So, Babymetal isn’t immature fun anymore. With the members and longtime fans ten years older than when Babymetal first hit the scene, an obvious decision to mature the music, lyrics, and image was made. The end result is The Other One, and it may shock those that stayed away from the pre-release songs. Gone are most the Babymetal staples; the call-and-response, the slick J-Pop melodies and choruses, the crazy metal/pop juxtaposition, the chaotic energy… you get the point. Instead, The Other One takes its metal/pop influences and fuses them into a seamless sound that trades Kawaii for seriousness and atmosphere. While it might be initially disappointing to lose a decade of Babymetal influences, it was probably time and the more mature and serious Babymetal sound is still as captivating as always.

This goes freaking hard. They upped the industrial/electronic elements and went for an overall more "serious" sound, and it really pays off. Don't get me wrong, I loved their first two albums but Metal Galaxy proved that it was time to move on from that style, at least to an extent.

Pretty dull compared to their previous material honestly.

It feels like they thought they could make a more minimal record and pass it off as being more mature, but for the most part this is just really boring. Love the choreography and they have some banging tracks in their discography but yea. There are 4 decent/solid songs on here at most.
