What do you think of all her albums?
I decided to start this thread because I'm REALLY curious as to what people think of all Namie's albums because recently I've just gotten to completely love all of them. I especially wanted to know what people think about her older albums, because I love them to death and I've heard that most people don't like her albums like GENIUS 2000, break the rules, Concentration 20 and SWEET 19 BLUES. Or am I completely wrong?
Anyway, I'm sorry if similar threads exist, it's just that search doesn't work at all and I can't find what people think of Namie's albums on AHS at all :/ So, do you like her older albums or not? Which is your favorite? Least favorite? Any kind of comment on any of her albums is welcome! I'll start. Spoiler:

As for Namie albums, I always only like a few songs from each album.. but I will try my best ^^

LOVE Namie.

for me this is simple.
I have tried to like her albums but the only one I can love is PLAY I think is because this one has less ballads than all her others. |
i absolutely love Concentration 20! that's my favorite album of hers.
SWEET 19 BLUES is another favorite. GENIUS 2000 and break the rules are great but i think their her weakest. i really like PLAY but i think Queen of Hip-Pop blows it out of the water. STYLE is awesome too. PAST< FUTURE was an amazing comeback. another one of my favorites from her. |
I like Style, Queen of Hip pop, and PLAY. All of her others are huge misses for me.

Big post..

I'm not a diehard fan of Namie . I frankly only have heard PLAY & PAST < FUTURE & both are really good albums in my opinion
PLAY was 1 of the 1st few jpop albums I heard when I began listening to Japanese music 4 years ago & I still really like it til now |
Yaaaaaay for Namie
|
basically, the only album i don't like is "past < future"
it's hugely overrated, if you ask me. but hey, we all have our opinions, haha. everything up until that album is great. though, concentration 20, sweet 19 blues and style are probably my favorite albums. however, YOU ARE THE ONE, on GENIUS 2000, is in my top favorite Amuro songs ;) much better than the original version :P |
This is simple I really like all the albums before LOVE ENHANCED and Past<Future because they have some good lyrics. Then with Style-Play I usually only listen to them when I want something upbeat/dancy to listen to since that's mainly what they are.

Namie has had top quality material since her debut until now. I feel like all of her albums deliver something unique. There's variety yet a certain message given with each album and it's always kept me interested.
I like all of her older, pre-STYLE albums but my favourite of the bunch would have to be GENIUS 2000 mostly because of "SOMETHING 'BOUT THE KISS", "KISS-AND-RIDE" and "THINGS I COLLECTED". But I find Concentration 20 album such a solid album from beginning to end that it would have to be among my most favourited. But my all-time favourite and most played album is Queen of Hip-Pop, which I bought in 2005 and still listen to this day. I find her approach to western R&B and pop music so refreshing that she's all I could ever want in a pop artist and more. |
My fave Namie albums are PLAY, Queen of Hip-Pop and, PAST < FUTURE.
Namie always brings something new to the table and it's always good. My overall fave is probably PAST < FUTURE because the first Namie song I lisnted to came from the album but BEST FICTION is what converted me to a Namie fan. |
I think most of her albums are great. The only one that I think was overrated at the time was Sweet 19 Blues - had the singles not been messed with on that album though, that one would be great too. My favorite old Namie album is Concentration 20 and that is still one of my overall favorite albums from any artist.

GENIUS 2000 is her worst album by far. Yet somehow, it has some of her best songs. a VERY polarizing album.
However, all of her albums are much more cohesive than this one. Each song is better on average |
^i completely agree. :yes
|
i've only begun from STYLE, so i can't tell about before
my favorite album is PLAY, because i love this fresh sound so much, just like Pink Key. instant summertime ^^ the one i like less is Queen Of Hip-Pop... i like WoWa, Alarm an Free but the rest is not my thing STYLE & PAST < FUTURE are cool as well... STYLE is entirely great, killers after killers, it sounds like a best-of album. and PAST < FUTURE has very cool ones like WILD |
The only Namie album I don't like is Concentration 20, it's weak
|
y'know, i consider myself to be a very big Tetsuya Komuro fan (i'm such a globe stan), but i haven't heard much of Amuro's "TK era"...other than the obvious CAN YOU CELEBRATE?, Body Feels EXIT, etc. :laugh i probably should explore that era when i get the time. :P
but anyway, i started off with "STYLE" & onwards. i think my favorites are "PLAY" and "STYLE". but otherwise, i like them all (that i've listened to). i kinda wish i gotten into her earlier. i think she's one of the most solid and consistent artists out there. and she's been in this industry a looooong time! |
OMG, how can you dislike Come!? I was waiting for you to praise it and then I read you do not like it! Lol. I absolutely love it. It's just soooooooo perfect! My favorite song by her. Ever.
