Hehe, I get what you mean. But in his case it's just how genuinely enthusiastic he seems pointing out all kinds of stuff about the songs that makes me sure there is no bullshitting. Or he's an amazing actor.
Is it possible to get better and better? Yeah,they're called BAND MAID! I'm a retired bass player and have been in several bands and I can honestly say , " I wish I were in a band like this!"
Misa's bass tone is indeed perfect. Every time Misa is just going to town I have such a stupid smile on my face. I love the whole band but that bass just gets me every time.
That´s the real strength of MISA in my opinion. I mean she is playing her own thing almost in every song, she is so damn talented, but she does it in a way you recognize her bass right away without stealing the show! She is maybe one of the bass players today, but she is an total teamplayer and that´s awesome and the perfect fit for Band-Maid and Kanami´s style of songwriting!
You know what this is absolutely the best way to put it you are so right you couldn't be any more righter ( is that a word) literally decades ssoooo true thank you be well
The name MISA in Japanese means 'Beautiful Bloom, Help'. Kanami has written an album that allowed MISA to truly bloom in an explosion of sound and power.
This is definitely one of the best dirty and nasty intros I've ever heard. I have now listened to the whole album in order maybe 50 times, and these 15 seconds in the beginning of I Still Seek Revenge are so prominent every time.
I really think Kanami’s greatest strength is her lack of ego. She’s always writing songs in a way that lets all the members shine. She could easily write the songs to focus only on her. She clearly understands the power she has as the only song writer of the band and chooses to never hog the spotlight. She clearly loves riffs and soloing but restrains herself so it’s never the Kanami show all the time. She really is the perfect lead guitarist.
MISA owns it with this heavy funk groove. Her bass lines remind me of some "Miyavi" stuff and from back in the day the "Infectious Grooves" ( especially, Punk It Up). Love it.
MISA MISA MISA! She's really going crazy in this one and they put her all the way in the front which is just incredible. I don't know alot of other bands that will show off their bassist this much. But then, there's not alot of bands where the bassist does this kind of stuff. Or maybe I just couldn't hear it? :D
Misa's mighty creative bass work is being realized to be one of their great standout qualities. She has pushed her abilities and worked to integrate those skills into the songs as much as any of them, which is a high bar to clear. I don't know any other bassist offhand working it this well and this hard. And there are some great ones out there. When I try to think of bass players this creative and versatile, I think of maybe Jack Bruce of Cream, Chris Squire of Yes, Geddy Lee of Rush... Misa is right up there, standing tall on her own. The tunes on this album are getting the respect they are for many reasons, but Misa's bass, her creativity, her tone, everything she's doing is a big part of these tunes working so well, and it was true wisdom to make her tracks prominent! Wayyyy back... Genya Ravan was asked by Hilly Crystal to listen to the Dead Boys play live at CBGB's and consider producing a record for them. She went, she listened, she turned to Hilly and was like, A little rough, but they have talent. But we gotta have a bass player. Without bass there is no rock. So I'm thinking the corollary is, bass is rock.
Kanami letting the others shine more. Exactly what I thought when the Manners MV came out. She watered the seeds Miku planted, they grew, they are blossoming BIG now.
Not sure if you ever got the chance to see the video, but the bass line from this is almost identical to one that misa used for the intro to "play" at their zepp tokyo tour in 2018. Not that im complaining about that, because its still one of my favorite live performances and im extremely happy they reused some of that bass line. They write a lot of those fancy riffs just to play them live to make songs more fresh, but a lot of them go unused and become forgotten about once the tour is done, so i see the bass in this song as a sort of throwback to that version of play (since theyve replaced the intro) and it makes me super happy
Kanami during listening party: "During the COVID-19 Pandemic, I wrote this song while feeling all sorts of unease and anxiety. I wanted to retain these feelings in the song. I asked MISA to add in some cool Slap Bass, and she did so just as I had imagined. That's MISA for you!"
