Yeah, I remember. There were a lot of I am... snobs around - more so than LOVEppears/Duty snobs, which is weird because I think they're both superior albums. I think a lot of people were infatuated with I am... because it's when she first started composing, thus people felt the album was more "personal" and it gave people some bragging rights. "Oh yeah? Well my favorite artist Ayumi Hamasaki writes her own lyrics AND music." And a lot of the people who visited the forum back then were really big on trance and that album had Connected, which people like fawned over. You could have really called that song overrated back in the day, even though you always see it on people's underrated lists now.
