I was really disappointed with the preview, but after seeing the PVs, and hearing more of the songs I'm actually really looking forward to this album.
Also, I don't know if anyone else has posted this but there's a rumor that she's preparing for (or at least considering) a US debut. Personally I really hope she does because her last few albums have been amazing, but I do worry about her English. Accents are fine (Shakira made it work for her), but Japanese language artists definitely have a much bigger hurdle to overcome than most when it comes to English, and I don't think Namie is anywhere new ready yet.

(Though I will say Namie's style of music definitely seems popular in the US right now so I think she's got a better shot than most)
