[Namie Amuro] The 77th Official Thread「FEEL」

[pommy48]

Well that was fun....just looking at the same 5 pics >_>

For such an "alive" song, everything sure felt dead

It's fine...I prefer the CD only cover anyways

[freedreamer]

Hearing the album in 320kbps makes it so amazing

[terra]

Alive is as I expected!?...oh well the teaser is really the PV bits then, they could do better job next time

and I LOVE the album! It's definitely better than Uncontrolled as it's more cohesive in sound than Uncontrolled, haven't decide my new favorite songs yet xD

Same. It usually takes YesAsia 2-3 weeks to get anything to me, sometimes longer.

[thinkingoutloud89]

so
the album is amazing, but I wish for a more J-poppy album next time. It is just no J-pop anymore...I don't mean the cutesy **** but the language. I listen to japanese music because of the language. Not that I dislike Namies english but..well you get my point

that said, alive, heaven and poisen are my favs so far. beautiful and damage both wouldn't have fit on the album. she made a good choice (unlike with the speed star which was very fitting!)

[toLOVE]

Haven't hear any of the new song, waiting for my CD to come. I'm really happy to read all these good reviews. I feel like this album will be as good as PLAY (to me that is). I hope Namie's going to sing another English album, haha.

[Zeke.]

The production on the songs is pretty top-notch. All the ones in the album that didn't leak prior to today are way better than the promotional tracks with PVs. But, I don't really like Namie's voice for this style of music. She is really hit or miss with me, most of the time she sounds like she's in pain. Like someone is constantly pinching her skin in the recording studio.

[Not Fade Away]

Better than Play even, IMO, but I just love the dance songs so much that it's like pure Eargasm.

Supernatural Love is so FIERCE.

No hating on Play, I just know that Play has more skippable songs on it for me than FEEL does at this moment.

I'm having a hard time skipping any songs on FEEL other than like LMLYG and BBC.

[Benikari47]

^It's definitely better than PLAY, while i adore that album it does have some filler. Not bad per say, but i find the songs on FEEL much more memorable.
Past<Future is my favorite album, but FEEL is right behind it! God i'm having it on repeat and it just get's better and better!

I made a new cover for the album btw, to fit the sound more than my old one!

Alive is the most pointless PV ever but I ain't even mad because the album is just so good.

It's a good day to be a Namie fan

I LOVE THIS EVEN MORE THAN THE REAL COVER!!!

EDIT: Also, I wonder when we'll see the FEEL Tour Goods. I DEFINITELY wanna get some of them. Oh, and is there anywhere online where you can buy those Namie Dolls she releases? Even her Facebook Store doesn't have 'em....

[Lady~Deviance]

I hope for her 12th album Namie lets Nao'ymt produce more songs, brings back T.Kura, Michico, Shinichi Osawa, and keeps Steven Lee. Steven's production for "Supernatural Love" and "Neonlight Lipstick", despite being auto-tuned atrocities to many people, is great.

I'm glad Namie decided to work with more international producers (to get it out of her system), but the songs seem to lack novelty because of it. But that's due to my over-saturation of Western music I guess.

For some reason I find her Asian produced songs more innovative and timeless.


The packaging for all three editions of the album is flawless. Especially those back covers.

[ak.malfoy]

Oh my goodness, I just LOOOVE this album! No filler materials for me, though LMLYG really could've been better.

This will be the perfect summer album for me!

[R_Hikki]

Album of the year for me honestly. I haven't been this excited for an album since PLAY.

"Rainbow" and "Stardust In My Eyes" make me think of Adventure Time, I love it

[Chiharo]

Okay, I'm on LMLYG and so far (listening to the whole album), it's really not bad as I expected it to be. I actually like the album quite a lot. Isn't this Namie's shortest album running time wise? It's only about 42 minutes long. Still, a pretty good album. And very upbeat at that. But I really like it. There's something about it that makes me like it even if it's very mainstream.

[adantatu2]

My favourites songs are the songs with music videos, the songs in the album aren't bad, but, in my opinion they're forgettable.

This album has to grow on me a bit more. A lot of the songs sound too "America's Billboard Top 40" for my taste. It's a nice change for Namie and Japan but, I will not be adding this album to my physical CD collection. This album is more cohesive than "Uncontrolled" I'll say that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

agree with ya. this album sounds a lot like a western release (short lenght, dance upbeat tracks, a bit of dubstep and urban rhythm). but actually i liked it a lot and yeah, i'm gon buy a physical version of it asap *u*~
what i like the best about the songs is that they are most sang in english and dont sound fake.. the album is pretty cohesive and the songs fit each other pretty good!~ loved it, 5 out of 5!

[Me, Myself & Music]

I really like the album, I think it's a solid effort, especially after Uncontrolled, that album just did nothing for me.

But Feel.... There's only 1 or 2 songs I didn't really care for my first listen.

Now to decide what version I'm going to purchase.

[jean-baptiste]

The first 6 tracks and LMLYG are really good. The rest will grow on me.

[chikocchi]

EDM is not a genre that I really like
Every now and then it's enjoyable, but an album full of it?
No thanks. :\
And like others said, this is just songs that sound like Top 40 tracks
Doesn't mean they're bad, it's just there's nothing special about them

Disappointed with this release
