I smell a Grammy. They 100% should win one. Fans will go ape shit

Herman Li was right. He said after watching Divine Attack, they will keep their best for the album 😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼

KOBA openly admitted that he likes fucking with the fans!😂 In the Japanese magazine PMC where they interview him, he says he likes to keep everything ambiguous and to keep the fans guessing. He's the biggest Babymetal troll of them all!

Thank you for making me know the secrets behind the sound. We still have an extra excitement to come seeing Moa dancing🤘🦊 Lucky me, I'm going to see them in Yokohama in a week.

I can only imagine 20,000 people singing "Say My Name!" with Moa... with choreography designed to encourage it. Rather, I can easily imagine it. I just can't wait to witness it.

BABYMETAL have achieved the (almost) impossible on this album, they have maintained their essence. Whilst creating a more mature sound in keeping with the girls current age, all the while ensuring that you know its undeniably them,,,,,, Genius level production🦊🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The interviews they've been giving have been interesting,for instance in the Billboard Japan interview Su called this album a spin-off of Babymetal. The future for this group is going to be fascinating to see

Maya, believing and metalizm .... holy shit im happy :D i was one of the dudes who flamed "not enough Metal" but that Album ... holy shit the trasition from song to song is so amazing. Im really happy with that masterpiecealbum

Koba definitely trolled us with them softer tracks, Monochrome and Light and darkness. Dragged out the moaners and haters and then bashed them over the head with mirror mirror. Maya takes a different but equally metal path. Cue the confused doubters.😂😂 Love it. Pure genius. 🦊🦊🔥🦊🦊

I wouldn't be surprised Kobametal did that. 🙂

Love this. I really hear some BMTH vibes (listen to the opening “Obey” riff..) This is a good thing and would make sense after King slayer) This is actually a track that could get mainstream airplay 🤟🏻🤟🏻❤

Nice reaction. Babymetal is too humble to have a song about them. But when I heard this song. All I kept thinking is this song could have been called Moa. She's got the power. She's even singing to Su to say her name. Babymetal is such a fun journey. I'm glad they saved some for the album. Overall, IMO the released songs are like appetizers and the rest of the album a several course meal. I'm full and I still want more. Babymetal everything you want in music and somethings you didn't know you needed.

I have heard a few people call the "say my name" part cringe, but I like the chorus and how it integrates into the song a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if this turned out to become my favourite song of the album.

That was fun, I really enjoyed it, thank you.🤘🦊🤘

Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。 You are correct again. That is Moa. Regarding "Maya", Su said "I like the call and response part by Moa's voice and mine" [source: PMC vol. 27 page 40]. (After Su talked about the intricacy and novelty of this album) Su also said "I believe you should firstly pick up one favorite song and start to face with it. If you try to face all of the songs in this album all at once like I did, you must be confused (LOL)" ... You know? Our queen kindly advised us how to deal with this new album after she herself had already confused us a lot. The problem is which is the best song that I should pick up first as my favorite one. 😄

I knew you were gonna freak out when you heard Moa! :)

I’m loving your breakdowns of these awesome songs. I’m a HUGE BABYMETAL fan, and after a few listens I’m already thinking this is their best album. Going to be tough to top for the rest of the year, in my opinion. Audio perfection.

That opening and main riff reminds me something you get from a FPS video game, a little Mick Gordon, but it actually reminds me of some of the stuff Andrew Hulshult did of the soundtrack of DUSK and PRODEUS.

Maya is great. Personally, my favorite from this album is Believing. I do agree that Koba was trolling all the naysayers that BabyMetal lost they way.

"Did KOBAMETAL troll us?" 🤣 Of course he did! 🤘🦊⚡

This and Metalizm I was blown away

It's so awesome to see that people felt the same way as me. This song blew me away and I had to listen to it over again to let it sink in.

MAYA is a great song. The dark and heavy melody of this song reminded me of the music of Lamb of God. Thank you for the nice reaction. From Japan with love.

想像(創造)越えてくるよね😄

Your reaction feels the love of BABYMETAL ! ✨🦊✨ From 🇯🇵

> "Did Koba-Metal troll us?" The question rather should be: When he didn't troll us! It's his favorite spare time to troll The One!

They kept from us all the best songs!!!

One of my personal favs on the album dude god they are impressing the crap out of me

Just discovered this channel this week - really liked the breakdown and truthfully just seeing someone enjoying some kickass metal music was awesome...even throwing in a Ric Flair "woooo" when the metal thrashing begins!! 🤘🔥 People/gatekeepers saying what metal "needs to be" truly dont get the point of metal or even rock n' roll!

