Sam's Town is overall better than the first album. It has its slow moments, but it's still pretty good. It's less '80s synth pop and more experimental. Bones is pretty much their best song (after Under the Gun if that counts).
As for Dir en grey. Vulgar and Withering to death are great albums, Six ugly sucks, and The Marrow of a Bone is very good. Those are the only albums you should worry about because they don't play any older songs anymore.
