>Since the new CD by Babymetal, ‘Metal Resistance’, landed in my mailbox a couple of weeks ago, I’ve listened to it a number of times, and the fact that I’ve received it for review has naturally made me listen to it in a different way than I’ve listened to the Babymetal material I ran into on YouTube previously. To be honest, I’ve considered what I saw and heard as a bit of a joke. I realise that what the three girls, Su, Yui, Moa and their backing band, Kami, do is no joke. This is business in the Kiss league. This is a brand in the making.

>From Dusk Till Dawn is boring, whereas GJ! has a fine nu-metal groove and a touch of Gwen Stefani. Sis. Anger is the most furious song of the album, bordering on death metal. This is where I have a very, very hard time with the teenage girl vocals.

>No Rain, No Rainbow is for those who like musicals. I don’t.

>As a contrast, Tales of the Destinies has a lot more life and let’s the Kami band experiment. By far the most interesting song of the album.
