J-pop and metal are brought together once again by a band talented enough to make it satisfying and highly enjoyable. The best part is that J-pop and metal are brought together once again by a band talented enough to make it satisfying and highly enjoyable. The best part is that the album doesn't ever sacrifice one genre in favor of the other. Even when it leans slightly more to one side for a track the other genre is still very present giving this album the edge it so clearly has. The balancing act is excellently performed.



It's heavy, catchy, fun, and even emotional. It's a work that shows real growth while still maintaining moments of the playfulness that made them stand out in the first place. From the more emotional ballads, heavy riffs, and upbeat, pop themes everything comes together in a wholly satisfying package.



The best of both genres are captured and brought together. Despite the band's name this is the kind of stuff no hardcore metal fan could be embarrassed of listening to. Babymetal shows real growth and that their debut album wasn't just a fluke. The metal idol trio have grabbed my attention and hopefully will grab the rest of the metal community's. I for one can't wait to see what comes next. Until then I have an outstanding album to help me wait.
