it's okay, nothing special. no songs stand out to me, i find the album pretty boring actually, but most of the songs are listenable.

it's ok, nothing special

it sounded like a generic american album >_>, the musical composition wasn't that amazing either

...eh.

Not horrible, but not the top of her game at aaaalllll. And only 10 tracks? Really? Exodus was 10x better.

Greatest album of the century :yes

Honestly, I always saw Utada as an artist who was getting better and better as time went by. ULTRA BLUE and HEART STATION were amazing albums.

This Is The One just feels like a step back for her. The composition was bland, the style and everything about it feels like a complete step back from the standards her previous Japanese albums set for her. Though, the lyrics were an improvement from Exodus (seriously, I think I felt uncomfortable listening to Exodus during some songs...). I think This Is The One is Utada's worst work yet.

^Utada =/= Utada Hikaru


Greatest album of the century :yes [2]

I like it, 1000000x better then Heart Station. It's not her best work, but it's enjoyable, and there are some pretty good songs (Apple and Cinnamon <3)

yeah, i like it :D it honestly was a good album, but i'll always love her jpop albums much more.

For me, come back to me is the best song so far, the intro of Merry Xmas is cute and kinda chinese song feel. Overall, the album is more radio-friendly compared to her exodus which i felt so boring most of the songs there, although i love Kremlin Dusk to death.

I wonder what happen to her English album cover art? Hikki Japanese album cover arts are so beautiful and lovely. But this 2nd album cover look just the same design as her Exodus, so cheap and low quality. What happen to her record company?? It is such a huge disappointment to me.

I can't stand it... :no

So disappointed. I expected better from Hikki.

I really, really enjoyed this album! :D I thought it was amazing.

I'm not huge fan of some mainstream music, but This Is The One has something so magical in it that I fell in love with the moment On and On began playing on my Windows Media Player. I really love the album and every song on it so I can't say nothing else than "I love it!". :)

i love it!.... the packaging is still an issue lol
the booklet is still boring lol

It's ok.

loove it :love

automatic part II is a piece of crap, but the whole album is amzing!! I love it!

I didn't have high expectations with for the album, but once I heard it I was really impressed! I wouldn't say it is a great album, but I think it is pretty good!
