I have the album...and I think too many of the songs sound like each other...with only hypnotic, eat you up, IDIFL, and Girls on Top being standouts. She needed a ballad of some sort and a less synthesized voice. I think she had ample marketing though, the radio tour, the MTV appearance, the Maple Story tie in, and that live appearance in Pasadena

Also, for the record, I haven't heard and of BoA's songs anywhere since its release, but I've surprisingly been hearing Utada's "Come Back to Me" MULTIPLE times in various places. I heard it on the radio in Milwaukee and Minneapolis, and I also heard it in a store at Mall of America. I'm wondering why she's being played so much and not BoA...?
Atleast you've heard Utada...I have yet to hear either...she's probably getting more plays cause Island is a bigger company.