The struggle is real...taken individually, each member of Band-Maid more than exceeds expectations in technical proficiency, execution, verve, and class. Taken together as a cohesive unit, they're a tactical nuke.
I'm willing to bet this song would sound so sick live. If it sounded off the charts from the CD then just imagine it live. I'm hoping it gets played if they do another online okyu-ji.
I wonder if the amazing quality of the musical compositions on this album is in part related to Covid-19 shutting down live-performances for most of this past year. I was rather amazed, previously, by their ability to put on so many live-performances and still find time to compose great new music. Perhaps having more time on their hands went into focusing even more time on song-writing?
You’re not wrong. In all the interviews they’ve said that while they didn’t actually change their songwriting style or process... they had a lot more time to focus on polishing each song this time before final recording... that’s the main difference. More QC I guess? The other being their psychological state due to the pandemic influencing the music I guess.
Thank you! Your first few were so enlightening I joined your Patreon to hear the rest before tonight’s Listening Party #BMUWLP. Awesome 2 hours of your time. Thank you again! And here I am watching it again on TH-cam.
I don't get into long winded responses. I have mentioned before my discovery of Band Maid was an accident, It was Saiki's vocal that caught my attention. I then listened to a few more audios on youtube ,.enjoyed them all . Then I came across the reactor Static Age ,.Listened to a few of their videos regarding B-M . From there I found you , then Chase Carnison . The knowledge you have regarding music has helped me understand just how good this band is . I thank you for that.
I Still Seek Revenge is really a nice title, mainly for a MISA song, as she was forgotten as a band member by the peple the produced the leaflet od the new album.
Funny that MISA posted on Twitter a photo of the new album and book that comes with the deluxe edition...and they left her off!! She wrote her name at the bottom of the list of band members. How anyone could forget her is beyond me!
This song is MISA saying, "What if I took the pop-slappy bit from the live intro to 'Play' and turned it into an entire song? The rest of you could find something to do in the background, right?"
This song definitely has Misa's stamp on it. Her choice of bass and the way she plays it just fits the whole package incredibly well. Unbelievable that they 'forgot' her name on the photo book of the Ltd. Edition of the album. The morons in quality control should be fed to Misa. 😈
The quintessential assassins of old Japan were the ninja. They were said to be invisible...hehehe...So, don't be too hard on the morons in quality control--you can't name what you can't see! hahaha
Maybe there's a barefoot assassin/revenge theme going on here, which is why she's so in it?! hehe. It;'s funny I only latched onto that bass drum transition towards the end whilst watching this reaction commentary, but OMFG, that is buttery smooth and as bad and precise as it gets.
👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎You are awesome!!! And Band-Maid too, This album is EPIC in my opinion, the best will arrive with the next songs, believe me, H-G-H, Why Why Why, Chemical Reaction, Honkai, are pure arts in Rock like I have no listened to for decades, Black Hole is full of old psychedelic English taste, like Peter Hammill 70 songs, in Giovanni, there are some beautiful transitions and time changes and beautiful voices, in this album, Misa is completely out of the schemes she is crazy, the chorus in Black Hole is unique, this album is a must to have. Sayonakidori is the only song a little too J pop-rock, but always band Maid made. In a total of 12 songs 11 are awesome, no other band can do this.
@@sjnix7044 Get off my black cloud. This is my rainbow, and my starry shark. I bring you fresh set of thunder, folks (btw., who stole my banana?) Via the milky way in sneakers or high heels? Why someone put this comet in my coffee pot? Stars chit chat.
I hear what you mean about not wanting to come through like you bullshitting, I feel the same way when I tell all my fellow musician friends about this Band. Having seen the girls live 2x and obviously am a big fan of their music and talent, I am getting nervous that with this album, they will be having a hard time mixing these songs with some of their previous for a well rounded concert/ I feel their genre almost changed a bit with this album, altho being one of their best. I personally feel Kanami had a bit more pressure from Misa and Akane as to composing while being cooped up for the entire last year because of covid.
