MY STORY and Guilty are my least liked albums; they don't feel cohesive to me...There are songs that I love from them, but I don't like to listen through the albums as a whole.
|
For me, the issue I have with MY STORY is simply the length that it has. It's such a LONG album with a middle that seems to drag. But despite that, if you are able to make it through all 74/76 minutes, you see how amazing it is as a while.
As for GUILTY, I would say I have to be a certain mood to listen to that album as a whole since (don't) Leave me alone and GUILTY are tracks that I normally don't listen to all that much. Everything else on that album is gold though, haha.
About cohesion, I feel as though with the way Japanese albums are usually crafted with single single single single album single single single album and so on... it's really hard to maintain a cohesive album if you're the type of artist that Ayu is who dabbles in genres all the damn time. A lot of her albums imo are as cohesive [yet not cohesive at all] and everything just seems to WORK. It's not the case for everyone, but for me it is, haha.

Secret (a rushed mess, even if all the songs were great, it doesn't work as a whole).

Rushed mess? It was rushed seeming [they worked on it to the very last minute they could] but it was NOT a mess. It was anything but, imo. The ending was somewhat scattered with all of the Bs near the end, but it's really quite nice to listen to from start to finish I think.

IMO RnRC is turning out to be her most generic album since My Story... but a good, fun, interesting generic^^
|
Generic? I think you might want to find a different word for this album, haha. All-inclusive, maybe? That kind of makes this album like (miss)understood imo.
This album's genre count so far is kind of scary, haha.
