First one i heard is EASY...LOVE the opening hahaha..
the chorus sounds really lazzzzyy hahahaha..but the music is DOPE
I dont think Japanese will enjoy this song though..they prefer more pop songs..

LAZER has a sick opening too!!! the chorus is quite short..

i only heard half the songs. will hear them fully later. very different for sure.

I'm listening to the album right now. I LOVE "This Is Who I Am" too bad it is only 2:52.

aloopy · #**308** 8th February 2010, 03:18 PM

First.. The interludes are REALLY unnecessary

LoL EASY & fallin' are the worst songs imo. Maybe they'll grow on me over time.. they just annoy me right now lol

The rest is actually pretty average/good! I like how.. laid back and simple this album is.. well maybe that's just me lol

I give this album a 7/10

noisy_harmony · #**309** 8th February 2010, 04:25 PM

Can anyone upload album here?

freedreamer · #**310** 8th February 2010, 04:33 PM

aww..its still not up for download.
fallin' really sounds like one old jpop song. OH YES LADY GO!!...
I like the beat very much.

is it just me, or BoA sounds really bored in most of the songss??

Me either! I'm in love with this song!
So jazz and cool

Kaiouforever · #**313** 8th February 2010, 05:44 PM

Wow I've only heard the intro and I'm already impressed =D BoA has really grown up!

rookies · #**314** 8th February 2010, 06:27 PM

Thx for the youtube streaming links, I'm going to listen to it now.

U-GO-BOY · #**315** 8th February 2010, 06:54 PM

wow I think this is her worst album ever.. :/ I can't feel ANY of the songs

Review:

This Is Who I Am Very awkward melody and rather bad vocals. I don't really like it, the melody really ruins the song. The atmosphere and the instrumentals are very good though.
EASY What a mess of a chorus. Jesus, everything from her vocals, to the melody, to the arrangement of it is a mess. The composition in the verses and bridge are pretty good, and I like the opening. But on a whole the track is a BIG no. and what was up with the end, she sounded stoned lol.
BUMP BUMP! I always liked this song

As a sax player myself, I loved the sax in it. And you can NOT go wrong with Verbal and BoA. They're a match made in heaven. It's a fun song

LAZER now this is what I'm talking about <3 killer melody, killer arrangement, and good vocals. Good job BoA, I really like this track~~
interlude #1 God if you're going to copy Ayu at least do it right. This is the most unnecessary interlude ever created.
is this love Jazzy, I like it enough. It's kinda boring though, it's not a track I'd loop on it's own, but I definitely won't skip it when listening to the album.
まもりたい～White Wishes～ I don't care what anyone says, this is like BoA's best track in years <3 It's the perfect winter pop ballad. Absolutely perfect <3
interlude #2 Another useless interlude

ネコラブ It's a guilty pleasure type song

I like the melody, I like the arrangement, I like her voice. It's not a "good" song perse, but I like it <3
THE END そして and... (album ver.) I love the piano <3 It's really pretty <3 But you know, then you get into the song. I never really was fond of this song, it's REALLY boring. It was far too long already, and the album makes it LONGER. I will give it this, I think parts of this have some of the best vocals on the album.
Possiblity Hands DOWN the best track on the album. This song is gorgeous, I'm so happy to have it in HQ, it's probably the only piece of perfection on this album, even Mamoritai isn't as good as this is <3
Fallin' I love the use of vocoder in it <3 The arrangement can get a little grating, and it's a little repetitive, but I really like it. I like the english bridge.~
my all It makes me think of another song of hers... I DO NOT like the trumpets that pop up. It seems really... shallow. I don't know why. It almost feels like she's trying for a grand ballad, not that there's a genuine ballad there. It's like is this love, it's not one I'll loop, but it's not one I'll skip either.

All and all, I'm sorta impressed and let down at the same time. I had almost NO hopes for this album till Possibility. But whatever hopes I had were let down. It's really not... a good album. It's an INCREDIBLY weak album, and it has no real stand out hits except for the singles and Possibility. The rest of the tracks really have no life or emotion of their own.

I didn't hate it, but I didn't really like it either. BoA what happened to you

...

Also, I have pretty much no real desire to hear it again, which is another bad sign really.

Oh thanks a lot, i'm downloading now

My review:

This is who I am - This is a refreshing sound for BoA and I think she pulls it off very well. It's not really an exciting introduction but it's pleasant to listen to. She says "This is who I am" a LOT lol.

EASY - What is this? She sounds so bored here. "la la la -files nails- -rolls eyes-"
I really don't like this :/ Not to mention a lot of BoA trying to sound cool but winding up sounding extremely dorky.

BUMP BUMP! - I actually don't mind this song much anymore, I used to hate it but it's alright now, nothing special though. Idk, I really hate when she tries to sound cool with "I"M A ROCKSTAR" but it just always sounds so dorky to me.

LAZER - omg the intro is really cool. This song is pretty good, kind of messy though.

interlude #1 - lol

is this love - Kind of boring, but pleasant to listen to, it's alright.

まもりたい～White Wishes～ - Probably the best song on the album. I love the music and her vocals in this song.

interlude #2 - lol again

ネコラブ - Maybe she should stick to having other people write her lyrics, these are so dorky and stupid. I don't like this.

THE END そして and... (album ver.) - Too long, I like the shorter version of this more.

Possibility duet with 三浦大知 - Great song, I could do without the guy in it though.

Fallin' - Boring. I get it. You're fallin' in love. No need to repeat it 5000 times in the song.

my all - SO BORED. Nothing special about this.

Overall this really isn't a great album. It even makes Koda Kumi's new album seem interesting. It does have some good tracks though.. the ones I'll be playing more are Possibility, まもりたい～White Wishes～, and maybe LAZER.

My rather negative review can be found here.
BoA really disappointed me with this album.
