But as much as I like RR, I too agree that there was alot of nonsense going on in the middle of the song. Escalating absurdity is a pretty good way to refer to it. The piano, the organs, Timmy's stupid choir vocals; layer upon layer of noise. None of it was necessary, the song is strong enough to stand on its own without all that.

^^I still don't even hear Timmy on RR. I did start to hear him on Shake It, and now that part really annoys me. LOL ugh

How is it that you can't hear him? The moaning after every line Ayu sings after the piano organ nonsense is him. I wish I could tune him out but I can't.

He has a point about Reminds me, it's like they literally flicked through the book of epic cliches and threw it into the middle of the song but it doesn't really add anything to the song.

So I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks of Michelle Branch when I hear call ...
But I kind of see what he means...as much as I have commended this album & enjoyed it, there is a stark difference between the songs... |

Wow, what a harsh review. If I weren't a fan of Ayu's already, I very well may have agreed with it completely, but since I am biased, I actually quite like the album with the exception of the broadway songs. Literally every other song is good but those.

^^Not sure, I just have not heard him yet. Maybe my mind is purposely blocking him out. LOL idk...but I'm using Bose in-ear phones, so it's definitely not the quality.

^ but consider how the line is presented, in a quite silly rhyming line that isn't even the focus of the song. It's not exactly a unique line she is presenting, he can't be blamed for overlooking the line as something to add half hearted emotional depth to the album when the rest of that song betrays that concept.
I get the concept, 'cause I am an Ayu fan, but the lyrics - aside from dealing more explicitly with her divorce in some places - really aren't anything we haven't come to expect from her, and her her standard Jpop output now - sans ESM & tnL of course. I don't think he's lazy, he's doing his job, listen to the album how an everyday consumer would and say what he thinks, it's a sales review not an artistic album critique. Ayu IS only pop music at the end of the day, no matter what fans (including myself) dress her up to be. :/ |

LOL he's saying the best part of the album is the first three songs? To me, the album becomes a masterpiece after call, so we totally diverge on this.

all he did was review the name of the album thinking it would be something else which is a lousy job on his behalf, then bash the album because it wasn't a "party" sounding CD

But someone whose job consists of listening music albums (or watching movies, or appreciating fine arts) and objectively analyzing it and saying if it's good or bad should at least take a look on the whole material (lyrics included) and do some research about the context in what the piece of work was made. He is not a casual listener, he is not a random listener... He is someone being paid to give his impressions about it and say on mass media if it's good or bad, if people should buy it or not... So, IMO, the way he did it is pretty lazy. If he said something like "she was trying to portray how lonely a party queen is and how much they strugle with their own lifes, but it ends being pretentions and empty" for example, I would disagree, but wouldn't find it either bad or lazy... |

'How Beautiful You Are'. As Hamasaki emotes her way through this wretched, generic bit of fluff, it's like the hangover kicking in at the end of an all-night karaoke session: it was fun once, but this party ended a long time ago.
I can agree on this line, at least. Overall, I would give Party Queen a B, personally.
