[Koda Kumi] The 189th Thread — W FACE inside/outside + Driving Hit's 7

[Chibi-Chan]

Just listened to Outside. Am I the only one who thinks it's beyond annoying? I listened to it during my work out and I stopped working out after just 35 minutes because I was honestly exhausted listening to all that noise and needed a little silence.
W FACE would have had potential, but this "yes bitch" line is so annoying I can't. It's noise. Ultraviolet sounds like a thousand other Koda songs, but is quite nice compared to the rest of the album. Insane is the best one imo since the fake rock anthem feel of it during the chorus gives it at least a little individuality. Heartless is so out of place, what was that? And where the hell is the bass in Bassline? If you call a song Bassline you damn fucking give it a damn great bassline. Furthermore, what is it with this fake big band instruments style in mostly every second song? Is it supposed to sound "artsy"? If you want a song to sound like real music, you better use real instruments.
I was so looking forward to this album, but after this one is again, like the last one, mostly "cool" "artsy" uninspired sounds aka noise mixed with uninspired beats I guess I will give up on Koda.
Is Inside any better or will I waste my time listening to it?

Well I had similar feelings as you towards Outside. I also hated that yes bitch cringe.
But I did enjoy Inside. But I wouldn't say that it's her new best album. The consensus here seems to be that it is bland and boring. I enjoyed it because I tend to like Koda Kumi's softer side. It's worth giving a try I think.
