Metal Galaxy

I had heard of Babymetal before, but the name put me off…it’s ridiculous, and I don’t see how its related to the music in any way. So, why did I buy this? I learned that Kari band formed the core of Kami band, and I really liked the EP Kari Ongen. I then learned that Tim Henson and Scott Lepage played on this record, and I am a fan of new and unusual music, so, yeah. BTW, props to Amazon for carrying Kari Ongen. One note of caution…if Polyphia, Animals as Leaders, or Aristocrats are bands you have difficulty listening to, don’t buy this record. You’ll hate it.On to the details. Pro: Most of the songs are really good. Con: At times, the songs sound wildly overproduced. Of note: The unexpected star here is the vocalist, Nakamoto Suzuka, aka Su-metal. She is fire, plain and simple. She sings a mix of traditional Japanese vocals and Chinese Opera, J-Pop, a little Bollywood, some Rock, and even raps in a in a most unconventional style over industrial metal on BxMxC. The result is a tour de force of rangy and deeply evocative vocals. If you are new to this style of music, it may take some getting used to, as the vocals are more nasally than most western music, and tend to dwell in microtones (the notes within a half step, you know, between the white and black keys on a piano). Nakamoto also has the ability to create a resonant sound in her vocal chords, similar to voicing, where she’s not harmonizing with herself, but broadening the spectrum of her voice, exactly where she needs to. That’s rare, and she is ascendant.In terms of tracks, just skip Future Metal and In The Name Of. They’re filler on an already long 2 disc set. Oh Majinai I think is a joke…and I don’t get it, so yeah…the rest are really good. My ranking top to bottom would be Brand New Day, Kagerou, Night Night Burn, BxMxC, Shanti Shanti Shanti, Shine, Starlight, Up Down Left Right BBAB, and then the rest. If I were to curate a 30 second clip to preview, I’d say Night, Night, Burn, from about 1:15 to 1:45. That 30 seconds reflects the diversity that is the essence of this album. One last thought, if you can afford it, get the Japanese release. It has 2 really good tracks not on the international release.

The package came in a big box. When i opened it, i thought, “oh no! I ordered the vinyl version on accident!” When i opened the case, i saw the cds. the album booklet was also big. the cds are brand

Simply addictive to listen to! A must have for BABYMETAL fans!!!

good condition but it says it’s the japanese ver so it includes bxmxc but it doesn’t and has the eng ver of elevator girl too

Got this in yesterday and it's huge, thought I was sent the album version but it 2 cd disc. The cd set contain all the song lyrics half English and Japanese. Also come with a sticker code but it in Japanese but I believe it might be use for digital download to cellphone as they show a pic. It is worth the high price? keep in mind this a import so expect to be expensive, it does contain 2 songs not on the international version both are very good plus the cover is super cool. If your're fan of Babymetal like me then this set was worth the money.

If you expect Baby Metal to be a full on heavy metal band, then this album is a real shock to the system. Say hello to one of the most original releases of 2019. This album reminds me of eighties radio and it emulates it perfectly. Kobametal really shows his chops here as a producer as the production is simply breathtaking. From heavy beats, to break downs, the songs are cut with micro laser precision. This is not for people whom want more of the same, but demand that their records be listened to, and digested cognitively. Enjoy.

i love it no issues

This is an AMAZING version of this AMAZING album. I thought the order was wrong and I got a vinyl, but it is packaged like a Vinyl. The Box is amazing, the included Booklet is amazing. On top of this, the album itself is just amazing. A real MUST HAVE for BabyMetal fans that prefer the Japanese releases.

se le agradece a vendedor muy amable y rápido el producto llego

alles ok

Babymetal ist mein absolutes weirdo thing. Einmal darauf eingelassen kommst du nie mehr davon los. Für Leute die kein bock mehr auf den Einheitsbrei im Metal haben genau richtig. Einfach mal riskieren. 😄😄🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Metal Galaxy delle BABYMETAL rappresenta un'evoluzione musicale sorprendente rispetto ai loro lavori precedenti. Le canzoni sono più complesse e sperimentali, con una produzione di alta qualità. Un album che dimostra la loro capacità di abbracciare nuovi stili senza perdere la loro unicità. Un passo avanti notevole nella loro carriera musicale.

Haven’t listened to it but good condition
