Ayus music today sounds more "dated" than her entire discography

I think you're all looking through nostalgia goggles and need to deal

I Am... sounds dated? For me LOVE again is seriously dated. Notice how I mentioned the more recent albums could be inserted AFTER LOVEppears, making that and a song for the most dated of her discog... RAINBOW is pretty dated too though if you wanna mention that. WE WISH, July 1st, and Real Me all have a specific aura that screams that time period.

I think there are elements in the arrangements on that album that are a bit early 00's jpoppy or that were trendy...but definitely not like what everything else sounded like then. And it's mainly only because of how electro and synthy the tracks are.


Damn she was awesome that year.

True. It's that "hip" dj-scratch sound effect that is really used a lot and was trendy around that time. RAINBOW is much more dated sounding than many of her millennial album releases. The evolution between that and Memorial address is remarkable to be honest. I enjoy RAINBOW but it's there's certainly a time and place for that album more so than other albums. I truly have to be in the mood for that cd, and it doesn't make my rotation very often as it doesn't translate well to current date for me. It's somewhat cheesy.

Done reading. Now, to sum things up:

"A Song for XX" and "LOVEppears" suffer from a very dated early/mid 90ies pop sound and badly aged electro influences, "I am..." contains a lot of cheesy, incoherent singles and gets even worse towards the last tracks let alone the monstrosity they've done with "Endless sorrow", "RAINBOW" is the impersonation of people's hatred and barely anyone is able to recall its existence, "Memorial address" would have better come out as full sized studio album, "MY STORY" is way too long, people fall asleep listening to it and it contains a bunch of the blandest songs ever, "Secret" and "LOVE again" are mere compilations of neglected, partially off-sounding leftovers and "FIVE" is only good for "progress" and "BRILLANTE".

This thread literally just ruined everything I've ever dared to believe in...

I forget LOVE again exists, so I'll give you that.
And lol, for someone who has IMO as a signature, you really should look into reigning that hostility -its really unbecoming.
