I never liked Kingdom. I really tried to like it because I absolutely LOVED Under but I just couldn't get into it. Dejavu was an equal disappointment so I got Gossip Candy instead. Universe had more songs I absolutely loved but had alot of filler songs I never listen to. So for me Japonesque is a definite improvement over Dejavu. The album is more cohesive and the only song I absolutely couldn't listen to out of the new album material was actually All for you. It sounded weak. A poor way to end the album.

Yeah Escalate sounded like it was trying to be Ecstasy but didn't really go anywhere. Lay down was ok but it made me laugh because I was trying to figure out what she was saying; "lay down lay down and rabid down a wall"? I think both songs would have benefited from some additional production or remixing. I found the the moans in So Nice and the chorus in Boom boom boys distracting from what could've been awesome songs. I liked Love Technique and Everyday even though they were the 'cute' songs on the album. Slow was really pleasant. In the air and Love me back are still the best songs on the album.

I only need to wait for the OS version to come out so I can buy it.
