THIS ALBUM IS JUST BEYOND FLAWLESS

Hot Girls is FREAKIN HOT. such a sexy little foot stepper! And Break It AL Version is AMAZING.
Gives such a fresh spin to the original. Not sure if i prefer it but it fits the album much better.

Go Round in english tho.. no, i could hardly listen to it all the way through.. awful.

But omg Namie please marry me NAW

^Yeah Hot Girls is amazing, gives me PLAY era vibes

LOL That's NamieEngrish (TM) for you. I don't understand her in Japanese or English so it doesn't matter for me
I also like the album.

EDIT: GO ROUND is 100x hotter in English to me. I actually WANT this album.

Omg, Break It album version is SO MUCH better than the single version. The single version was not good at all - it had a very awkward kind of funk to it. (Just like how the album version of Violet Sauce is much better than the single version).

Album version of Break It has a very badass beat to it. Very cool.

Hot Girls is just not my style. I hate it.

Great album!

I prefer the single version of Go Round but I love Break It's album version! I don't really care for Hot Girls but I love every other song on the album

Hot Girls, I love it, wasn't expecting to like it this much from the preview but I do. Can't wait for the PV now.

Album version of Break It hurts me head. The single version >

And I'm gonna pretend as if Go Round ('N Round) and Singing Yeah-Oh don't exist.

"Hot Girls" is a mess. I feel like it's the song she put the least effort into. I just get an overall feeling that she didn't try on this album. Three new songs only? "Let's Go" was the strongest new song on the album. Most of her singles this year (especially "Fight Together," "NAKED," "Love Story," and SSWD) were pretty good, though, so I'm sorta conflicted about the album. I think the album may grow on me in time, but right now, it's sort of a disappointment.

Haha, fair enough if you disagree. I guess it's just because she's had much stronger songs like "BAD HABIT," "Hide and Seek," "WoWa," etc., and I had high expectations for her. ITS and "Let's Go" are much better than "Hot Girls," in my opinion.

Hot Girls is absolutely awful. The new version of Go Round makes it worse(it's more repetitive now), aside that I so far really like the album. More like a collection of good singles though. Even the dog song grew on me.

LOL it's okay i just love using Friends gifs
I think Hot Girls is great for what it is, it's not trying to be a big banger like WILD or Higher. It's just a cute little show starter <3

Hot Girls is okay, but let's get to her English versions. I'm surprised lmao. I remember back then, my boyfriend and I were talking about her singing in full English since she uses it a lot. Maybe I'll get him to listen to this album later tonight since he likes Namie.

I like the album a lot. Good singles and new songs.

Actually, 4 new songs and 3 remakes/new versions

I'm more of a casual listener so this album pleases me a lot
I prefer YEAH-OH's japanese version though. Break it's new version is great, it offers a really different vision of it (which is really not something we usually get as "album version"). Hot Girls is really interesting, it sounds really different from the rest of the album, yet it totally fits in here. It may not sound as polished as the other new tracks, but it's not necessary something bad. It's quite addictive as a matter of fact.

Actually I like some of the single tracks a lot better here.

I do also really like the positive tone of the album. It's nice. Some of the songs are like, unoriginal, but they still make me feel good listening to them.

I'm really interested to see how some of these songs will pan out live. Like Fight Together or ONLY ONE.

Anyway, I'm sure the energy in the tour will be awesome.

As much as this style seems different...it's still really Namie to me. How some of the songs have that simple feel to them, and then of course how dancy they are, and some are still a bit funky.

Also happy with the few ballads.

I'm a little iffy about her vocals though. Her english vocals are kinda meh. But whatev.
