I think it's different. No better, nore worse, just different.
Her Japanese music is so different from her Exodus stuff, that that's the only way i can really explain it. That's why i think they should be considered as two seperate entities. I definately love her Japanese stuff more than the tracks on Exodus as I find their replay value higher.
However, I think that her Exodus stuff was good as well. A lot of the tracks are well done, the lyrics are very gritty and dirty, but I think it's nice, in some odd twisted way. It's as she named her album, her "exodus" from Japan. Sadly, I don't know if she'll be making anymore of these exoduses
But I think the album is good as it is different. And the last track, which has become my personal favorite, is gold.
