Most of them are pretty good, some even praising her lyrics^^
There are a lot of Exodus interviews there too... That's why I'm questioning myself about the intention of being humorous, even if I still do get this feeling from her lyrics... nothing wrong about that IMO, 80s Madonna had a humourous aproach to a number of topics too, and a good part of those songs are pop classics today. It may be a interview done in the time Exodus was released on the UK (it was one year later +-? I remember she got new reviews and interviews back them)
I also don't agree that thinking Ayu's fandom lacks sense of humour makes me prententious or anything, but I do agree I can be pretty prententious a lot of times  |
Devil inside's arrangement reminds me of NIN's Pretty hate machine and Bjork's Post, all pre 2000, so it didn't sound totally new to my ears, but the koto sound was cool and definitely unique to it. (interestingly, I think she's a NIN fan herself)
Thanks for the link to the reviews. I see most of the reviews praising the production and many questioning the lyrics, like TiTO, but I think that Exodus musically is much more progressive than TiTO thus the positivity in the reviews.
And that was pretty pretentious and presumptuous. Funny how you always harp on people using their opinions as fact but have no problem doing the same lol
