Why can't Namie sing this just in a regular pitch??? (Sophie's version is still too high)
Such a great melody... wasted.

Amazing
Fly
Space Invader

Good
All the other songs except "Every Woman"

"B Who I Want 2 B" would have been better off as an instrumental interlude but it's oddly entertaining.

I'm actually a bit disappointed in the album
I do like some tracks though. I loved Stranger from the beginning and Scream is also really nice as well as Fashionista.
Anything seems to be the best track for me though. I'm really not liking the other tracks all that much except maybe It.

What I Did For Love is so so good.
Anything is the most boring song imo. And its PV is too. Never understand the like, if i like something like Anything i would prefer Ayu or someone else not Namie.

Still enjoying the rest <3

I wonder how the general consensus regarding FEEL vs. _genic is going to be after seeing some users comments here.

I like the album. I actually liked B Who I want 2 Be.

The are pretty equal on how I feel about them. Maybe I like FEEL just a bit more because I'm used to it, but I'll have to listen to _genic more to make a proper decision.
I still think both are weak compared to P<F, PLAY, Queen of Hip-Pop, STYLE and Uncontrolled, because they're not a music style I wanna see from Namie (which is probably why I have similar feelings for both), but I like them anyway.

I'm happy with this album. I've played genic today while playing tennis with some friends and they were cool with it which made me feel nice. Its a whole different experience when you listen to it with loud speakers outside. The it - Stranger - Scream - Fly - Time has come combo is amazing.
Complains : The song with that vocaloid is super lame though. And unnecessary. The instrumental is promising but fails to deliver.
Every woman must grow on me. I don.t really have a proper impression about it.

Love Tricky is more of a sound that I prefer in general. So it's hard to compete. But genic still gave me a couple of new songs for the summer to jam out to and that's all I need.

And that's fine. _genic isn't a bad album at all. I enjoyed it. I just found LOVE TRiCKY to be a more interesting album in the "EDM" aspect. Although I do much prefer FEEL over _genic.

Finally Stranger in a decent quality. Just what I wanted.

I like B Who I Want 2 B. It's a fun little track. I also enjoyed Time Has Come, Fly, Anything, and What I Did For Love.

Overall, my opinion of this album is the same I have of FEEL - few tracks I like, but pretty meh overall and don't hold a candle to past albums like PLAY or Past < Future.

*goes back to jamming to B Who I Want 2 B*

I think there's something strange about _genic.
Sometimes the flow goes perfectly, sometimes is not. It sounds a bit messy and loudly to me.

_genic it's a good jpop album indeed, but isn't anything special neither. Few tracks truly stands out: Fashionista, Golden Touch and my absolutely favorite Photogenic.
Actually I like B Who I Want 2 B too (and I thought Song 4 U was an annoying title lmao). Not kidding! Usually I dislike vocaloids, because their voices gives me headache, but Miku's voice sounds more human this time. It's kinda cute.
The other songs are between good and forgettable. Or the worst like Every Woman.

I think _genic will do the same as Uncontrolled for me. I'll enjoy the separated tracks, rather than packaged all together. The good thing is: _genic makes me appreciate FEEL much more lol.

This.
_genic is one of the best album in the J-Pop world. I prefer Ai's older album.

I love basically every song on this album. Except Every Woman, that songs way too stale for me lol. Cohesively, FEEL beats this album. But I feel (lol) like _genic has something FEEL lacks (and visa versa). I'm not quite sure how to put it haha. _genic's a great follow up though.

It would've come close to being my album of the year if it weren't for LOVE TRiCKY ahahaha.

EDIT: i had the sudden realization that U hum sneak it is an anagram of Hatsune Miku. My mind is blown LOL.
