Alright... after listening to the whole album... lemme tell what i feel. XD
I think...
This is the One is a cool and well-done album. I mean in my Opinion, this is something new from Utada. Then... lemme state what i feel about each track.
01. On and On
Oh my GOD! This is an excellent track. I really love it... but there are some instance when i can't hardly understand what she's singing. LOL. A great track to open up the album.
02. Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence ~FYI
Not actually my favorite... but it's beautiful. It's like a merge between Utada and Utada Hikaru. Maybe if it's placed on the tracks of Exodus, it will go pretty well on the flow of the album. I'm not sayin' that it's not appropriate on the album but its sort of something that has its own corner.
03. Apple and Cinnamon
Beautiful... but it keeps repeatitive in times especially on the bridge where Utada says "Don't look me that way",. if im not mistaken.
04. Taking My Money Back
For me, this song is my least favorite. It's not i don't really like it but... for me, yeah... UTADA tries to be mainstream this time... but this track... is the most mainstream of all the mainstreamness ever existed. LOL
05. This One (Crying Like a Child)
Probably the strongest track on the album for me. It has the potential to be the next single and honestly speaking... it has the most descent lyrics on the album. XD
06. Automatic Part II
Nothing much to say... like a song from a Charlies Angel movie!? errr
07. Dirty Desire
Its a WOW. Something like ***** Cat Dolls will do. It's a new twist from utada.
08. Poppin'
Poppin!!! Yeah! Poppin!!! For me it's a FUN track. I think, it's a comical relief of the album.
09. Come Back to Me
Dunno what to say... it's good ... and it's played for a countless times on my player. Haha
10. Me Muero
Many people don't like this neh? But for me... it's a nice track.. But... it... it... sorry but... it doesn't really suits the flow and athmosphere of the whole album... Maybe it's a sign for the next style that Utada will be using!? LOL...
Overall...
This is the ONE is the One that i've been waiting from
Utada. XD