Today is the beginning of BABYMETAL’s new history. Let’s pray for success !✨🦊✨ YOKOHAMA PIA ARENA MM(MinatoMirai)Day-1 & Day-2💫 From 🇯🇵

You watch the teaser Alan with the Gaijin guys I already knew MAYA is gonna be a banger same with Believing these two are badass song🔥 and I think you gonna love Metalizm too like you said and Wave 🦊🤘

great reaction! Do we still have people say BABYMETAL songs are not "METAL" enough?

😎 🤘🤘🤘 This is going to be amazing live, can’t wait to see what the do with the performance! 🤘🤘🤘

vibed with it a super lot. epic level of quality. Really cool band, super talented, pretty eclectic

I could legit rave about this song for hours. It's so deceptively simple, and you could easily not notice that it's this beautiful marriage of Taylor Swift and Meshuggah. The more I play it on drums the more I understand Anthony Barone just rocking the fuck out every time he plays this live. It's so goddamn catchy and fun, but technically doesn't have any complicated parts on any limb. If you can paradiddle, you can play this song. But if utterly slaps and is in a key lower than I've ever played live. Probably my favorite Babymetal song and SuMetal absolutely kills it.

YES

Woow probably one of my fav too.

What is the software you use for separating them? It's cool!

Welcome back to BabyMetal's metalverse 🦊🤘🌐 The album is getting better with every new track. This is one of the most enigmatic for me, when you see the credits you'll know what I'm talking about. Regardless is the best track to hedoban for me.🦊🤘🔥 The nasty riffs will remind you to "Ice Nine Kills - Rainy Day", and probably some people will complain about it, just remember they got inspiration from another song that's heavily famous called Awolination - Run, used a lot of time in memes. The name Maya only reminds me a couple of things, like certain little bee, a character from a fighting game called Killer Instinct I used to love, and of course the ancient tribe from Mexico, not sure who is Maya here, maybe the new official member, new tag? OTFGK. Here's some official info: MAYA (ILLUSION) _Reality is an illusion. The truth may be a deception._ _It is a feeling as if you wandered in between the Real World and the Virtual World. It may be magic, or it may be an illusion._ Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this new track, i would love to see them performing live next festival, just imagine.🦊🤘🔥 Composer: KANAMETAL, MEGMETAL Lyricist: MAYA-METAL Arranger: MEGMETAL [Lyrics] You got the power. You got the power, MAYA. Magic power. Magic power, MAYA. "Say my name." You are the magic. Illusion, "Say my name." If I could cast you a spell, "Say my name." It’s an illusion. I'd trick you with a fake. "Say my name." On a night dreams are broken and sparks fly, we could know each other since no end comes. How would you know the difference between the virtual world and the real world? Maybe what you see with your eyes is all an illusion. "Say my name." You are the magic. Illusion, "Say my name." Now that I cast you a spell, "Say my name." It’s an illusion. I'll show you a fake. "Say my name." If it's a pipe dream, wait till dawn even with a mere hope for wishes come true. "Say my name." You are the magic. Illusion, "Say my name." Once the spell is lifted, "Say my name." It’s an illusion. the fake will be gone. "Say my name." As if it was all a dream, smashed up into a chill morning. When you wake up, you'll find I'm gone from here.

I LOVE ALL OF THE TRACKS, but what really struck me was the believing and metalizm. The time wave was trying to lure me. It kept on playing in my mind ever since😅

The chords during the chorus are awesome

Yep it’s up there. It’s gonna absolutely slay in the live shows. Imagine Su’s live vocals here it’s gonna smash and the Kamis will have the time of their lives with those riffs.

🍅💀🍅 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼 Love it !

Mirror Mirror and ALL the remaining songs that were released yesterday are INSANELY creative. I was literally SHOCKED as I listened to each one! No other BABYMETAL album has BLOWN MY MIND like this one! WOW! 🤘🦊🤘

someone has posted a video of the concert when it was shown in the theatre ..you need to hear Monochrome live

Metalizm. Monochrome. Mirror Mirror. Maya. Daaang it. They all start with M!

Metalizm is my religion

Amazing analysis, I really enjoyed it. "I swear to God that Kobametal trolled us". Yeah, it's what he does best. 😁 And it looks like it's working! Okay, to be fair, we usually joke about his marketing tactics (and some hate them), but he knows what he's doing. And I'm very grateful for all what he has given to us. See you later! 🤘🦊

Ooooo. Somebody's upping their Moa thumbnail game! And am i the only one feeling just a bit of heat hearing Moa going 'say my name' 🤣

That’s a bop

Koba is a longtime, proven troll and I honestly love it. To this day I hold that Awadama Fever was written while Koba used his other hand to flip off a scroll of “It’s not Metal, it’s bubblegum pop” comments.

