I like Band-Maid's newer stuff and older stuff better, plus all of the stuff in-between.

[@hookstrpd]

Conqueror has some great songs -- Blooming, Rinne (Reincarnation), Wonderland -- and the recent Unleash EP is great -- From Now On, Corallium, Influencer, Hate? But Unseen World is unsurpassed as an album. Warning!, Sayonakidori, Why Why Why, Giovanni, I Still Seek Revenge, Manners, Black Hole, No God, Without Holding Back. It's one of those very special albums where the creative genius of the band cannot be contained.

[@SolitudeSorrowMusic]

Well it seems like we shall be revisiting this album in the near future then 👀 This is my favorite thing about doing these reactions is finding new music that may not have come up otherwise.

[@AntonioMellor]

When "unseen world" was released, I listened to it at least once a day (many times two or three listens per day) for over a year. I still listen to it about twice a week. I have been listening to rock music since the late '70s, and "unseen world" is my favorite album of all time.

[@sugaanessena3143]

I did get the instrumental album of Unseen World a few weeks ago and it is sick. Almost a completely different album.

[@hookstrpd]

I want that! The instrumental No God video is spellbinding.

They are beasts live, you have a lot of incredible live shows to catch up on which they have either released as Blu -Rays or live streamed. One other piece of information which is worth knowing is that Saiki's voice was going from all the intense work and she suffered for 2 years before eventually getting vocal chord surgery to remove polyps in 2017. She has got better and better every year since.

[@SolitudeSorrowMusic]

Love to hear of the greater comebacks after a large setback like that! From what I've heard i can tell she's got a fantastic voice, looking forward to hearing more! Is there any particular live song i should checkout first?

[@madsstavang]

I discovered Band-Maid right before Unseen World (where this song is on) was released in 2021. I was already sold on the band before, but this album cemented B-M as my favorite band. That album is pure intensity. It is actually fatiguing listening to it, but it is just so good. I love a good wall of sound and UW brings it from beginning until the end. The album closer, Black Hole, is their fastest yet. 220 BPM, and Akane the drummer absolutely punishes her drumset the entire song.

[@SolitudeSorrowMusic]

Based on the comments, it seems that the general consensus is that this is everyone's favorite album, or at least the majorities favorite. Looking forward to checking more of it out, and Black Hole well, seems like that'll be a new reaction video in the near future 👀

[@BillHallisey]

Roger does it again!!!!! Roger, you're the man! Guys, "Warning" is an absolute banger. There are a lot of great bands in Japan and Band-Maid is one of the best. They are so high energy that you have to catch your breath after many of their songs and then after 2 1/2 hours of their concerts. You must see the live to see what I mean. We Maidiacs can keep making suggestions for more of their songs if you want us to.

[@RA57727]

Band-Maid first albums had songs written by other persons, than by the band members. With the song Alone Band-Maid management allowed them to perform, and write, their own music. And the Maids have been soaring ever since. What a group. If you like fast and hard rock check out Manners (more traditional rock) and Black Hole (bordering on the chaotic but tight). Thanks for the reaction to Band-Maid.

[@jeffersoncosgrove1910]

This is from their SEVENTH album of eight. Lots to catch up on. To me, the two most recent albums (new record label) show signs of greater artist independence. Their walk on music was always heavier than anything on their setlist until this album, which indicates to me that this is where they always intended to go, minus record company posturing.

[@SolitudeSorrowMusic]

Can agree that there's been lots of great music to release from bands after becoming independent or leaving certain labels. I'm really interested in hearing more from this album as well as the newer stuff from the latest album. Also i believe i said this was from their 6th album, so close haha.

[@etoineschrdlu9382]

Older or newer? Yes to both. Band-Maid has the amazing ability to make the last song you heard from them be "Your Favorite". Their albums are consistently good. I have a CD of 'Just Bring It in one car and their "10th anniversary best" in another. I think of all their albums as 'developmental' since they grow creatively with each release. Whenever I play one of their CDs I find that I never skip songs, something I often will do with any other artist's CD; all their songs a worthy of a close listen. This is the only band whose output I will preorder the moment they announce it.

[@daaaaaave]

@@SolitudeSorrowMusic It's a meme, but it holds true a lot of the time. Their music is very dense with interesting writing decisions, and cool little touches, so the more you listen to each song, the more details you pick up on. So the more you listen, the more you appreciate each song, which is going to shift your rankings around. Personally, my favorite stuff is their newer stuff, but it's a trade off. I think as they get better, their inclination is to pack more into each song, and it makes it rewarding to listen to many times, but it makes it less approachable on the first listen. It can feel like too much. If you like Warning, it's the opening track to Unseen World, and if you like this one, chances are you'll enjoy the whole album.

[@philcalvino884]

Cool that you're back for more Band-Maid. Their evolution has been pretty mind-blowing. Basically, because they got full creative control with Just Bring It and never looked back. Which isn't to say I don't like the first three, not at all, but I LOVE the next four (plus the Unleash EP after that).

