i like secret more.
while they both have a lot of material, and a great diveristy of material, i felt that secret handled everything better.
the album tracks are better, the ballads are better, the singles are just as good, and the overall flow of the album is ten times better.
while i do like black cherry, i feel like it proceeds in chunks. the songs dont flow very well into one another, and the tracklist actually takes away from the songs. i mean, ningyo hime followed by yume no uta really takes away from both tracks.
also, black cherry tends to drag a bit. i have the first press of both albums, the bonus tracks on black cherry just keep going and going. that also takes away from the album. but at the same time, if it were to stop right at milk tea, the ending would be so abrupt! there's no better scenario.
the bonus tracks on secret only drag a touch. there was really no need for its a small world, and i dont like that song at all. i loooove hot stuff, so the extra remix of that was nice.
overall, while both albums are comparable in variety and general concept, secret was just much better in execution.
