I can't really listen to anything Pre-ULTRA BLUE. I have some of the albums, but I don't think they are anything worth listening too. Lol. Sorry! I just love the type of style she has in both ULTRA BLUE and HEART STATION.

I thought that as well when I first became a fan during the ULTRA BLUE era. I actually just bought DEEP RIVER not too long ago, and I have to say it surprised me! the visual style might not seem anything like UB and HS, but some of the songs already follow a similar style!
Like: Sakura DROPS, traveling, Deep River, A.S.A.P (kinda), Final Distance, HIKARI.

Also "Uso Mitai Na I Love You", but that one's in a completely different league (rock).

I'd suggest listening to the entire DEEP RIVER album just once unless ofc you already did that and you simply didn't like it

Well at least I'm not the only one and the 24th? Well that's good one less day to wait.

I hope everyone who lives in the US who bought a Japanese version buys the American version as well be it physical or digital...

You'd be correct in your assessment Omably.

Waiting for my Album. Hopefully it arrives next week, but at the latest I'll have it in 2 weeks.

Not even listening to the previews anymore.

I got my physical copy tonight. A couple of comments - there are no lyrics in the regular booklet, just song credits followed by a bunch of pictures of Utada. (The pictures are fun). For the Japanese press, there is an extra booklet with the English lyrics and their Japanese translations.

The album is kinda meh for me. I think I'd take The Workout over Automatic Part II, and that's saying something. Some of the tracks are pretty/catchy, but they aren't going to have long term replay value for me, I think. The lyrics really lack the substance of her other work. I really like apple & cinnamon, but that's about it. FYI is good, but I prefer the original Ryuichi Sakamoto song...

This all being said, I'm going to play it a couple more times and try to really digest it.

My album ranking:

Deep River > Ultra Blue > Heart Station > Distance > Exodus > First Love > This is the one

Really liked - On And On, Apple And Cinnamon and Dirty Desire.
Nice - This One (Crying Like A Child), Me Muero, Taking My Money Back.
I don't like - FYI, Come Back To Me, Poppin', Automatic part II - very dissapointed.

Overall this album has a few good songs but overall I don't like it and I will say it's one of hikki's weakest =\. Just couldn't get connected to most of it.
I will listen to the 3 I really liked a lot.
I liked EXODUS more.

I agree with everything you said and I would rank the songs the same except I would put Come Back To Me under "Nice".

but omg Taking My Money Back sounds like a Destiny's Child song from the 90's. Those DC songs were good so I suppose that is positive...plus it has been done a million times before. Massive disappointment compared to EXODUS.

WTF @ Automatic part deux. WTH was she thinking? Should've left that crap in the basement.

well at least lyrics wise it's much more PG rated fare unlike Exodus

The songs that I have listened on This Is The One are pretty good

Poppin's something that you either will like or dislike
