Album of the year 2014

Yea, it's still 5 months to the end of 2014, but I've already decided. Year ago it was Omnium Gatherum's "Beyond" to me, even though I made it clear it's the Melodeath album of the year, with Stratovarius taking Power Metal scene and Finntroll taking folk side. But overall the most listened to album was OGs.

This year it's Babymetal "Babymetal". If it's weird to You just listen to it, try not thinking about all the hate those guys and girls get and open Your mind a bit. It's a masterpiece, both in mixing and production, all songs are catchy, the guy which arranged them on the album was a genius- we have a shitload of hit songs and still they managed to place them in an order of an awesome album- You won't be bored by listening to the whole thing.

Don't think about it as a specyfic genre metal, there are many pop and j-pop elements, usually one song bows to other genres like hip hop, dubstep, reggae and typical anime soundtracks. We have all mixes of metal, I can clearly hear many power metal elements, heavy metal, progressive metal, even symphonic and death metal. Oh, and it's worth to mention about 90% songs is catchy as fuck, hell, shit, cuntjuice and others. Really, it will drill Your head with "heado-bang" and other weird sounds you have no idea how to write down but know how to sing.

Favourite song from the album? Well, impossible to choose for me, but I think most live shows show that Headbanger is nr. 1.

Oh, and I wanna thank the band behind the music of Babymetal- girls are awesome but the guys are talented and skilled beyond my expectations, and I watched enough live shows to notice these guys are a real deal (not the skeletons, they are only a visual fake band, I'm talking about mental patients :P ).

Ok, Galneryus guys are better, and I wish the world will notice one day.


Lyrics? Yeah, a bit simplistic, that's the charm. Omnium didn't have very deep lyrics too. So yeah, sod off.


Score? If You care enough- ok! 100% . Yes, more than Wintersun's Wintersun had from me. Haters gonna hate.

Just joking, not as good, some songs were only "fucking awesome", not "musical blowjobs awesome" so 96%. But for getting the metal scene so alive and fucking with so many genres without a condom they deserve a 100%, I'm just not as generous as You think :P

Rhod out, drunk as fuck, shout out to Grolsch beer, I had many too many
