I disagree, but I know many people agree with her on this current assessment (and I can kind of see why, with certain songs... so does this mean I actually agree? Argh.). I have no doubt that it still was her -- but it probably an over-exaggerated effort on her part to overcompensate for her insecurity.

But she is in no way disowning it as a piece of work -- it's just not a "true" debut. It's still an important part of her growth as an artist. It's just this time it's more sincere... Or maybe this quote isn't the whole story. Someone needs to ask her. I'll probably send her an e-mail myself sometime...

And "You'll Die Right Along With Utada in Her 25th Thread" is pure thread-titling fail. UR DOIN IT RONG. TRY HARDER. (Though I must say "She's Got Us Oooooooing at Her Tadaaaaa(s) in her 25th Thread" contains a bit of win).

Yeah, I read that MySpace Biography as well. But until today, there was practically no mention of "Exodus" promotion wise this time around. I still consider it an important Album of hers and deserving of recognition. Oh well.

Awww really. I like the Dying one. It's different. Might be a little "Dark", but this is the women who writes songs about death and looks forward to it and just released a song title that translates into "I Die"/"I'm Dying". Hmmm.......

But hey, at least I did produce a "bit of win".
