OMG so bubblegum....embaressing.

I've only heard the 3 tracks on Jpopsuki but i dont even know if i am going to bother with this woman anymore, i know there is a chance i will like a song or two but it might not even be worth it...

About to listen to the new Waa Wei (TW), not as consistantly good as Ringo used to be but currently the only pop music i am following

A bit overly dramatic maybe? (she's always going to be worth keeping an eye on) but I do see where you're coming from. Besides for maybe two tracks I think this was a completely squandered opportunity. It just sounds so bad. I was really hoping for her to go at these tracks with something off the wall but it's just a big disappointment.

I'll keep my preorder as I like the case it's in but I don't see it getting any play whatsoever.

Are you suggesting it sounds like Jihen? If so I agree, but others may not.

You can't please all the people all of the time. The way some of you talk about Ringo makes me laugh.

" Besides for maybe two tracks I think this was a completely squandered opportunity. It just sounds so bad. I was really hoping for her to go at these tracks with something off the wall but it's just a big disappointment."

You haven't even heard the full album...are you saying this based off a couple minute long preview tracks and the PV?

I believe four full songs are out there now. I have no motivation to download the torrent though.

You should also you the forum's quote function if you want to quote somebody. Name names.

Yes. I doubt there's game-changing magic hidden from view. And we already have 3 full tracks from it as well. The taint of Jihen is all over it. I pre-emptively find it a missed chance and am strongly confident that it'll prove true come release. I take no joy in this by the way, I'm gutted about it. I was really looking forward to this.

Seishun no Mabataki is good and maybe one more but that's it. Private got wrecked and 雨傘 is truly dire.

真夏の脱獄者 sounds like Sonic 2 Chemical plant zone. Pretty sweet. 雨傘 is alright. Part of the melody sounds like Kono yo no kagiri. I'm a pretty big fan of 青春の瞬き. Preferred Tomosaka's カプチーノ. プライベイト sounded like it could be a Lazy Town song.

Not too bad overall. I'll eventually buy it.
