Good review ... and you are absolutely right - BABYMETAL are first and foremost a live performance act, they don't just do concerts, they put on a whole show - and the audience are a big part of that too. I always say their albums are like taster menus to give you an idea of what the songs will sound like, but you only get the full flavour with all the extra spice and seasoning when you see and hear them live. I have also seen listening to their albums described as like listening to the sound track of a film you have never seen and you don't know the plot. Until you've seen the film you won't appreciate what you're hearing or why it is as it is. Another thing I've learned over the years (apart from never making my mind up on a BABYMETAL song until I've seen and heard it live) is that even the songs I didn't like so much on a first listen will grow on me the more times I hear them. For example 'Light and Darkness' on this is really not my thing at all, but having heard it lots of times now ... OK it will never be a favourite of mine, but its actually not bad and I wouldn't skip it.
Welcome to the Foxhole and BabyMetal's metalverse 🦊🤘🌐 You're witnessing a new BM side we've never seen before with a more mature sound, is all good if you don't like all the tracks, but to understand some of those new songs you need to remember BM is a full experience, for example, the first song is an opener and the time length is intended this way when performing live with all the crowd participation, just like you said with THE LEGEND. i got the lyrics translated of every song but I'm gonna left only the first one coz I don't wanna leave a wall of text lol Thanks for sharing your honest reaction and hope to see you with the live performance reaction of some of these songs. 🦊🤘🔥
*METAL KINGDOM* lyrics: LYRICIST: Kitsune of Metal God ARRANGER: TatsuoMetal [Verse 1: Sumetal] We’re going through the passing times This world is crumbling We live while wandering A heart lost in darkness Hold me tight until dawn In that bright place Aim for tomorrow [Pre-Chorus: Moametal & Sumetal] Raise your hands to the lord Raise your voice to the world Raise your flag. Let’s be together... [Chorus: Sumetal] Stand up KINGDOM Unleash your FREEDOM Endless journey. Endless dream Wake up KINGDOM Get it, FREEDOM Raise the signal, go on without hesitation Trust your friend [Bridge: Sumetal] Negative words I don’t need a way back In that bright place Let’s live tomorrow [Pre-Chorus: Moametal & Sumetal] Raise your head to the lord. Raise your sword to the sky Raise your fists. Let’s be together... [Chorus: Sumetal] Stand up KINGDOM Unleash your FREEDOM Endless journey Endless dream Wake up KINGDOM Get it, FREEDOM Prove it Burn your life Believe in miracles [Verse 2: Sumetal] It’s the beginning song Deliver our voice Resonate, our voices Open up a new era Let it ring, it’s our voice Play it, our singing voice [Chorus: Sumetal] The sword of pledge Raise it up for tomorrow The unknown path Create it with those hands Stand up KINGDOM Unleash your FREEDOM Endless journey Endless dream Wake up KINGDOM Get it, FREEDOM It’s dawn, bathing in the light Cut through the darkness
Thanx for reacting to Babymetal. 😎 it's not to everyone's taste, and that's fair. Thanx for giving it a go, and hey, you liked a couple 😉 Even if this album wasn't to your liking, I hope you check out one of their other albums. Their style is diversity personified, and they have a ridiculously varied discography. If not, still thanx for giving your honest opinions, and Kitsunes up! 🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻😎
Nice reaction, thanks 😊. My preferences so far are: 1) Monochrome 2) METALIZM 3) Believing 4) Mirror Mirror 5) Time Wave You really need to check Monochrome lyrics to appreciate the song and maybe the piano version, yes it's not a banger, but it's a deep one. 🤘🦊⚡️
excellent content fellas, BABYMETAL is the best live band on earth, the proof is plain to see and hear, I have seen a hundred different bands live and none even compare to the incomparable BABYMETAL.
I used to feel the same way about their third album. I couldn’t stand it I love the first two albums. Now I like the third one. It just takes a while for it to wear on you. It took me three years to start liking Babymetal. So don’t give up I see BABYMETAL in your future.
Thanks for this reaction/review. 10:24 it's a vocoder probably, one of the songwriters Babymetal works with also creates vocaloid music (he was credit for this song). Which probably is where the idea came from. Just look up: hatsune miku if you don't know what vocaloid is: basically a voice synthesizer. 11:00 we've not heard anything official, but it's probably on purpose similar. Everything else was already said in the comments and video
Anime? 🙄 Good grief if I had a dollar for……… Gentlemen I have to ask have you ever watched a video of a LIVE performance by BabyMetal like Megitsune LIVE or Karate LIVE? Or have you just listened to studio recordings. BabyMetal is meant to be experienced LIVE.
I’ve watched some of their live shows online, they are unbelievable, and that’s what I was trying to explain, you can only get the full experience live which is cool and I hope I get to see them in person someday it would be amazing 😮💨🙏🏽

The way you described it is the perfect description to what I was trying to say 😂 Thank you 🙏🏽😊

*METAL KINGDOM* lyrics:
LYRICIST: Kitsune of Metal God
ARRANGER: TatsuoMetal
[Verse 1: Sumetal]
We’re going through the passing times
This world is crumbling
We live while wandering
A heart lost in darkness
Hold me tight until dawn
In that bright place
Aim for tomorrow
[Pre-Chorus: Moametal & Sumetal]
Raise your hands to the lord
Raise your voice to the world
Raise your flag. Let’s be together...
[Chorus: Sumetal]
Stand up KINGDOM
Unleash your FREEDOM
Endless journey. Endless dream
Wake up KINGDOM
Get it, FREEDOM
Raise the signal, go on without hesitation
Trust your friend
[Bridge: Sumetal]
Negative words
I don’t need a way back
In that bright place
Let’s live tomorrow
[Pre-Chorus: Moametal & Sumetal]
Raise your head to the lord.
Raise your sword to the sky
Raise your fists. Let’s be together...
[Chorus: Sumetal]
Stand up KINGDOM
Unleash your FREEDOM
Endless journey
Endless dream
Wake up KINGDOM
Get it, FREEDOM
Prove it Burn your life
Believe in miracles
[Verse 2: Sumetal]
It’s the beginning song
Deliver our voice
Resonate, our voices
Open up a new era
Let it ring, it’s our voice
Play it, our singing voice
[Chorus: Sumetal]
The sword of pledge
Raise it up for tomorrow
The unknown path
Create it with those hands
Stand up KINGDOM
Unleash your FREEDOM
Endless journey Endless dream
Wake up KINGDOM
Get it, FREEDOM
It’s dawn, bathing in the light
Cut through the darkness
