Band-Maid │ 'HATE'│ "Killer Drums!" Reaction

[@cnordegren]

This LP is the source of my sleep deprivation. I am losing 2 or 3 hours of sleep every night listening to this.

🤣🤣🤣

[@UltimateRubberFool]

This song is FIRE!

[@espereactions2]

Facts!

[@Aaronacer]

Happy 31st Kanami! We love you for all you do for your fans and those who will discover you soon!

Sai-chan said "Mincho was sending me data every time she composed new songs, but when I listened to this song for the first time, I worried that Mincho might be stressed out very bad"😟 Now, this EP is out, hope Mincho feels OK now. I'm sure all Maids will cheer her up by throwing a nice birthday party tonight🎉🎈💐🎂☕🥳

[@russellpotter7294]

Out of the newer songs on the EP there are three outstanding stand outs that I just keep replaying. HATE? is one of those and is just a wonderful Rock Song.

Fave pic of the slideshow is MISA fondly holding a bottle of Glenfarclas 12 year old - two of my favorite things!

[@ericpoirier2807]

One of my favorite Bands

[@espereactions2]

Love them!

[@geoffb5]

My first thought on seeing the cover was "Space Battleship Band-Maid" arises.

[@seizetheday5008]

Congratulations on this day, the anniversary of your birth along with many blessings, wishes, and smiles for you and yours KANAMI. I would like to thank you, thank you very much for being you. You are a awesome human being and keep rockin'. 🤘 Oh, before I forget, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

It's their Band Maid Logo submissed in an ocean of water is what I see

[@brunobryant4846]

Jesus last time I heard a bone shaking bottom end like that was when I worked near the monster ore carrying trains that would fly past and almost dislocated your joints - woo hoo 👍 What a band, what a sisterhood and what a lucky bunch of punters we are because the Maids are in our ears and hearts - okay that's enough gush from me, thanks and now time for a beer to celebrate Kanami's birthday, viva the Maids peace and love Po 👍🎼🥁🎸🎤🍻

Happy 31st B'Day, Kanami Tono.

[@peterz4427]

Yes, she does say "I don't give a shit anymore!" This is my favorite off the new EP.

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

MISA MISA MISA!!!!! Happy Birthday Mincho!!!!!

[@me262a1]

I totally missed those lyrics. Nice catch. Nice slideshow too!

[@espereactions2]

Right on. Thanks!

[@GaryHolloway-810]

Ooh Sai-chan must really HATE someone to swear in a song. All lyrics are subjective so i'm hoping it's directed as a collective to those who continually shit on BAND-MAID. If that's the case then i would've added a line to the song that said "Jealousy breeds contempt" :)

[@markhayes9004]

Hey Gary! Did Saiki write the lyrics for "Hate?" or did Miku? I haven't gotten my physical copy of the EP yet, just the digital one. I hope you are having a great day.

[@brunobryant4846]

👍👍🍻🍻

[@GaryHolloway-810]

@@markhayes9004 Yep they're all Saiki's work. She said she's wanted to express those lyrics in a song for a long time. Yeah i'm still waiting for my EP from CD Japan.😔 Other than that i'm good, i hope you are too.😁

[@MaartenT]

@@markhayes9004 Saiki has "words" credits for Corallium and Hate? and shared credits with Miku for Unleash!!!!!. Miku is credited for the "words" of all the other tracks. While it does sound like this is hate for some asshole person (that's the most logical explanation), I do still think that it might be targeted at a personified COVID instead.

[@sewthuis9659]

stylish headphones dude

[@jcamano]

Japanese “HATE ?” means “What?”

[@Danacus]

My interpretation of the album cover is that someone saw the quarry where they recorded influencer and thought it looked like a city in a post-apocalyptic world. The album cover might represent that. Not sure how it relates to the EP though, besides the influencer MV.

[@kyles5513]

This song and Collarium are bangers. And I also think the ep album cover is bland, but the lp covers are actually pretty cool.

[@TlanImass]

Oh, I'm not sure about an album (LP) with 8 songs. As far as I can remember, 9 or more is an album and below 9 but more than 4 is an EP. I think 4 of Band-Maid's albums are all EPs but their previous record labels called them mini-albums. Good reaction!

[@espereactions2]

Maybe, However, almost every Black Sabbath album made have just 8 songs.

[@espereactions2]

Let's not forget. Master of Puppets. 8 songs. Greatest Metal Album of all time.

[@TlanImass]

@@espereactions2 oh, true.

[@_DriveTime]

Rush Hemispheres is 4.

[@Kevin6059]

I think more in terms of total minutes rather than number of songs. This is an EP, and I've seen a lot shorter EP's - anyway, it kicks serious ass!

[@ChrisPage68]

I'm in danger of liking them again. Definite improvement. 👍
