After a few good days of listening to Utopia on repeat almost 12 hours a day while editing photos, I have to say aside from 3 or 4 songs that really grabbed my attention, on first listen I was a bit sad (don't want to say disappointed, I didn't have expectations), but as I listened to it the second time around it wasn't bad.. especially when I gave into the fact that it was mostly ballad/slow songs. I think now after growing on me more, I really appreciate the tone of the album and that it is really relaxing, but as someone said sophisticated. If one song were to be cut from the album I think 永遠 would be the song to cut. I don't mind it, I don't hate it, but the whole.. what, the 50's(?) vibe/influence just doesn't fit the album. By itself though it reminds me of a Pizzicato Five song, just really toned down.

I read this and thought it was really fitting to the album, at least more so the rainy weather part. It really has that feel and I kind of wish it was raining while listening to this this album.
少女時代, Utopia, MOON, Triangle and Let Me In where my initial favorites from the album, probably listen to these tracks the most.