Two things Champ. 1. What do you think of the mix? Ive seen some fans complaining it's too compressed or questioning some of the choices throughout the last two albums. 2. Are you on Facebook much? If so, come join the crew at the US group at Band-Mad Masters and Princesses. facebook.com/groups/131703054031682 You are taking the lead for composers and musicians channel regarding this band and its awesome mate.
In my opinion, this is their best mixed album yet. It’s no way as compressed as Conqueror, the backing vocals shine excellently through the mix, and it’s just a nice audio journey despite how hard and heavy they are going instrumentally
1. The mix is awesome and I can't understand the complaints... as a headphone user. Listening through your phone speakers won't do it justice. 2. The Champ does not use Facebook but does appreciate the love ya'll are showing.
@@TheChampOfMedium Thanks Champ. Sounds fine to me, but I'm not an audiophile and just know I like it or not. Too bad about FB mate, but thanks for all your are doing.
@@TheChampOfMedium on nr 1 - the complaints were for "World Domination" and "Conqueror". Especially on the later it was ... suboptimal ^^" Both were overly compressed, think like that one Metallica album where everyone went to buy the Guitar-Hero game, because it sounded better there XD Loudness-war Second biggest complaint for Band-Maid was that Miku is almost unhearable in the (studio) mix (you mentioned so yourself on "DICE" btw). Or if you could hear her - her and Saiki sounded almost indistinguishable, very very similar voices. That being said - I have NO complaints for "Unseen World"! It sounds awesome! They really stepped up their game on this part too. I'm happy. Everything is very clear in the mix. Vocally both sound great. A lot of people also mentioned that Miku really beefed up on "UW" - and, yes, she did - but she did also a great job vocally on "Conqueror" before too... It lacked in post-process :(
Well, it starts with the same bending up D-flat note, coz the song has been wrote in the same scale I guess. Plus that signature Mincho's PRS tone. All these together reminds me a CLANG too. ^_^ P.S. Also the same tempo
It's seems to me they've transitioned from straight ahead rock and roll to prog rock. That's not a bad thing, they are constantly evolving. Just go back and listen to the early albums, it's remarkable. Maybe on the next album we'll see a double album with a 20 minute opus.
I gotta say, the album is actually very good. Originally my favorite album was BAND-MAIDs Just Bring It album. I starts off with: Dont You Tell ME, Puzzle, Moratorium, YOLO, Cross. The other great songs in there are Take me Higher!! So What?, you. (
I feel similarly, Just Bring It I put at number 1 after my first listen of Unseen World, but after a few more listens I'll need to revaluate Just Bring It. Chemical Reaction is honestly the only song that isn't good, but it's not like it's bad, it's more what it has to compete with across the album. I feel if Chemical Reaction was shorter and Black Hole was longer I would give it to Unseen World for number 1 and if it's that close I should probably just give it to Unseen World as I think musically so much more is going on in this album compared to Just Bring It, even though Just Bring It has some really great songs.
@@firefoyx I actually think Chemical Reaction has its own charm. It’s veeeeeeery simple and laid-back, at least by BM standards, and that’s very rare to hear from them. Also, I absolutely love the cowbell in that song
"Just Bring It" was also my favorite album before "Unseen World". I love "World Domination", but none of my favs are on it. "Conqueror" has higher highs than "WD", but also lower "lows". "Just Bring It" was the better album in my mind. With the release with "Unseen World" - I don't know. It might still be... or it might take the second place for me, time will tell Not a big fan of "Take Me Higher" btw., besides the Kanami-MISA back-and-forth it doesn't do that much for me. Puzzle, Moratorium and Secret My Lips maybe the biggest three of JBI... But like you (johneg27) - I fuk'n adore "you."! It's not the fastest, hardest, ... song - but I absolutely LOVE it! agree about "OOPARTS", up to this point they never performed this one live. I think it's the only one with that fate (well, "UW" songs will be performed in the near future)