I really appreciate how you separate the tracks and break down the songs. I've been an audiophile my entire adult life, but now in my 50's I've decided to learn the drums. So understanding how songs are pieced together and why certain decisions are made is the next level of my musical appreciation. I watch a lot of reactions, but I LEARN a lot from you and Champ. Just know your work and effort is making a difference.

This one awesome

Maya is my favorite track on the album. Mirror Mirror a distant second. Maya is there big hit for this album. Need to play it live. Time Wave is cool for a pop song, Metalizm is just an experience.

LITERALLY the best BABYMETAL song so far, I was headbanging to this so much I almost fel out my chair when I listened to it for the first time

Maybe this is the best album for me.... Just like riding a rollercoster of sound and feeling...

Yo i thought i was the only one thinking Maya is so so good.

🔥🦊🔥

Do you like that song? 😂 Thanks Alan for another great breakdown. I have 2 questions though: 1. I assume they add in the underlying sound elements later, after the vocals and the main guitars? 2. There is a lot of distortion of the vocals. Why is that needed? Just to fit the feel of the song?

🔥🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥 awesome!

I hear two voices in the backup vocals. is this possibly a hint as for the rumored third member? This makes it sound like the original BabyMetal where it was Moa and Yui. I wonder....

Fantastic song, I like it (A LOT!!) ❤️❤️❤️🤘🔥🦊 Thanks for the breakdown Alan!

I know this is the perfect BM album because the metal only ppl say there's too much pop and the jpop ppl say there's too much metal 😊

I was frothing at the mouth for this one and it did not disappoint. 🤘🦊🤘

This song is obey vibe by bmth

Really digging the Mick Gordon BFG Division vibe, sick riffs

The suspicion almost forces itself that this was a wanted move of Koba-Metal. At least with the part of the album that we only now get to hear, the words should stick in the throats of everyone who whined that the previous songs were too soft. 🤭🤘🏻 _____________________ 「 _Look inside the mirror of you. Can you say now is the best of who you are?_ 」--- *Nemophila* 'RISE' 💮

I told you this one was awesome. Now, wait until you get to METALIZM 🤘🦊🤘

Best song from the new album

All the new songs are amazing. But Yava! is still my favorite.

I mean Koba invented all that silly confusing fox god lore (that I honestly kinda like lmao), he's been trolling is since day 1 LOL. I agree with the title though. MAYA is the best song on the album for me, and is right up there with Megitsune and Syncopation as their top songs.

To answer the question, no it's not their best song. That would be Megitsune or akatsuki

How'd you get these stems?

YEA! Now this is powerful yet tender! Best of the last five songs from BABYMETAL!

Okkkkk but how did you get split audio files 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

How'd you get the stems?

awesome, Metalizm is fire also. should do a band reaction to the full album.

Another fantastic reaction to this next level band....i am convinced Moa is being slowly given more of a role in the singing .... i believe her voice is now really complimenting Su's voice..... Love the reaction sir

For those who are interested: use Audacity, cut out the vocals with the filter > you will find interesting vocal lines in the chorus.

Awesome tune....instant fav

I wad trolled by koba and i couldn't be more happy.

Time wave pls

I TOLD YOU SO!! Was I lying when I said it assaults you with some awesome sound? Like I said in my review on discord, it gets better and better. Is this where I exclaim like a late night TV commercial, "BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!!"?

I think the reason for not releasing the heavier stuff as MVs and singles is because they wanted the more "accessible" songs to be presented to the wider audience; since the core fans who are into the heavier sound would dive deeper to get the juicy stuff anyways. p.s. for Moa fans out there, y'all gonna love the song "Believing"

Metalizm

This song is too darn powerful. The Replay button has been raped by many.

👍😃💐🙏

METALIZM in my opinion

It is? I rank the songs in this album something like this... 1- Metarizumu 2- The Legend 3- Maya 4- Divine Attack 5- Metal Kingdom 6- Believing 7- Mirror Mirror 8- Monochrome 9- Time Wave 10- Light and Darkness But all are really good, only LaD I think it is mid.

I just heard the rest of the album for the first time, and I wouldn't be surprised if Koba was indeed trolling us with the choice of single releases.

🦊🦊🦊

Told you 😅

I think this album is more metal-oriented, reflecting on the previous album, which was more pop-oriented. This may be one of the reasons why it is easier for us metal lovers to listen to.

I think Koba was trolling us. I thought this was going to be a snooze fest, but holy F#$@, there's some heavy stuff on here.

Meow

Is Maya the BEST BABYMETAL Song? Yeeeeessss! All songs are great, but Maya is pure magic of songwriting

I think Maya may be one of the best songs babymetal has done.

first comment, give me heart :D

What a weird way to spell "Mirror Mirror"
