Distance was a technical advancement from First Love, which was okay, but left much to be desired, imho. It had Utada's catchiest songs and some of her most clever lyrics. I enjoyed the songs. Deep River was kinda a disappointment. I liked the singles, but found the album material very bland and almost "overdone." They sounded too much like songs she'd already written.
