natalaxie · #21 25th December 2004, 08:01 AM

i have to agree that my story has better quality music in my opinion. because i got this cd player for christmas with really good sound and bass, and when u listen to it there are jo so many sounds in there, its just fantastic, especially the start of About You mmmmm bass....

Totally agree - and in English of course, many people seem to find that hard to digest. Pity, since the album just really is good. However:

You might want to consider listening to Exodus again then, there's nothing wrong with the sound.

Does I smelleth bias? Yes, I does.

I got that when i first listen to the song but overtime i can see that she says "Exooodus"

-_-'' ...why are ppl comparing EXODUS to MY STORY?
i think some just wanted to make a point that ayumi hamasaki is better than utada hikaru....

that's TOTALLY no point !

Rebirthia · #26 28th December 2004, 07:45 AM

the sound with exodus is excellent, she used very different sounds in this cd... it's one of my fav things of the album...

i ahve already started a thred of the comparison in a thread called "suspicios"

There are those hardcore "fans" who like to stuck their idols in one mold.. off with them..

anyway, MY STORY didn't beat EXODUS that much. I need both them , can't choose one over the other. I meant they're still so different anyway, just nicely filling my different needs from the two of them.

Kremlin dusk is ok, but there is others that I prefered better. the fav is still Devil Inside, following by wonder 'bout(yes even the background beat) hell I feel like put it on right now. Other tracks are nice too. I like a person who isn't afraid to do her own things and not be afraid to take the fall for it, like Hikki. But I do understand that that many ex-fans and critics like to bash this 82 score (on the scale of 100) but I just happen to be one of those that actually like it not just because I am a fan.

-Ayu and Hikki Peace and Unity 4 ever-

Exodus is a good album....her voice is sounds very beautiful....but UTADA lost all the japanese of her music...

and about who is better...come on!....ayumi's music allways is better in all sence....
not becouse i'm a ayumi's fans...is someting that anyone can see.... the videos, the music...the singles....the style,,,the look... ayumi is superiour to all the other japanese artist. in all the countryies around the world so many peoples knows who is hamasaki ayumi.... and just for her work in japan.

There shouldn't be any cultural links in non-traditional modern musics.

What was so "Japanese" about the older songs anyway? The language in which it was sang?

And I already make my point clear, I don't need to choose, although on my own personal ranking Ayu is slightly edged over Hikki too.

For 1st week:

EXODUS has sold about 524,000.
MY STORY has sold about 574,000.

But such sales comparision is always pointless to me.

my story was more enjoyable for me

i bought exodus but have yet to listen to the whole album...

Chrono · #32 5th January 2005, 12:13 PM

exodus kicks my story's behind big time.

It's quite obvious why: how can I rate an album as good if half of the songs are crappy? Exodus however contains many quality songs...

Chrono · #35 6th January 2005, 07:22 AM

I'm totally behind My Story now, cause I found out, Exodus, is a riaa album. Please forgive me for supporting riaa products *shame*. It's just morally not right to support something like riaa

penwyn_chintara · #36 30th May 2005, 12:14 PM

I think EXODUS still okay. But the problem is i could'nt figure out the lyrics that i thought no connection from one to other...

lolo66 · #37 31st May 2005, 10:21 AM

There is a story theme there, just that the styles varies too much for most people to stick to it.

And Chrono, that's a reason that I will never go by.

RAISKA · #38 2nd June 2005, 01:20 PM

I don't like "EXODUS" at all...

What i meant is that... The way that she expressed the story theme is not that good or the words she chosen not really connected. When she sang the song to the chorus, i really don't feel the connection. Honestly speaking, i only like her song when she sang the chorus, that's all...

stardusties · #40 2nd June 2005, 05:51 PM

Well My Story had a lot of promo ...and Exodus didn't...just on Hikki's website
