Yeah pretty much.

It's an ok review. Not as great as ones I read before. It's not time for this discussion, but Secret is too much better to me :P

well i actually dont know where else to post it. just wanna share it with people here. mods can move it if its not rite. besides, bloggers nowadays are pretty much as influential as the newspapers/tv ;P

It's a pretty good review, it looked kind of professional as well.

Dang! That's a very interesting review and very well written... I wrote a review on GUILTY at http://www.geocities.com/letthemeatcakeonline, but...it's not very good... This one sounds very professional!

nice review, GUILTY has satisfied many Jpop fans out there.. :)

Yeah, reviews =/= news. Just because some newspaper crap review was here doesn't mean that blog ones belong here. :|

Sorry to be a party pooper, but I really do not think this fits in "NEWS", which is more appropriate for more official, professional things. If we made a new thread every time a fan decided to review an Ayu album, we would probably witness an AHS slowdown again like a few months ago. You could have posted it in the "Chat" section if you really wanted to.

This review is decent. Though I myself like GUILTY very much so, I oftentimes do not agree with what this Beyond the Sea guy says. I mean, he gave "Destiny Line" (Leah Dizon) an astonishingly high grade of A-. That throws his credibility out the window :laugh

I agree with the part about 'Secret'. The album was sort of poorly constructed IMO. Plus, I wasn't that impressed with the songs :(...There wasn't that much of a flow in between the songs while GUILTY's songs seemed to really be welded into each other.
But anyways, nice review.

read this guy. its a good unbiased review. although not from any professionals out there.

synopsis:
GUILTY has gotten a lot of criticism by people who think it sounds like everything else Ayumi Hamasaki has done, and they are sort of right. She might be up to her old tricks again, but it’s never sounded so damn good. The album contains her most emotional and serious material to date; each track containing excellent lyrics and so on. Unlike her previous album Secret (which was poor in the construction department), the transitions are smoother and the interludes are better as well. The songs of GUILTY feel more put together and you could tell that Hamasaki put a lot of thought and work into this album because the overall production value is excellent. I guess you could say I’m guilty for enjoying this album...

That's a really nice review!

I agree with this person though. I think GUILTY is alright. IMO though, it sounds like a sequel to Secret..but worse. IMHO, Secret was constructed really well and better than GUILTY. I think GUILTY didn't have that certain speciality about it as Secret did. Nevertheless, I'm glad that put together a nice album like GUILTY.

I've read this review for GUILTY and I like it. GUILTY is one of my fav Ayu albums and it is easy to listen to all the way through (well except fated but it's growing on me again). I've also written a review of the album on my blog. It's pretty long and I'm not trying to get off subject...

^:roflmao

I'll read it later Amai! Matter of fact, I'll add it to my faves...so that I won't lose it. lol

I just wanna know why Secret was poorly recieved than Guilty was though? I mean, like I said earlier, GUILTY sounds like a sequel to Secret. Ugh! No luv for Secret! :weep

^ I'll read it later as well Amai Yume

WOOT!! So many GUILTY reviews XDD!!

WOW good review....long though......

haha, I've always liked em long as long as they have something to say. So I tried saying what I could about GUILTY and since I enjoyed the album so much, I had a lot to say. This album impressed me a lot :)

I love reading reviews, especially positive ones ehehe..

its a nice review and his grade is right on the spot. an A sounds like what i would give GUILTY also
