HEART STATION. I think hikki did a great job in her album this yr.

GULITY is not bad. but it wld not be my fav Ayu album out of all Ayu's. =D

I heard a few songs in Kingdom. I think so far I onli prefer her song 'Under' where she dances.

HEART STATION was boring, but Kingdom was absolutely DULL. The only song worthwhile was BUT.

Basically it goes like:
1. GUILTY
2. HEART STATION
3. Kingdom.

Guilty is amazing~

Concerning the results: Bias much.
But I chose Heart Station in the end. Utada's music out weighs Ayu's in guilty for me. I found that most of Ayu's songs are enjoyable but with hikki's i can listen to them over and over without getting bored or frustrated at little things.

>Concerning the results: Bias much.

This is kind of a silly thing to say, considering it's an Ayumi Hamasaki forum and you'd be foolish to expect anything but a bunch of her fans converging on the site.`

Yeah it's an ayu forum so most people here like GUILTY (it's not always like that for everything though). So it's not really a biased thing, just more crowd that like something, because this is their place =P There are also some kumi fans that voted for GUILTY.
Of course there are some fans of ayu here that don't like GUILTY so they voted for another album unless if they didn't like the all three.
and even if it would be biased that's people's opinions like everyone else have their biased-ness, favorites, preferences etc.

I've only ever seen a handful of polls where Ayumi lost to someone here. But I guess that's to be expected.

Is it really wrong though? :shrug
If it's expected that she will get most votes so why adding her to the poll? =P

I think I already voted... but here's my list:

1. HEART STATION
2. GUILTY
3. Kingdom

HEART STATION may be a little more old-school Hikki, but it's certainly a fresh offering as its music and message is different from ULTRA BLUE. It's simple but heartwarming.

GUILTY is a good album because she refined her rock style and it showed with songs like decision. The seriousness and darkness is something we haven't seen from Ayu in a while, and I welcome it; however, after a while all the songs sound the same as her previous works.

Kingdom... It's certainly eclectic in that it has a lot of different genres; however, a lot of the songs are forgettable... all the singles except for BUT sucked compared to Black Cherry's singles. The album may have fancy bonuses and incentives, but the music fails to match with its allure.

:laugh That's what I don't understand.

Well you made this thread triple D XDD
Even though (getting GUILTY out) HEART STATION wins Kingdom and it wins Kingdom for me as well :yes

What I can't understand is why THE FACE isn't on the poll too. That album was absolutely wonderful in my opinion. It deserves more luv than what AHSians are giving it. :grumpy

LOL DID I SERIOUSLY MAKE THIS THREAD? :tipsy OOPS!!!

I know! Someone needs to punch the thread maker in the face!

^Yeppers! :tipsy

Why didn't u add THE FACE tho?! :grumpy

:laugh Jeeze! Sorry, I wanted to include only the albums that would sell 500k+.

Isn't much of a surprise that GUILTY is winning, but I chose HEART STATION. I songs on this album are just so well-crafted, and I enjoyed every track on it as well. :)

No u didn't just go there! Just da hell u didn't go there! That's cold bro, very cold! I would get on Ami, but I know how much u luvs her! I'mma let it slide this time. :mischief

LOL I didn't mean nothin by it! I just wanted to keep it to the 500k+ club, maybe not even Namie, if she had released an album.

I'm sad Guilty is winning T^T IMO HEART STATION > Guilty by far.

HEART STATION was a really good album ~ that I stilll have to buy.. LOL /swt

LOL @ the biased-ment comment.

Actually it's really funny to see how my likings for the three albums go..

I liked GUILTY kind of "meh" at first. Then after 2 days or so OMG BEST ALBUM. And now it's really MEH. I only still like a few songs.

Kingdom is still the same as first. The album tracks are horrible, pretty much (except Black Cherry, and maybe 1-2 other songs I'm not really sure which ones are singles). But I still love the singles. This album keeps going steady.

HEART STATION I like more and more. *___* The only songs I dont like are the rainbow bus and the bear. Well, I like them but not to listen to them a lot.

ATM it would be:
1 HEART STATION
2 GUILTY
3 Kingdom

Maybe in a while:
1 HEART STATION
2 Kingdom
3 GUILTY

Who knows! Looking at the recent posts I think I'm not the only one who likes GUILTY less and HEART STATION more now. :yes

But as an artist and person, Ayu still takes the cake. Then Koda and then Hikki. Hikki comes off as kind of fake-ish in interviews, IMO. With her whole "I wanna improve the world with my music, SO BUY MY NEW SINGLE!!"-thing. XDD
