I thought MY STORY was a rather good album, but because of the large amount of new tracks and the sheer length of it all, it's hard to listen to as an album. (It's her longest original album and had her most new album tracks ever, I think.) It did spawn the amazing AT05, so for people that didn't like the album, at least something good came out of it. MY STORY and RAINBOW are among some of her most underappreciated works from the first 6 years of her career. And as for a generic album, ASFXX's arrangements were straight out of the mid-90s and most people seem to dislike it because of how dated it sounds. I desire a rearrangement of that album so that it can get the credit that it deserves.
