No, I'm not mixed up at all. My taste in music is just superior to everybody else's (except for Jihad's). I never liked Kabuki or Kenka Joutou and don't see the appeal in them either. Kabuki might work if it was Phase 1 with some heavy guitar. Alas, it isn't. Just to make my opinion on Adult painfully clear, I broke it down in fighting game tiers:

God Tier:
Superstar
Tegami
Tasogare Naki

Upper Mid Tier:
Kenshou Naoshi
Himitsu

Lower Mid Tier:
Yukiguni
Blackout
Shuraba

Low Tier:
Toumei Ningen
Kenka Joutou
Kabuki

I think Himitsu is the best song on the album, and I like kenka joutou and I think kabuki and toumei ningen are very fun tracks. Kabuki is especially entertaining when you hear it in order and it blends perfectly with the ending of yukiguni.

SS is by far my favorite, but compiling the rest of my list is easy -

I'd put Maou's "God Tier" near the bottom tier in my list...>_< Himitsu, Kenka Joutou, Shuraba, and Blackout are the best on the album IMO.

Anyway, I voted for Shouso Strip...just so many songs I liked instantly and it really made me a fan.

But in terms of quality, there is something to be said for every album.

Excuse me for doing this, but I must compare her albums to Radiohead albums.

Muzai Moratorium = a more quality Pablo Honey (very poppy tracks, but awesome)
Shouso Strip = The Bends (easy to get into, great stand out, high energy tracks)
KSK = OK Computer (considered by many to be the masterpiece, takes longer to get into but once you're in, you love it forever)

Heisei Fuuzoku = Kid A (really quite strange, shows a different side of the artist. Causes people to panic and wonder if the artist will go back to their old ways or not)

See, I'd bump every album up 1. MM = The Bends (fresh, likeable, energy), SS = OKC (same formula, more experimental, broader), KZK = Kid A/Amnesiac (waay more experimental, once you start digging it, you love it forever), and then HF=Hail to the Thief (sucks.) =P

(I exclude Pablo Honey cuz..well...spare Creep and Stop Whispering...)

You surely must mean Kenka joto. Sounan is on Kyoiku right.
