[REVIEW] of GUILTY album from a JPOP fan [blog removed]

heartplace83 · #1 25th January 2008, 05:31 AM

read this guy. its a good unbiased review. although not from any professionals out there.

synopsis:
GUILTY has gotten a lot of criticism by people who think it sounds like everything else Ayumi Hamasaki has done, and they are sort of right. She might be up to her old tricks again, but it’s never sounded so damn good. The album contains her most emotional and serious material to date; each track containing excellent lyrics and so on. Unlike her previous album Secret (which was poor in the construction department), the transitions are smoother and the interludes are better as well. The songs of GUILTY feel more put together and you could tell that Hamasaki put a lot of thought and work into this album because the overall production value is excellent. I guess you could say I’m guilty for enjoying this album...

I wish I could review that well. That was very professional writing, and it was enjoyable to read.

Is it beyond the sea from this board that wrote it though? It seems like there could be a correlation.

thanks for posting . I actually saw that review before cos I actually bookmarked the blog's address on my labtop .

I like the way that the writer writes for all of the entries that he penned . Could tell that the entries that he wrote are not biased & are written in a very professional manner .

yeah... Guilty is better than Secret or missunderstood anyway. I really like this album. there's no filler at all. Do u guys agree??

Minttulatte · #16 25th January 2008, 12:36 PM

GUILTY is way much better than Secret. :> I think it's even more better than (miss)understood, which was my favourite album from Ayu for a long time, but GUILTY surprassed it when it was released. I love it. <3 And I love (miss)understood, too, because that's awesome album. A total kick ass album along with GUILTY~ <3 Interludes work really nicely in the album, though I couldn't understand why there was so many of them at first. Nowadays it doesn't even matter at all. I love those interludes on the album. Marionette -prelude-, Mirror and The Judgement Day are creepy. :0 Really, They make shivers go down my spine. :3

And the first review was done better than the second, and I agree with the first reviewer. :3

I listened to all of ayumi's albums with the exception of her 1st 2 albums . I like all of them actually . She shows that it doesn't hurt to experiment with 1's music & she continues to churn out great music from every album she makes & I respect that because not every artiste can do that & to maintain such a great say/control over the way she runs things .

ayu_ready? · #18 25th January 2008, 01:53 PM

I agree with that guy
