked, especially in America, becuse they're not visually appealing enough. They just don't get the recognition because they don't look "cool". It's like SlipKnot in that sense... That's always bothered me.
