[Namie Amuro] The 63rd thread

[KremlinChaos]

I'm loving this album. It's so great to have a collection of her collabs <3.

Deserving those sales so ****ing much.

I've been listening to her discography lately and rediscovered the love for oldschool stuff. Concentration 20 is one of the best albums ever made.

Thank you for stating that, I believe Concentration 20 was one of the best albums ever made too, imo it was much better than Sweet 19 Blues, but hey, the best albums are always the ones with the least recognition.

[Chiharo]

I prefer SWEET 19 BLUES waaaay over Concentration 20, even if I still do like all of the songs from it. But that's just having different taste.

I'm glad about the sales of Checkmate! even if I honestly didn't like it that much.

I think SWEET 19 BLUES was an AWFUL album, especially for a debut. It's just kind of a mess with pretty much only the singles as standouts. Concentration 20 was an awesome album that took a lot of unconventional risks, and they paid off.

[neuteka]

I like Sweet 19 Blues about the same amount as Concentration 20. They are both pretty different, and very good. I love the fact that Sweet 19 blues has a lot of instrumental tracks, but has plenty of regular tracks as well. It had a bit of a messy composition, but that makes it more adoring for me. I love the industrial and experimental feel of Concentration 20, and I like the fact that it has some sweet, easy tracks as well as hardcore ones (lol)

I downloaded all of her albums but I haven't listened to them yet

[adantatu2]

i'm glad, really good sales

[~StarCatcher~]

I'm so excited and I just can't hide it *haha*

I'm getting Checkmate with Driving Hit's 3 next week.
Finally I will listen to both albums tracks*-*

Yeah, same here... I replaced the ROCK U I used to have from the ravex album with this one, and I had to put the volume all the way up to decently hear the checkmate! version.

I had that problem too its really annoying cos i have to remember to turn it down just as the song ends so I dont end up bursting my eardrums as the next song comes on

U should look at 2011 Oricon Yearly Chart and see the whole picture, Checkmate! on it 3rd days has already stood on top 15, so this is amazing enough.
