GUILTY

I know it's old and maybe kinda irrelevant today, but still interesting to read.

I also found this:

These reviews are kinda spot on, especially this bit...

Quote:

This is Hamasaki's eleventh album, and so songwriting routine is to be expected, to a degree, but she would have been better off going all the way with the alt-rock gimmick instead of meekly complying with the already trite conventions of J-pop, even if she had created those herself.

I believe those reviews (ando everything on AllMusic) are way too focused on the western music aesthetic...

(giving Hilary Duff a 4 stars also didn't really make me see the site on a better light :P)

Sorry baby, not great enough to get an almost perfect score from a music critic :P
