BLUE sold less. If I remember correctly it debuted around #70 in its first week. So this is good for him.
PURE is a good album for me.
After many listens now I can say it's a more....extreme album, in the sense that there are songs I totally dislike and songs I absolutely love. BLUE was better balanced.
But PURE has more songs I love than BLUE, so it already has a special place in my heart.
BLUE is more enjoyable as a whole with almost only decent tracks and 3 songs I absolutely adore (Sora feat. Salu, ONE and FREER).
I hope it's understandable what I mean.
