(Sry for the wait, unfortunately having some health issues again...)
Hey everyone! If you are new here, I love japanese rock/metal music and already know and love a lot of amazing bands (My first exposure was Lovebites and Babymetal is my absolute favourite), but I never listened to Band-Maid before starting this reaction channel.
Now we are starting 'Unseen World', which I am very excited about! In general (from what I know so far) you could say I enjoy there newer music even more and I already heard this album is more aggressive, which I am eager to hear!

Hmm so since there are already more than 30 songs in this best-of list and I am basically just adding every new song to it (because they are all great xP) I decided to also try and do a personal TOP 10 list, which I will have to keep at 10 songs and change it around as we go.
My current TOP 10 Band-Maid songs:
-Mirage (studio+live)
-CLANG
-you.
-Manners
-Daydreaming
-Choose me
-NO GOD (love both versions)
-REAL EXISTENCE
-Different
-Why Why Why
-anemone
(This is already impossible xP)
(You can find a playlist for each of the albums I am reacting to on my channel, as well as some other playlists for anyone interested in exploring and discovering music! Check it out! ;)
Thank you all for being so nice and understandable! I wish you all a great day and hope you enjoy! :)

Giovanni is a masterpiece: Kanami's genius writing, of course; but also the way everyone holds all of these themes and layers together. Miku heard it all this as a story, specifically "Milky Way Railroad" by Kenji Miyazawa. It's a pretty surrealistic and ultimately sad novella (rhere is an anime version of the original, as well as a graphic novel). The way I interpret Miku's lyrics, they are the roller coaster reflections of Giovanni on the death of his friend Campanella, with lots of stops, starts, and changes, much like the galactic train of the novel.

I think this is a masterpiece and one of my favorites of the album. Perfectly controlled progressive chaos. Oh, and the instrumental is simply mind blowing.

Giovanni is a Burner for sure, very progressive. Most of this album was weird to me when it first came out but until I purchased and listened to it over and over and over it's just a masterpiece. The girls always push themselves up to and beyond their immediate talent for more...more...more!! Hope you get tested for covid, your symptoms are concerning. Music can wait, your health is priority, get better.

Definitely their most unique song. Not boring. I love the 2d breakdown section where Kanami plays the rock and roll riff (actually I really have no idea what the song structure is...in my mind it has 5 sections speed chaos, jazz, speed chaos, rock, speed chaos). There is an instrumental CD for UW and pretty much all the songs work great as instrumentals.

Imagine Miku getting handed this from Kanami and being told, " Okay, make lyrics for it." Miku is a lyrical genius that doesn't get the credit she deserves!

One of my favorites and probably the most impressive on many levels. It's just a proggy piece of brilliance!

@jamie4993 Жыл бұрын

Listening to any of these instrumental tracks they offer and you'll find depths of complexity that aren't immediately obvious with the vocals present. Only a few began as true instrumentals which then had lyrics written afterwards (usually at Saiki's request). This is just how Kanami seems to approach her composition and song writing.

This song is so experimental for them. I really didn't like it at first. It felt so chaotic, it was so unconventional, the structure was everywhere. I couldn't tell what was the chorus or what was considered a verse or bridge or whatnot. What helped me appreciate the song was watching Ryan Mear's reaction to it, as he immediately loved it and it helped open up a new way of appreciation for me. I would suggest checking his reaction out for this song!

Thank you for your reaction. This one, like Black hole, sorry for the spoiler, really tests the one trying to understand it. It is great but it combines many aspects of music. I’m thinking, welcome to the Unseen World, and it seems like they really mean it. :)

That is one of the things I really love about BAND-MAID, not only can they play totally different styles of rock but in so many cases, they use different styles in the same song. Simply mind blowing, never knew a band to do that much less make it all in a way that makes it so pleasing to my ears. And so you know......I had to listen to Revolution No 9 several times before I could really appreciate it. lol

Definitely the most progressive song of their IMHO. Wait til you hear Without Holding Back as well. Kanami is not a songwriter she's a composer

I love the song. It took me some time to get my head around it, but I think it is a great song. Very experimental for Band-Maid. If they decide to add more experimental songs...... experimental for Band Maid, at least..... I will not complain. I love this album. I have been a Maidiac since 2017 and "Unseen World" is my favourite album. Love all that came before and after, but as a "single" release, Unseen World is my favourite. Just a note..... The last 2 songs just continue on the same path as the others before. I predict that Unseen World will become your new favourite Band-Maid album.

Well, that should have been a little injection of energy, right? :) That they added lyrics to this is something that still surprises me today. Amazing job by our little pigeon and the Queen. :) The instrumental video shows and lets you really hear how crazy the song actually is. I'm already looking forward to hearing what you have to say about the finale of this album. 🤭🔥🤘🏻 Gute Besserung und die besten Grüße! _____________________ 「 _'Our rock never dies ever.

Great reaction! Pretty much mirrors mine when I first heard Giovanni. It's very experimental - all the dissonance, seemingly unrelated sections, and mass insanity - but some of the ideas they were playing with here get expressed in more mature forms on the Sense single and Unleash!!!!! EP. At this point I enjoy some sections and tolerate others. I don't care for the straight speed sections, but the first off-beat section is amazing. I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks! Really looking forward to Unleash, too 👍

@kicorse Жыл бұрын

Sorry to hear you're unwell. My first reaction to Giovanni was similar to yours, and I wasn't even ill at the time. It's one of three songs, along with Different and H-G-K, that started out near the bottom of my list of favourite Band-Maid songs but is now near the top. The instrumental version helped a lot. For a while I felt the vocals were a layer too many, but I'm now very happy they're there. Get well soon.

I love this song. Kanami's writing is brilliant all through Unseen World, but here she really shows her potential. She's not completely mature yet, songs like this are still rough around the edges, but one day she will be among the best. I hope Band Maid keeps moving in different directions to make that possible.

The instrumental is so cool but then you add the lyrics and the melody her voice is adding just totally changes the song like its a whole new song.

Maybe you need a context to appreciate what the song is. Giovanni is a character from a fantasy book. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_on_the_Galactic_Railroad The song is in a specific point in the story. Other maidiacs that know more can tell in detail.

Ha Ha another song where any band would say we have an idea for an album and Band Maid say this is enough for one song. Been looking at the lyrics of some of the early Miku album led lyrics. Some of them really are worth a deep dive. Band Maid just doing Band Maid. Hope you feel well soon. Take two Band Maid songs with every meal and you should be ok.

I really like the second half of this song The first half seems very cluttered almost like they had a bunch of ideas and through them at a board the ones that stuck they used discarding the ones that fell to the floor but this is just the first listen so we'll check it out some more

Gute Besserung !! The best is yet to come. He He. And this was not the fastet Song on the Album. In the istrumental Version you can really hear the different Instruments and what they are playing, what Kanami plays is crazy and Akane is going off ! BTW from the instumental Version is for every Maid a Video. You can see only Misa the whole Song or only Akane etc.

@kc62301 10 ай бұрын

The second video is to help musicians learn to play their song. It does not have all the flourishes they add, or the studio mixing, I think. Kind of a bare bones version. Just my opinion.
