But she succeed with her american album!
It sold a lot in Japan, to start with.
I don't think EXODUS was crap, the only problem I have with the album was her shaking/trembling voice, as if she were scared/insecure to sing the songs in english. But the rrangements and compositions were rich. However, the remixes of Exodus '04 weren't really that impressive in my opinion. They can't even be compared to the "Richard Vission" fantastic and awasome remixes of devil inside.
