BABYMETAL - Metal Resistance - Review

There's just something about BABYMETAL, something at always makes me smile about what I'm listening to.  The way they mix J-Pop (which I really don't listen to, but we all know it's energetic to hear.) and heavy metal.  And this trio of girls, still quite young to be in a metal band at 18 and 16 just bring the good vibes in an onslaught of a sophomore album.  Usually you hear mixed vibes about bands' sophomore albums, often known as the "sophomore slump", but this is quite different.

I knew that they were coming out with Metal Resistance, after I heard the self-titled.  But I really didn't realize that it would be coming out at this point until I heard their song (and saw their video for the song) KARATE.  They brought forth one of the greatest I have heard from them, apart from Megitsune, Gimme Choko, and prett much all the songs from their self-titled. Parts of the chorus had me just melting, and bringing out the kawaii and of course, what listeners are sometimes describing as "Kawaii Metal), which truly fits.

Something that I really love about BABYMETAL's album is how different it is from the Babymetal album itself. Not that it was bad.  In fact it was fantastic to say the least, with mixing genres to bring a new, groundbreaking sound.  Every song from Metal Resistance is different, but the band themselves say that the songs are "more upbeat", which is true, but in my eyes the stands for a lot  of the music that they produce, with passion, but that's already known. 

Metal Resistance is everything I love about BABYMETAL, and more. From beginning to end, the vocals and instrumentals are amazing.
