I thought the first one was just ok, but this one sounds like it might be good. I will most likely give this a try.

Backed, that sounds heaps better! I thought the debut was pretty solid too, but based on this one song I'm a lot more excited about this one. Good on 'em. Party animals.

Listening to this right now. Only 4 songs in, but sounds very good! Somewhat of a Brother Firetribe feel to it...

 

EDIT: Hold that thought.... deeper in, it's less BF but I can't quite put my finger on who they sound like. Lots of gang vocals on the choruses.

 

At first blush, this may be one of the better releases of 2012.

I love the first WOF album so I'm hoping the newy is a goody but the lead song isn't doing much for me.

 

Really? Smokes anything off the debut single-handedly, imo.

I must admit, this turns out surprisingly well after one single spin coz I remember their debut is kinda average / weak. Out of 13 tracks, I think most of them are in the 80 - 85 range and probably only 3 tracks are 70 - 75. The ballads here, 'Tell Me' and 'Everytime' are pretty nice too. Tracks I like are 'Follow Your Heart', 'Don't Walk Away', 'Pain', 'Lay Your Body Down', and the two ballads mentioned. I guess this is worth 80% - 85% and I'm sure it's a nice buy!

I'll throw a rating at this one pretty soon. I'm predicting a mid 70's rating from me. Seemed like a nice slab of melodic rock. Like the debut it's nothing amazing, but it's a better album than the debut - good solid melodic rock.

Definitely a better disc than their debut. Still nothing ground-breaking, though, but very solid. Favourite tunes are 'Don't walk away,' Pain' and 'No Mercy.' Good effort.

Pretty good. I like it. Nothing that will set the world on fire...but definitely good stuff.

    • I wonder what control they have over the releases? That have promoted the BMG individual releases. The 2009 reissues were by original label, EMI. And this boxset seems weird being issued by Cherry Red. And I have not seen the bands social media promote it at all. I wonder if the reason the BMG ones were lacking in the bonus tracks from the previous reissue was EMI holding onto the rights, but have now allowed Cherry Red to release them. I know EMI used to be the distributer for Cherry Red, so they may be more forthcoming with the material.  
    • Yep, cracking indie release of which there are so many but this one is actually really good.
    • I have been a Band Maid fan since their early days (2015) as I really don't mind foreign vocals as long as the music is great, but I always kinda avoided Babymetal as I saw a video of them once and really wasn't impressed with the kiddy vocals, so never gave them another chance. Fast forward to now and on the back of the collab with Electric Callboy I have decided to give them a go. I thought they had a huge discography as they have like 25 albums, but on closer inspection it is only four studio albums and 21 live albums. As I am not a fan of live albums anyway, I decided to buy the four studio albums as they are all quite cheap. Have to say there music is a mixed bag, but overall really enjoying a lot of it. Not sure if I just picked the wrong song to start with, or if it is just that I have adapted more due to getting into a lot of weird and wonderful foreign bands over the last few years, but I am glad I finally gave them a proper go. Have to say, if this song was sung in English I think they would have a lot of fans on here  
    • Babymetal - Metal resistance Babymetal - The other one
    • Enjoyed their last cd "Human Nature" remind me of a mellower Black Stone Cherry, similar to Little Caesar.
    • BlackRain - Hot Rock Time Machine Lee Aaron - Bodyrock
    • Now theres a blast from the past  I'm lucky enough to possess 
    • Another i'm still awaiting the arrival of...same day release/delivery my arse Amazon  Still this is sounding like their best release thus far...they are gaining and getting better...although I did enjoy the last few albums also...but the sound/production from this one is excellent.
    • Still awaiting mine to arrive...should've been on Weds  or according to my order that was the case anyway