[@dazedandconfused318]

From Just Bring It (2017) - album 4 - they effectively took over the composing and writing the lyrics into their own hands rather than have writers from their management providing them with songs as it was for their first 3 EP's ( mini albums). Their own work is more complex, more varied and has rockier and heavier songs and with a few exceptions all far superior. Album number 6, Conqueror is my favourite by a hairs breadth but everything from Just Bring It is superb. You've probably not heard Band Maiko ( their alter ego) or their acoustic stuff either which are also A1 and they've got a new (superior) band logo.

[@SolitudeSorrowMusic]

Yeah when it comes to these gals, i haven't really seen or heard much of them until maybe last month or March, so anything they're doing on the side, ive got no idea of but im excited to check that out at some point, more music for the long haul!

They have come a million miles since the first 3 albums as you can see/hear. The Unseen World album 2021, is a masterpiece of rock/hard rock/metal as you can hear from this, but there is also some crazy genius stuff to be found on it too. Generally older albums- are pop/punk-ish/rock. Later albums are more rock/hard rock/metal. But they often throw in the odd ball just to keep you on your toes. Try Manners/Black Hole Official Live Video, both from the album but so different.

"Best" is such a loaded term. It is my favorite song from them and has been since it was released. I'm learning it on bass right now and SON OF A B.... it's a challenge. I can play fast, and I can play busy but busy AND fast is crazy and this is what Warning! is.

[@SolitudeSorrowMusic]

I'm kinda using that term in this case because it's my favorite song thus far (also gets the people talkin haha). Also yeah, hearing the song it feels a lot more note heavy then what ive heard before, and i dig it. Keep practicing though, you'll get it! Also i know this is a little forward but, we need a bassist at Solitude & Sorrow. idk if you're already in a band or are even interested in joining one but, just putting it out there! 👀

[@Greg-om2hb]

WARNING is the opening track on UNSEEN WORLD, and serves to warn us that you’re no longer listening to your Dad’s BAND-MAID. I love all their music, but with UNSEEN WORLD and UNLEASH they take their songwriting to new levels and deliver a new sound that no longer draws so heavily from familiar genres but instead is uniquely BAND-MAID. Try the live double header of MANNERS, BLACK HOLE. The songs AFTER LIFE, SENSE, UNLEASH, and INFLUENCER all have great MVs, and FROM NOW ON is an amazing instrumental, while the single SHAMBLES is not to be missed. In all of these you’ll hear that the production of AKANE’s drums goes to a brutal new level. Oh, and their collaboration with Mike Einziger produced BESTIE, which brings yet another brand-new sound, along with a refreshing new look.

Glad you're grooving with 'Band Maid' and that you liked their song! 'Warning') In regards to their music, you have plenty to choose from. Right now you might like their newest stuff better; but I'll put money on the idea that after a while you'll go back and relisten to some of their earlier music and hear things you didn't hear before 💢 For me, it's ALL good); I can't put earlier up against newer..

[@evilducks3710]

Any other song from this album? All of them? :P This whole album rips, and the one after… and ones before. I think their first 3 are their weakest honestly. Check out more when you get a chance. Especially this one. To expand on why I think the first 3 are their weakest, it’s because all but 1 song from that group weren’t written by them. They have had control of their music since then and they’re just much better writers than the people the studio used initially. The fan base is pretty universal in this opinion. Where you will get disagreement is are albums 4&5 better than 6,7,8?

[@SolitudeSorrowMusic]

I actually said it in this video but didnt want to potentially upset anyone so i chopped the bit out, but i felt like the first 3 albums just all sounded like the same thing. like keeping a consistent sound isnt bad but it has to be evolved upon to, otherwise it just sounds you're listening to the same thing on repeat. the songs were good but it just sounded a lot like a rinse and repeat. there was one song that stood out to me quite a bit though, the opener on Album 3 felt generally heavier then everything else and i vibed with that a lot. that said though, im really excited to checkout everything else that i haven't heard because this song bangs!

[@etoineschrdlu9382]

Their newer albums are better. Their first three albums are good, I like them, but I consider the first three albums as their developmental era. *Maid in Japan, New Beginning,* and *Brand New Maid* were the albums where their management cautiously controlled what they allowed Band-Maid to record. It wasn't until *Brand New Maid* that they let them record anything that they wrote by themselves, with "Alone" being the first song that was 100% written by Band-Maid and with a pair of songs to which Saiki and Miku provided lyrics. "Forward", "Real Existence", and "Thrill" are among the songs that Band-Maid still includes on their set lists from their first two albums. They also still perform "Freedom", "The Non Fiction Days, "Before Yesterday", and (of course!) "Alone" from *Brand New Maid* in the shows. But with *Just Bring It* Band-Maid had an album on which they wrote the majority of the songs, of which many are considered among their best. Then they produced *World Domination,* again doing the vast majority of writing, followed up by *Band-Maiko,* their brilliant April Fools' Day prank and *Conqueror,* released just as the lockdowns started. They stayed busy during the lockdown, producing *Unseen World* and *Unleash* which both contain some outstanding music like "Without Holding Back", "Manners", "No God", "Giovanni", "From Now On", etc. The members of Band-Maid just become more creative every year. And don't overlook their singles: they hide some incredible music on the B-sides.
