RULE is indeed noisy.

as for TRICK, i think it should be TABOO, that pv had people turning off too, i had actually heard a one word comment 'gross' or 'disgusting' before.

nice find.
i agree that the review is so-so and kinda ignorant, i mean how can you actually compare a single to an album

but more and less it's OK.

Spoiler:

am i the only one confused about the newspaper in singapore being in english???

there's a section called Life in The Straits Times in S'pore

that's what I got the article from & from there I scanned it up

[Kazeyomi]

Nu metal? So I guess that makes Dir en Grey a pop band too!

LOL!

I agree, the reviewer seems lazy..?

[extepan]

thanks for the scan, but i don't like this review

[PinkShinigami]

C'mon, Kodas best album sale is like Ayus debut album.. DEBUT

I don't like when the mags and so talk like this about Ayu, like Koda, Namie and so on has "taken" her sales - They aren't even nearly her best sales.. I know Ayu is missing popularity, but seriously..

[sailorseraphim]

ummm at least she got a mention, even if it wasnt tht gr8.....

[f1rz3n_0028]

This guy seems lazy with his rating, and I agree with other people, the person who wrote this is ignorant! (-_-)

thx anyways

[chloeM]

oh me too... i have to agree on that one, what pommy said~

[ayu_fantasy]

Hey, they couldn't compare a single with an album!

It just isn't fair!

Anyhow, I'd like to believe that the combined forces of AyuKodaUtada rules the Jpop society against other musics. XD

[asmAyumi1992]

Wow it's a rare if Ayu in the newspaper in my country.

[vampireknightzero]

thanks for sharing, i guess i missed the article. actually didn't like what the reviewer wrote as mentioned by everyone else here

[rakeru]

why does every album have the same rating? T_T
at least she's mentioned, though. promotion is gooooood.

[RikkuChii]

..Wow..

..the person who wrote this..was a little off.

[noidea]

How can Rule/Sparkle(great single) and TITO(so horrible lyrics, short and TOO mainstream, only 1 song stands out to me...) have the same rating? Also, the reviewer doesnt even write which Rule/Sparkle version was reviewed, they have different tracklists after all

I loled at all the 3,5 stars, I thought my eyes were playing a TRICK on me(another disappointing album that got the same rating, TABOO is great, but TRICK as a whole...)

100% true about Under & TABOO. And she looks much more sexier on the CD Only cover IMO. But I think clowns looks very sexy for some people. Yep.

[KarenPang]

lol I frankly wrote much much better reviews in my music blog pertaining to Rule / Sparkle , TRICK & also This Is The One as compared to this

[Tony G]

lol @ nu metal.
