The new album isn`t even out yet, just saying.
And I personally don`t see the new stuff as boring.
I do understand why people maybe don`t like the singles. She did take a step closer to western influences again. Less JPop like. That might be a reason for some older fans. Or maybe you`re just tired of her.
Also do have artists always to progress? I don`t see it bad to stay with something they like and do good.

Actually, for me, the album stuff looks amazing so
far. Better than Japonesque, which was a good album, but lacks something for me, as an album. This new one seems to be very consistent in sound at least.

And a funny sidenote... people over on JPC are mostly positive so far. And they`re mostly harsher and more critical than here. Or they`re just waiting for the full album. Lol.
