BABYMETALBabymetal Limited Release]

They are a great band and this CD / DVD purchase was a great choice. However due to stock i had to wait about 2 months for it to arrive. Only received after i cancelled the original order and re ordered.

Great band from Japan! sounds crazy! currently in my car playing all the time at the moment, would reccomend to anyone who likes Jpop and Metal

The most exciting band to come along in years, highly recommended, but not at this price. I got mine from Japan for half this

Get this version for the DVD, the last 28 minutes of live concert with the Kami Band is worth the money alone.

This group and the album were a surprise,a very nice and pleasant surprise.They offer a mix of Japanese pop and metal but after I heard itseveral times I can say there is more:punk, electronic... There is not a single bad song or filler in this album, all of them are fantastic and variety is one of the strong points about this band.The other important point is originality.A very refreshing and recommended album.Check it out,maybe you get surprised too.

Item arrived exactly 6 days early in perfect condition. Already have the original release but I want all releases of every album. This limited edition for a long time was going for over the 100 quid mark so when I saw it here so cheap I picked it up straight away. This is a must buy and I'm sure at some point again it will become rare and expensive again.

Llego en exelente estado, dos discos y el arte de la caja es muy buena, recomendado.

Ich habe BABYMETAL vor ein paar Jahren entdeckt und könnte sie fast ununterbrochen hören.

初回限定版が新譜で購入出来るとは思ってもみなかった当時の音声もあり最高の極み🤘

Ya conocía buena parte de los temas de este disco, y para ser un primer trabajo es bastante curiosoAlgunos temas tienen un fondo francamente infantil, otros son mas pesados, algo normal cuando hay cuatro años desde la salida del primer tema hasta que este disco aparece en el mercado, y su cantante pasa de unos 13 años a unos 17 mas o menos. La evolución es obvia en algunos temas y se ve como el productor pasa de un estilo puramente idol a uno mas comprometido con su proyecto de metal haciendo una curiosa fusiónBabymetal es un grupo único a día de hoy diría yo. No porque no haya tenido algún precedente o imitadores, sino porque contra todo pronostico la mezcla funciona. Supongo que por la dirección de su productor y creador.Es complicado recomendar este disco, ya que es uno de esos géneros que o te encanta o lo odias. Yo debo confesar que la primera vez que lo escuché quede horrorizado, la segunda un poco menos, y ha terminado gustándome.El que busque "niñas cantando metal" quedará posiblemente decepcionado. Esto es un concepto que mezcla géneros existentes, algunos temas tienen mas influencias de un tipo que de otros, y no hay una coherencia de estilos, sino que parece beber de todo lo que encuentra y lo convierte en algo nuevo.Ya se aprecia la calidad de su vocalista, algo que se podrá ver en conciertos y en su siguiente disco. La verdad es que tengo curiosidad por ver hasta donde llega el desarrollo de su voz

After intentionally avoiding any form of exposure to Babymetal since knowing about them last year (even avoiding video links from friends who highly recommend them), I purchased their debut album which compiles the group's singles since 2011.Simply put, while listening to the CD and watching the DVD, I caught myself nodding and tapping to their music. It's a journey of pop, rock, heavy metal, reggae, dubstep, symphonic, and oh yeah, death metal. The opening track of the album only gives a slight hint of what's to come for the next hour. Moving forward, you're peppered with the one combination a particular producer only once dreamed of: cute teenage vocals and heavy, heavy metal. I have a very limited understanding of the Japanese language, but the lyrics don't go too deep into what is usually taken up in the metal genre, instead talking about things a teenager would be dealing with (one of which is bullying). Think about K-On!: their homeroom teacher's metal band but voiced by the original K-On! members. One thing I must admit, the band members who are actually playing the music are very, very talented, who must have played in other bands of the same or similar genre.Things change when I watched the DVD. This is when the visual kei effect comes into play. These are three girls who started singing and dancing to this kind of music when they were 13 and 11 years old. The choreography, production value, and overall feel of the music videos and concerts give the viewer an initial sense of confusion, then either disgust or in my case, utter approval. The girls don't growl and they don't do any windmills (that would be cool though). What they do is sing, dance, jump around and flash hand gestures that seem to mimic and modify the metal horns of Dio.This mixture of genres and visual appeal proved to be a hit. It ends up polarizing purists of the genres they meld, but for the non-purists, general pop crowd, and the few who wished that the j-poppers would rock harder or that the symphonic metal acts of Europe had younger female vocalists, it works.
