Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Babymetal venture into "The Metalverse" on their fourth long-player, a self-styled "restoration project" that aims to reveal multiple iterations of the band within parallel worlds. Outside of an aesthetic that hews closer to the darker end of the J-pop metal spectrum, Other One seems to have been crafted in a world very much like our own. At its core, it's a beefy, slick, ornate, and occasionally crushingly dark set of songs that pair the high-drama goth rock of Within Temptation with the winking, finger-heart death metal of Aggretsuko. "Metal Kingdom" leans hard into the former persuasion, administering operatic levels of symphonic pageantry over Su-Metal and Moametal's anthemic declarations of unity. "Divine Attack" follows a similar trajectory, delivering crushing djent-styled breakdowns and soaring melodies amidst a vast minor-key skyline. Apart from the syrupy delights of "Believing" and "METALIZAM" (the latter wouldn't have sounded out of place on Rosalía's Motomami), Other One mostly steers clear of the bracing, confectionary kawaii pop of its predecessors. Instead, Babymetal mastermind Kobametal has constructed a sonic foundation built on pained alt-metal and Poppy-esque nu-metal tropes that disinterestedly flirts with the group's more recalcitrant past. Other One feels like it was pulled through a wormhole from a universe where a committee writes Babymetal's metallic pop emissions, intent on flowing with the current instead of against it. ~ James Christopher Monger
