I never thought I'd see the day metal fans would complain something is too cheesy.

Take all the cookie monster vocals, gore lyrics, power metal lyrics, mash it all together, and still it doesn't touch this abomination. Believe me, I can tolerate a lot of cheesy music, but this is probably the saddest thing I've ever listened to that was trying to take itself seriously. It's like listening to Kidz Bop, but with talented heavy metal musicians.

Maximum the hormone sounds pretty cheesy too, they have the silliest vocals I've ever heard, yet I'm enjoying it at the moment xD. But yeah, I don't get this stuff either, I guess it's where I draw the line?

What about this music would give you the impression that it was taking itself seriously?

The fact that they're trying to sell their sound commercially, I can't really think of anything that says "we take ourselves seriously" than that, because it literally means that you think that your music is good enough to sell records. If they were marketed as a gimmick, like Kidz Bop, or Weird Al, it would be a different story.

Do you take them seriously?

Yeah, just like I'm sure Bret Michaels took himself seriously as he was dressing up like a woman, and that Kiss took themselves seriously when they were putting facepaint and lipstick on. It's to sell records, it's a marketing technique. It's still intended to become popular and sell mass amounts of albums, though, and that's the whole point.

I could never get inside the minds of the members of these bands to find out if they actually took themselves seriously, but I think it's easy to make the argument that they intend for others to take them seriously.

It looks like they are marketed as a gimmick to me. They're not even their own band, but an offshoot of some revolving door girl group.

It's a combination of J-pop and metal, I don't even know what I could possibly take seriously about that. I like the music I've heard though. It's fun and goofy and its own unique animal. I tend to like things like that.

That gimme chocolate song is cute and the band can play. At least they aren't singing about gang banging and chocolate sales in JP should go up LOL. Perhaps this will serve as a stepping stone for those young people to more serious forms of metal once they grow up. I refuse to condemn it just because it is different and wouldn't listen to it.

The two songs in the OP are pretty great! I'll definitely be checking out the album.