There's literally not one bad song on this album. I do have my favourites, but absolutely none of them will get the "skip" treatment. I am honestly curious on how he'll react to Giovanni and black hole. Madness followed by .. well.. black hole. Nothing can describe what black hole is.
Hey Champ PLEASE do yourself a Favor and react to the official Videos for Band Maids Endless Story, Glory, Bubble, and Yolo. And also VERY important Band Maiko s Gion Cho. I assure you it will blow you away in more then 1 aspect. and even after over 45 Band Maid Songs Yolo is still my Favorite. Oh you need to check out their BEST Power Ballad called Daydreaming. Its different then most other Band Maid Songs.
I keep waiting for you to talk about the mix, which gets between me and the music. Compare with those nice clean live concert mixes where I can hear every detail of every instrument. Love the music, don't love the mix.
'How do I talk about this stuff without you guys thinking I am bullshitting you' is one of the most perfect things any reaction/reviewer has said
Hehe, I get what you mean. But in his case it's just how genuinely enthusiastic he seems pointing out all kinds of stuff about the songs that makes me sure there is no bullshitting. Or he's an amazing actor.

So Bassicaly this song is pretty awesome.
Kind of 😋😋

MISA just slappin' and poppin' through the entire song is epic.
Of all the great composers in history, only Kanami Tono can compose music that's under 5 mins long that stays with you forever :)
Every song feels like a journey.

The world of music has needed band maid for decades, now that they're here we almost don't know what to do, band maid the best band in the world!
You know what this is absolutely the best way to put it you are so right you couldn't be any more righter ( is that a word) literally decades ssoooo true thank you be well
The name MISA in Japanese means 'Beautiful Bloom, Help'. Kanami has written an album that allowed MISA to truly bloom in an explosion of sound and power.
This is definitely one of the best dirty and nasty intros I've ever heard. I have now listened to the whole album in order maybe 50 times, and these 15 seconds in the beginning of I Still Seek Revenge are so prominent every time.
I really think Kanami’s greatest strength is her lack of ego. She’s always writing songs in a way that lets all the members shine. She could easily write the songs to focus only on her. She clearly understands the power she has as the only song writer of the band and chooses to never hog the spotlight. She clearly loves riffs and soloing but restrains herself so it’s never the Kanami show all the time. She really is the perfect lead guitarist.
It always amazes me how open their choruses are, despite everyone playing they seem to leave this room which is so refreshing.
Best song of the (amazing) album.
This whole album is the MISA and Akane show. MISA is just ham all over the place and Akane used a belt fed M60 machine gun for her kick drum.
Su-Pah-Beh-Doh-Ra Taimu!
@@weilima9316 "What was that lame naming you put on it?"
MISA owns it with this heavy funk groove. Her bass lines remind me of some "Miyavi" stuff and from back in the day the "Infectious Grooves" ( especially, Punk It Up). Love it.
MISA MISA MISA!
She's really going crazy in this one and they put her all the way in the front which is just incredible. I don't know alot of other bands that will show off their bassist this much. But then, there's not alot of bands where the bassist does this kind of stuff. Or maybe I just couldn't hear it? :D
Misa's mighty creative bass work is being realized to be one of their great standout qualities. She has pushed her abilities and worked to integrate those skills into the songs as much as any of them, which is a high bar to clear. I don't know any other bassist offhand working it this well and this hard. And there are some great ones out there. When I try to think of bass players this creative and versatile, I think of maybe Jack Bruce of Cream, Chris Squire of Yes, Geddy Lee of Rush... Misa is right up there, standing tall on her own.
The tunes on this album are getting the respect they are for many reasons, but Misa's bass, her creativity, her tone, everything she's doing is a big part of these tunes working so well, and it was true wisdom to make her tracks prominent!
Wayyyy back... Genya Ravan was asked by Hilly Crystal to listen to the Dead Boys play live at CBGB's and consider producing a record for them. She went, she listened, she turned to Hilly and was like, A little rough, but they have talent. But we gotta have a bass player. Without bass there is no rock.
So I'm thinking the corollary is, bass is rock.
Primus? Les Claypool more or less made bass the lead in some highly memorable songs lol
@@jasongamer8649 Yeah his bass playing is god tier, and you could look at some others people have listed around here as well.

