I didn't know that so many people didn't like Uncontrolled, for me is up there with FEEL and PLAY

Uncontrolled > FEEL >>>>>> _genic

P<F is great and PLAY sounds quite dated

that's because PLAY is quite dated it was released nearly 10 years ago. But, to me, it still holds up as one of her best albums. I still listen to every track minus Should I Love Him and Hello (I used to love that song but I listened to it too much and now can't stand the sound of WAIT FOR THE BEEP AND DO YOUR THING. Ugh.) I mean, the fact she still performs half these songs at concerts says a lot. Funky Town. Hide & Seek. Top Secret. Violet Sauce. I remember Full Moon at a more recent one though I can't remember which. I personally really wish she'd perform Baby Don't Cry more. When was the last time she performed that? O.o

I rarely listen to Uncontrolled. I love Yeah-Oh and Go Round but the single versions are better.
Feel and _genic are miles better for me.

Uncontrolled is one of my least favorite albums from her and it's weird because individually there are some awesome tracks on there. But I didn't like the new versions of the singles and Hot Girls, Sit stay etc., let's go, were just so-so.

PLAY I also feel in general is just so-so and overall a bit overrated. For Post 2007 albums, I rank them Feel>P/F>>>>_genic>>PLAY>>>>>>>>Uncontrolled.

^ Pretty much how I feel except trade PLAY with _genic and that list would be perfect

I'd have to say that the one Namie album I saw the most copies of in all resale stores in Japan was Uncontrolled. I was tempted to say the least but other than Naked and Yeah-oh I really hate that album lol

I adore PAST/FUTURE it's a shame COPY THAT wasn't a single.

I don't listen to Uncontrolled anymore, and I do think it was a bad choice rearranging the singles. Break It for instance lost a lot of its punch from the single version.

But well, Break It and Go Round are still on my playlist.

Actually Past<Future and Uncontrolled are my favourite albums by her. A golden era for me. Before and after I just like certain songs from albums and singles.

PLAYs only weak point to me is Step with it tbqh
Its still an timeless album...I rather call it old school than dated, but she does a good thing keeping them updated in her lives.

So will there be a new song for this Christmas thing?

aaah! That was the word(s) I was trying to think of when replying to that earlier quote. It's been driving me insane all day. Yes, PLAY is definitely old school...

...though I can still remember it clearly being released. Oh God, I'm only 23 and already part of the old school era.

^ she did pull off that look damn good. Stylish/sexy/mature without overdoing any of it. Perfect combo.

PS -- I have to watch your sig like 10 times every time you post because her hair her hair her hair her freaking hair is so pretty xD

Uncontrolled was a weird album but I enjoy it. Get Myself Back is one of my favorite Namie songs. FEEL is still the best though.
