Finally got my Album in the mail today and just finished listening to all of the songs for the first time.

Ummmm....."FIRST TIMER" be the bees knees kids. I don't know what you people have been talking about but I LOVE IT! It's like "WILD" on some undiscovered illegal substance! And having it and "WILD" right next to each other on the Album is perfect. Already the best new song on the Album for me and after much retrospection and deliberation I'll decide whether it is indeed the best song on the Album period, and it might very well end up being just that.

I'm glad they FIXED the ending to "COPY THAT." And I'm loving the new sounds I'm hearing in "FAST CAR."

"The Meaning Of Us" is growing just a smidge on me. Just a little smidge.

"Bad Habit"..........hmmmm I'm going to have to listen some more. I have only heard it once. The same goes for "Steal My Night." Right now when I try and remember what they sound like, they're kind of meshing and blending together for me. So I'm not too clear on them at this moment. But I remember liking them when I was hearing them. All the previously heard songs are still very nice.

And "Shut Up." This was scaring me. Twas not impressed with the preview. And hearing comments about it here and other places were discouraging me. But it ended up being okay. Some catchy parts. Love the beginning intro. There are just some really good parts I like on the song and those parts save the entire song as a whole so it's okay in my book. Eventually I got that Nao'ymt feel I was hoping and searching for. More subtle, but it's there.

"WILD" sounds so much better on this Album than it does on the Single. Not sound wise, but just being a part of a whole suits it well instead of it just standing alone on a Single with "Dr.".

I like every song on the Album and Love the Album. I say it's definitely leaps and bounds better than "PLAY."

I think Namie and her team achieved that Crazy and Wild feel/theme that they were striving for.
