This Is The One Customer Reviews

If you were dissipointed by Exodus don't hesitate to pick this album up. It's 100% better. First off, the Japanese version( advertised here) is slightly different than the American overseas version. Instead of the Simple And Clean, Passion( Opening&Ending) songs you get remixes for Come Back to Me which are pretty cool. Also the other tracks come in slightly different order on the American version. I'd say this is the better buy, although it's more expensive. You get the small bonus lyrics booklet with this and I don't much care for the Kingdome Hearts songs sung in english anyways since their Japanese versions are so much better. A few things about this album: First off don't expect to hear the usuall stuff Utada sings. The lyrics are a little bolder and show off a different side of her. The music plays it a little on the safe side too. No creative synth pop here. However it's still a good album worth the wait and fun to listen to. It's for long term Utada fans I think.

The beats are not really as usual, and the lyrics are american-ish, yeah but that is juste another side of Utada, don't miss this one just because the style is different! be open minded and you will like it ^^

Love utada, waited an age for a full english written album and umm meh? while I really like the album, it failed to follow previous album traits and well meh, poppin' is absolutely awful. Then again this was produced by LA reid, says it all I suppose.

Utada never ceases to amaze me with her talent. Many people say that this album is not good, that the songs are not original... I can't help but disagree. Her style is different when she sings in English, and it's great because it proves that she is good with every genre she tries. Different genres are good too! I like all the songs on this album. The lyrics are amazing and the beats catchy. My favorite tracks are Apple & Cinnamon, This One (Crying Like A Child), and Poppin'. As a whole, I think this album is better than Exodus, even if it is very good, too. Utada has very good reasons to be proud of this album.

When i first heard this album online i thought this album was not that good. but i was like maybe i should just wait for my copy to come in and then i could judge, and you know what...... it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be.This album is actually pretty good and i think the American audience will like it. some old school fans may not. there is some parts i don't like [like some dirty lyrics] but this album is actually really good. the only track i will not like is Poppin' the rest is pretty much grand =]

Well, english cd no.3 and Hikaru still has what it takes to prove she's a talent regardless of the language. My fav track is no.3, it feels real. and track 9, but in the end... it is turning into american RnB, which sort of sucks a little. So over all, its very good, but I prefer Exodus (no.2). Cheers.
