I think OUTGROW and MIT(20) are pretty solid... There are some tracks which don't match to album theme/style and they can't be liked, but it depends on personal taste... (like KEY OF HEART, nanairo no ashita and Stay my gold for me) But they're good and enjoyable in listening, they contains catchy tracks. When OUTGROW was an album with the biggest music styles diversity from all BoA's albums IMO, MIT(20) brought new style for BoA, who began to sing more in R'n'B-ish, J-urban style... I loved that album for this. I used to dislike THE FACE, but Live Tour made me love tracks from this album and re-listening to them made me appreciate album. THE FACE is another good, solid album. IDENTITY... hmm... Was lacking something. But when you're listening to that album, you feel that BoA put something more personal than in previous albums and all came out from her work (composing etc.). And you become to understand why. It's definitely the most mature album, even though order of songs are kinda ridiculous (interludes? WTF?). I wonder if korean album is continuation of this style or it's going to sound like typical k-pop, produced by SME album.
OMG my english. Hope someone will understand what I wrote.
