Album:

Clearly a case of milking a band while they're hot, We Are continues the uncorked outpouring of Aldious songs, this time in a fairly long EP format. And I'll be damned, judging by the quality of this release, Aldious don't appear to be running out of ideas. Since their Radiant A album, they've found a slick, clear production that works for them, and know better than to fuck with it. Just listen to that shimmering power gracing the propulsive title track! Fueled by one hell of a memorable and vibrant speed metal riff, this motherfucker ranks as one of their best songs and even Re:NO's smooth purr doesn't quench the searing flames. But like every other Aldious offering, expect a fair amount of genre twists and turns, and yep, there's a few doozies in the "what's going on here?" department, but even some of those work wonders, elevating this release.As much as the title track is the immediate center of attention grabber for all of the right reasons, what I really want to focus in on here is a song called "愛しい男", also known as Track 7 and somewhat translating regrettably as "A Dear Man". This is the kind of number that distinguishes Aldious from their peers, as it utilizes Re:NO's vocals in such a way that renders the song a nightmare to categorize. Musically it's generally mid-paced to uptempo, an atmospheric blend of heavy metal and a bit of indie-rock with distant keys and clear chord strums weaving a gorgeous atmosphere during key moments. What's atypical is that the vocals are sung in a very low mezzo soprano fashion. A smooth, sensuous delivery, this has to be one of the sexiest, seductive metal songs I’ve heard that never slithers close to ballad territory. It's like heavy metal for a fur-carpet ride by the fireplace. Guitarist Toki truly conjured up some interesting shit with this cut, being simultaneously breezy and aggressive, striking like Viagra up the nostril. It's creative and unique without any pretensions, and it's sleek. We have a winner!As for the rest of the album, it's an interesting smorgasbord with no real buzz-killers concerning the actual songs, although the Jpop-influenced "Never Give Up" is a bit of a weak link with those familiar magic anime-girl melodies. The lone ballad, "Happy Birthday", is cute. A folk number with only a lone acoustic guitar with flair for accompaniment, there's worse things in life than a smoldering accented voice wishing you a happy birthday in this fucked up day and age. The climactic track, "Travelers", offers a totally new dimension in their oeuvre, that being an epic, bombastic rock piece that has more in common with songs like U2's "Bad” or Peter Gabriel's "Biko" (without the socially aware lyrics) than triumphant power metal. It's pretty cool though, and doesn't reach overblown levels like Oasis' "All Around the World". An unexpected and unusual but surprisingly effective and fitting closer to this little album, and proves that Aldious have plenty of tricks up their sleeve despite their hectic release schedule.Outside of a stupid, unnecessary intro, We Are continues the run since Radiant A of razor sharp power metal that keeps any keyboard additives at a minimum, relying often on twin guitar licks over the tight riffing to add that burst of melody. Although they don't possess a significant member as the virtuoso to focus on (although Marina's drumwork can be attention-grabbing), Aldious' strength lies in each member working together solidly in commitment to the songs. Re:No will always be the polarizing one, and it took me a couple of years to warm up to her, but the songwriting accommodates her in many ways, and I can't picture anyone else singing some of their newer songs at this point. They are what they are, and amazingly enough I'm still along for the ride.
