Utada has proven herself a musically inclined force of great proportion. Therefore, after listening to Come Back to Me, it's safe to say that this is not up to par with the talent she pocesses. It leads me believe that she may be toning herself down after Exodus being too strange for us US music fans.

No. She said that she got to do everything she wanted to do with Exodus and in her current state of mind she does not want to do another Exodus; she thought it would be okay if the second album didn't have "her colors as thick as they were" on Exodus. Seriously, she has talked about all of this already. You'd all save a lot of speculation if you read her own words! I'll even give you the link:

Since you have such a large understanding of the American music industry you could appreciate the fact that there are amazing singer/songwriters out there who are successful and popular. They don't need to have beats and producers named to make up for the lacking.

This is 100% truth.

Unfortunately, again, some people can't grasp that concept and immediately try to dismiss the people. I wouldn't want her Japanese music here, I would cringe if I heard an English version of Boku wa Kuma, let alone an English version of Heart Station.

Yes. But I think that's only because we've heard them in Japanese -- the English version would clash with what we've already heard.
