I created a thread as well, no problem.

I listened to the previews from cdjapan and OHH MYY GOOOOD W FACE -outside- is her best album ever!!! I'm AMAZED I'm thinking to not download the album and wait till I receive my copy, but I have to wait longer, like 2 weeks or more, I hope the delivery will be earlier u.U

Heartless: is great, I don't like her voice in the chorus but the verses are great.
Bassline: is fire.
Damn real: the verses are great but the chorus is a bit weird for my taste.
Insane: is pop rock/edm/dubstep/r&b.
W FACE: is fire, that male voices are cool as hell, is the best track of the album with Shhh!.

Stand by you: reminds me to other kuu ballads mixed in one song.
Kimi Omoi: I only give it one listen to it when it was released but is good.
On my way: I like the chorus, is fantastic.
Promise you: great, a very good track.
My fun: I'm very surprised, is a calm and soft song, that kids on the background sounds weird but well, I didn't listen the chorus but the prechorus looks great.

For me the -outside- side wins, but the -inside- side have great songs. I don't like too much Bring It On and What's Up, is the typical kuu rock songs and doesn't sound good, I like LALALALALA more than this two tracks.

Overall the two sides album are great and better then WALK OF MY LIFE, miles away BETTER, but WALK OF MY LIFE have some gems, anyway, and miles away from Bon Voyage, JAPONESQUE, Dejavu, Universe, Trick, Black Cherry. The only ones good as hell like this albums are BEST ~second session~ and Kingdom

Chara is doing the background vocals for My fun! This is clearly a Chara song, for sure.

I'm completely in love with Heartless, already one of my favorites in years. ♥

You should use Format Factory to convert the files to any file specs you want

That's what I do all the time . I don't like 320kpbs as the file size is too huge (no way I can have everything HQ in my tablet that has limited space capacity)

That said , thanks to all who uploaded both joint albums , I look forward to hear all the songs and for once , no opening + interludes

[thinkingoutloud89]

outside >>>>> inside by far
I only like BRIDGET'S SONG, On My Way and Kimi Omoi form inside.
I appreciate My fun, promise you and maybe suki deshite. The rest is a snooze after the first listen.

You made my day - THANK YOU!

I had a lot of positive thoughts just from listening Amazon previews but after giving a fast listening to the full thing I have to say I'M LOVING' IT (except "Cupcake" which is just...). Some tracks sounds like "old-Kuu", other continue "modern" direction started by WOML and few giving us some fresh sound (I could say "experimental").

I will return to ~outside~ more often because in general I'm not that big fan of ballads and mid-tempos.

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed after a long day at school

[kaled kalil]

I'm reading the booklet now and surprise: Some of the "special vocals" for My fun are from Kuu's son!

Aw man, that's adorable.

[AyuHamasaki01]

I loved all the previews but listening to the full album... it's not doing anything for me. It feels like something is missing?

It's not what I expected. To be honest, I'm kinda dissapointed.

[thinkingoutloud89]

really? I'm pleasantly surprised. I expected it to be more noisy.

[Gustavopc]

OUTSIDE IS AMAZING!
There's not a track I'd skip, even Ultraviolet which imo is the weakest track there, and it flows so well. I love how it starts all badass and turns into jazzy and ends in trap again.
Now to inside

Yes. It feels like something's missing for me.

Maybe I just need to listen the songs a few times

[KarenPang]

I thought I was going to be bored with what W FACE ~inside~ had to offer but there were still some pleasant surprises

The song credits for My Fun which Kaled posted , it's real sweet that Kuu's son is credited for doing the background vocals with others

I still wished Yorokobi no Kakera had a PV made though =(

As for W FACE ~outside~ , Insane is awesome & is it me or did Kuu said the F word in the song ?

I really like Heartless , I seldom get emotional if I heard a song for the 1st time but Heartless stuck a chord in me

And W FACE literally slays . Just like Yorokobi no Kakera , it would have been nice if Kuu made a PV for it =x

Cupcake freaks me out cos I heard cat meowing sounds in the background ? o_O O_o

At the end of the day I like W FACE ~outside~ more than W FACE ~inside~ but for Kuu to do something like this , you get to pick what music side of her you prefer , instead of nitpicking/skipping songs as sound consistency was the main problem I had with her past albums (except for WALK OF MY LIFE)
