She broke the pattern (for the better). If I had been a fan during uncontrolled I would have been a bit pissed over the album tracklist.
If the singles were not included in Uncontroled I would have been quite annoyed, I love those singles so much (though the album versions of YEAH-OH and Go Round are not as good imo, but the album version of Break it is awesome), just as I'm still annoyed with _genic because the singles were good but she substituted them with generic Engrish songs...

On the other hand, Birthday's PV looks super cute

The truth is that I know I'll end up liking the album anyway, because it's Namie and, even if I don't like what she releases at first, I know I'll listen to it again and again until I do... Or she'll make me like the songs when she performs them live, like happened with a couple of the songs from FEEL that I started liking after watching the tour. When it comes to Namie, I'm doomed to end up linking whatever it is she releases, but I miss the time I used to love her albums from the first listen...

I agree with you.

It doesn't help that Namie takes forever to release something new, and when she does, that's all were getting for the rest of the year. So we kinda have to, like it in a way

I actually think that this is one of the things that helps to keep her up.
Releasing slower gives her the advantage of anticipation and less people lose interest in her fast that way. This strategy doesn't work for anyone but it seems that it does wonders for namie. If she would release more albums per year her drops might have been faster and people might have been getting tired of her more quickly (excluding best albums of course but too many would hurt as well).

You clearly are not a fan of Utada Hikaru. That girl takes forever hahaha

In my opinion Namie releases things pretty fast (not as fast as Koda Kumi, but that's just ridiculous)

EDIT:

God, Stranger is everything I wanted it to be