The struggle is real...taken individually, each member of Band-Maid more than exceeds expectations in technical proficiency, execution, verve, and class.
Taken together as a cohesive unit, they're a tactical nuke.
Is there such a thing as jazzcore music? I think BAND-MAID might have invented it.
I love this song.

Knew MISA would get you on this one! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂
When I heard Misa's bass tone the first time, I grabbed my bass and pedals and went for it. It is a great tone.

I just like the fact they are not scare to try new stuff. Just hear their full discography. Hell just hear Conqueror .... which I love
Perfect kick ass bass tone for a perfect kick ass musician!
Damn, Misa! You're talking dirty to me! This album is just perfection!
Definitely, MISA’s song! Love this tune!
Akane and MISA a Rythem Section Match made in Heaven.
"her bass tone is the perfect bass tone". -- i feel so validated; thank you tcom. that's been my impression especially when i heard 'play' live.

Make no mistake...Finding BAND MAID is never an accident.....Think of it as Divine Providence.
I Still Seek Revenge is really a nice title, mainly for a MISA song, as she was forgotten as a band member by the peple the produced the leaflet od the new album.
Funny that MISA posted on Twitter a photo of the new album and book that comes with the deluxe edition...and they left her off!! She wrote her name at the bottom of the list of band members. How anyone could forget her is beyond me!
I still thinking bout it.. hurmm.. poor the guy that made that mistake cuz he might be killed by the barefoot assassin 🤣
Misa heavy like i said misa once said while everyone else is tuning their equipment she says ive got five strings i dont need to tune
This song is MISA saying, "What if I took the pop-slappy bit from the live intro to 'Play' and turned it into an entire song? The rest of you could find something to do in the background, right?"

Holy Shit listen to Akane 5:00 to 5:07 i never heard her play like that before.
👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎You are awesome!!! And Band-Maid too, This album is EPIC in my opinion, the best will arrive with the next songs, believe me, H-G-H, Why Why Why, Chemical Reaction, Honkai, are pure arts in Rock like I have no listened to for decades, Black Hole is full of old psychedelic English taste, like Peter Hammill 70 songs, in Giovanni, there are some beautiful transitions and time changes and beautiful voices, in this album, Misa is completely out of the schemes she is crazy, the chorus in Black Hole is unique, this album is a must to have.
Sayonakidori is the only song a little too J pop-rock, but always band Maid made.
In a total of 12 songs 11 are awesome, no other band can do this.
More peeks at an important, transformational group known as Band-Maid - a band very few have even heard of. Why Why Why!
My God You can hear the Bass the whole Time that was not the case with previous Albums. And i only listen trough a PC Monitor
Misa hated her need of sleep, because it was interfering with her progress on the bass! I hope she can sleep soundly now, because this is perfection.
MISA!!! MISA!!!! MISA!!! 🥃🥃🥃her bass tone reminds me of Primus or Flea
This is just pure awesomeness!
When I think of bassist I think of MISA _Watch out Les Claypool there is a new Sheriff in town_ 😁
If you like the first five then the next six will blow your mind and the last track is going to floor you 👍
3:14 lol, love it
Yes, next level. But what does the next level mean for Band Maid?

And we all agreed. The best of the best although, second best isn't even on the horizon.
yay~！！
Misa has take over this place.
You should have saved that closing "all these songs are good" line until after Black Hole.
If Black Hole is a reflection of what's happening in Kanami's head, I am not sure how to feel about that...
I think a song about revenge is so misa.. so this being a misa song is just about right..
Not much to say... MISA, MISA, MISA!

