But considering "good" and "bad" are concepts filled with relativity, and considering the reaction to the album on this forum, I wouldn't say most of people over here considers it bad.

The posted I quoted from seemed to be coming with the conclusion that new and fresh should be considered good. I was simply stating that that is not always the case. Such as country singer Garth Brooks who had major success in the states and then tried to come up with some new "identity" which was just horrifying. It was a "new & fresh" concept that failed.
I will applaud someone for taking chances, but this was not well executed. Ayumi Hamasaki is a solo artist. If she wants to incorporate Timmy more in the future, she could go under a different name. A lot of artists around the world do things like that. Gwen Stefani is different from No Doubt for example.
I'm sure the overall reaction is positive due to many circumstances such as: taste, stanning/obsessing (such as the people who hear 3 second clips and at like its the best song ever created), a missing link in a music library. Just the same could be said for people not liking it, such as: not liking the direction, objective fandom, tacky man with large shoulders being feminine (can't deny the truth), or even people who just love to complain (not all despite an overwhelming accusation).
Like you said, its relative but the title for this thread is "Annoyed by Timmy...".
I think he did great work with BRILLANTE because he wasn't clear. The vocals he did added more of an instrument feel as opposed to poorly rhyming words, like he did in NaNaNa.
A lot of people got annoyed with Timbaland for always being in the songs he produced. A lot of people got annoyed with will.i.am for being in the songs he produced. Its natural. People want to see their favorite artists. Not some producer feeding their own ego (maybe not the case with Timmy).
He's really quite awkward. His dancing was stiff. He kept making that bizarre kissy face, probably thinks its sassy.
