I can't stop listening to JUST THE WAY YOU ARE, I REALLY wish it was a single, I'd love an instrumental since that's the part of the song I like <3

It could have been, it has a PV if I remember correctly lol.

ALBUM RANKING TIME!!!

Secret - Just awesome, very fun, the first Kumi album I bought.
Grow Into One - First album I heard from her, very solid RnB/Pop tracks.
TRICK - Fresh new sound, fun and very upbeat but the ballads were just weak and lacking urban sounds.
Black Cherry - Too many tracks were released ahead of time, probably its main downfall.
Kingdom - Only a small handful of the tracks really stood out, but had a great flow.
BEST~Second Session~ - Like Kingdom, but I felt it was pretty inconsistent in quality track after track.
Affection - It contains her classic debut singles but I felt the album tracks were lacking greatly.
Feel My Mind - I thought it was garbage, it's the only Kumi album I don't own. I only liked 4 tracks or so.

No, you're not, Ai no Kotoba is one of the few tracks on this album I like <3

Intro to Trick: eh. I get that she's trying to have that "circus feeling" in the intro instrumentals, but I dunno, it just sounds unpolished. The song, however, is actually not half bad.
Taboo: <3
Show Girl: I dunno why, but it reminds me of Run for you life. Decent song, not spectacular
Your Love: I normally like her more RnB-ish ballad, but this song just...dragged and dragged, and I really don't like her vocals in this song.
Stay With Me: it's a carbon-copy of her major power-ballad, but I can't stop listening to this song, mainly because I actually really like her vocals in this song.
This is not a love song: One of the better album songs
Driving: the melody's not particularly catchy for me, and the arrangement kind of get on my nerves.
Bling Bling Bling: I hope she was kidding with this song. I truly do, but oh does it give me the Lulz.
That Ain't Cool: it honestly would be more fitting on a Fergie album. But eh, it's not a bad Fergie song.
Hurry Up!: Also one of the best songs on the album
Moon Crying: I still like the piano version better, but at least it deviated a little from her other ballads in terms of arrangements
Just the way you are: it's not a bad composition, but it's not a song for her voice at all. It doesn't allow her to show her vocals, and end up making her sound like she lost her voice or something
Joyful: It felt like Someday/WIND, but I dunno, it doesn't make that impact with me the way the other two songs had.
Ai no Kotoba: Wonderful arrangement.

Overall, eh. It's not a bad album that makes me want to rip out my ears, but it's just that nothing stood out, except for three songs. Maybe driving will grow on me.

btw, whats the romaji for track 14 from trick?

愛のことば

edit: haha, nevermind...its in the post before mine.

[Brodie Boy]

Everyone usually has what they like and don't like on the album, but I usually just like everything. So, I think I will still like this album, from what i've heard and seen I think I will!.

[ohsixthirty]

quick question...

regarding vinyls, does anyone know how much Koda's american vinyls of "take back" and "trust your love" would be worth?

[Melrose]

Hmm I was in a very love-y feel-good mood so I decided to listen to Your Love for the first time. ^^ The intro is SOO SWEET and pretty! With the sound and her beautiful vocals. <3

But then the verses are rather boring and bland.. I dunno.. I was expecting something like Always. There's not much interesting instrumentation going on to support the song's feeling and story. It reminds me of Hikki's Come Back To Me only with a more forgetful melody.

Still absolutely LOVE the intro though.

[bizkid1990]

I'm glad that there is no over-pop-cutesy song here in Trick, i didn't like Wonderland from Kingdom, =)

[freedreamer]

INTRO TO TRICK - AMAZING!
TABOO - Her best song ever
show girl - cute and fun. Bouncy too..reminds me of Run for your life but an "upped" version...
Your Love - really sweet..its not bad actually..but might not be memorable
stay with me - I still like this ballad a lot...veyr positive
This is not a love song - quite surprising..especially the BOOM at the back...its quite gd actually but i wont listen to it all the time..the chorus sounds lazy
Driving - TIED at best album song
BBB - i really didnt like it but now it seems ok and quite cathcy and fun
TAC - blegh
Hurry Up! - OMG COOL!!! TIED with Driving
Moon Crying - its a nice ballad..but aftertime it does seem dull...only at the end it sounds better
JTWYA - Very nice!!!!
Joyful - yep its gd. definitely WIND part 2
Ai no Kotoba - I really like the opening! if it werent piano..it would have felt rather epic. I like how she ends off with this...the chorus is quite generic.. I dont really like her voice..quite shrill >.<
Venus - i dont understand the verses...lol..but the music is superb

I REALLY LIKE THIS ALBUM...
the reason Black Cherry FEELS better is because of its diversity..and that was shown through its singles...

[kotora]

This album should be call "Show Girl Driving Bling Bling Bling" and her tour should call "Koda Kumi Driving Bling Bling Bling Tour 2009"

[mangoo_x3]

ITS OUT OMGOMGOMOGMGOMGOGMGOGMGOMGOMGOGMG!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!~


Oh ku and how excited she makes me!!!!! GOOTTTTA LISTEN <33333333333

[Ayumiko]

Finally downloaded Trick and listened to the entire album twice. Here is my review:

Introduction for trick: Great intro. Not the best from her but I like it better than the Kingdom intro.

TABOO: definitely the best track on the album. I like how its right after the intro track.

Show Girl: I don't like koda's cute songs and this is one of them but it is better than her other ones.

Your love: boring. Reminds me of anytime and a lot of her other songs. >_>

Stay with me: I never liked this song.

This is not a love song: one of the better tracks on the album. Probably the 3rd best.

Driving: This is the second best track on the album.

Bling x 3: this song is awful and annoying. This sounds like a fergie song.

That ain't cool: I don't know if this is worse or bling x 3. These 2 songs stands out from the rest in a bad way.

Hurry up!: Too messy for me. I don't know what to think of it.

Moon crying: is ok. better than stay with me.

Just the way you are: another one of those cute songs from koda that I don't care about.

Joyful: Another one again...but this will make a good end of concert song.

Ai no kotoba: I like the piano...that's all.

Venus: Kinda embarrassing to listen to.

*ok out of all the songs, only TABOO, driving, and this is not a love song will remain on my computer. Kingdom was a better album imo. The ballads on this album is weak. They should of made pvs for driving and this is not a love song instead of show girl and just the way you are. Bling x 3 and that ain't cool was really bad. Overall Trick is just a ok album...thank god for TABOO. It feels like this album is full of songs the Japanese audience will like...the cute and ballad songs. I wonder how well this album will do.

[Kaiouforever]

I feel like this album will appeal to everyone. There probably will be tracks that people like and dislike, but I doubt anyone will say "I hate EVERY TRACK," so that's good it has versatility. Personally, I like most of the tracks on the album, a few are still filler-esque for me, but I think this album turned out well! Except for the ballads, most of the songs fit the theme quite nice.

[rookies]

I like the scans. She tried something different this time, and I like that. ^^

[LuverOfLuv]

I love the album, and the pics are great... Can't wait to get my copy...

[KarenPang]

This pic's my fave <3 :

Spoiler:

can't wait for Warner S'pore to print TRICK locally

[Kaiouforever]

The picture of her on the pole is love. It's not really that "dirty" but it's still sexy, the way her hair looks. =] I want that as my sig or avatar!