I'm happy. Everything is very clear in the mix. Vocally both sound great.
A lot of people also mentioned that Miku really beefed up on "UW" - and, yes, she did - but she did also a great job vocally on "Conqueror" before too... It lacked in post-process :(
Last one Misa song is "unfair game" and this time is more best!
Is it just me who thinks the beginning of Kanami's solo sounds like the beginning of "Clang"? 5:07
Edit: i don't have a problem with that.
Me too Mr Rafael. The early note sound the same. And than, like always, she killing that guitar.. 🤣
Well, it starts with the same bending up D-flat note, coz the song has been wrote in the same scale I guess. Plus that signature Mincho's PRS tone. All these together reminds me a CLANG too. ^_^
P.S. Also the same tempo
It's seems to me they've transitioned from straight ahead rock and roll to prog rock. That's not a bad thing, they are constantly evolving. Just go back and listen to the early albums, it's remarkable. Maybe on the next album we'll see a double album with a 20 minute opus.
SWEET!
I gotta say, the album is actually very good. Originally my favorite album was BAND-MAIDs Just Bring It album. I starts off with: Dont You Tell ME, Puzzle, Moratorium, YOLO, Cross. The other great songs in there are Take me Higher!! So What?, you. (
I feel similarly, Just Bring It I put at number 1 after my first listen of Unseen World, but after a few more listens I'll need to revaluate Just Bring It. Chemical Reaction is honestly the only song that isn't good, but it's not like it's bad, it's more what it has to compete with across the album. I feel if Chemical Reaction was shorter and Black Hole was longer I would give it to Unseen World for number 1 and if it's that close I should probably just give it to Unseen World as I think musically so much more is going on in this album compared to Just Bring It, even though Just Bring It has some really great songs.
@@firefoyx I actually think Chemical Reaction has its own charm. It’s veeeeeeery simple and laid-back, at least by BM standards, and that’s very rare to hear from them. Also, I absolutely love the cowbell in that song
"Just Bring It" was also my favorite album before "Unseen World". I love "World Domination", but none of my favs are on it. "Conqueror" has higher highs than "WD", but also lower "lows". "Just Bring It" was the better album in my mind. With the release with "Unseen World" - I don't know. It might still be... or it might take the second place for me, time will tell
Not a big fan of "Take Me Higher" btw., besides the Kanami-MISA back-and-forth it doesn't do that much for me. Puzzle, Moratorium and Secret My Lips maybe the biggest three of JBI... But like you (johneg27) - I fuk'n adore "you."! It's not the fastest, hardest, ... song - but I absolutely LOVE it!
agree about "OOPARTS", up to this point they never performed this one live. I think it's the only one with that fate (well, "UW" songs will be performed in the near future)

It is almost impossible to recommend just one song, So here is a link to their YT playlist page th-cam.com/users/thewarningplaylists
Their albums XXI Century Blood (2017) & Queen of the Murder Scene (Rock Novel) (2018) are simply incredible considering the age they were when they wrote them.
They have their 3rd album being mixed now, set for release in Mid 2021
Here are some definite listens from their live Queen Of The Murder Scene concert

Also, they appreciate reactors spreading their music. TWA 🇦🇺
anybody else try to click the "green" heart on his Spotify page?
Wait till you listen to the last 3 songs)
There's literally not one bad song on this album. I do have my favourites, but absolutely none of them will get the "skip" treatment.
I am honestly curious on how he'll react to Giovanni and black hole. Madness followed by .. well.. black hole. Nothing can describe what black hole is.
So this is once again cool. So does this mean you have Without Holding Back but not Youth?
Hey Champ PLEASE do yourself a Favor and react to the official Videos for Band Maids Endless Story, Glory, Bubble, and Yolo.
And also VERY important Band Maiko s Gion Cho. I assure you it will blow you away in more then 1 aspect.
and even after over 45 Band Maid Songs Yolo is still my Favorite.
Oh you need to check out their BEST Power Ballad called Daydreaming. Its different then most other Band Maid Songs.
Didn't miku right at least a couple off the songs on this one. I have the album on apple musicand a few of the songs a accredited to her
On all the songs the lyrics are credited to Miku and the music & arrangement to Band-Maid
Yes (*σ>∀
I keep waiting for you to talk about the mix, which gets between me and the music. Compare with those nice clean live concert mixes where I can hear every detail of every instrument. Love the music, don't love the mix.
@samlepro3 You prefer it to the live concert mixes? Not sure what you mean by "best." You certainly must agree there's a lot of compression here.
Hey, HYNN is releasing a new single on January 21 called "With and without you", she's an amazing solo singer, if you have time to check it out :)
