TODAY newspaper album review of GUILTY

I found this in today's issue of TODAY which's a free newspaper available in the morning & afternoon in S'pore & a writer Christopher Toh reviewed it .

In fact I was very surprised when I saw Chris's take on GUILTY cos usually TODAY would review albums done by local bands , international acts & chinese acts . GUILTY's the only Japanese album that was reviewed in today's TODAY & possibly the 1st J pop album that Chris reviewed & talked about , so far .

The review :

"She may have gone deaf in 1 ear but that hasn't stopped her doing what she does best - releasing some of the catchiest , poppiest music from the Land Of The Rising Sun (that's Japan , genius) .

On her 9th studio album , ayumi shows why she's still regarded as 1 of Japan's premier singers - her raw emotion flows not only on ballads like fated & Together When ... but also on songs like the drama-rock tune Mirror & the upbeat title track .

This is one album that you can listen to repeatedly without getting bored .

Also available is the CD + DVD version which includes 5 music videos & their respective 'making of' features , as well as Distance Love , a short flim featuring Hong Kong actor Shawn Yue .

4/5 "

pretty good positive I say ! I like the fact that Christopher's not biased in his review . Could tell that he's an ayumi fan which's good !

email Christopher at christophertoh@mediacorp.com.sg to thank him if you like to .

Bless him. I like the review and find it correct. (He should talk about the rock but it's fine).

I really agree with this guy of this review. GUILTY has done well, and that's cool. Nice points too. And I agree that GUILTY is full of emotions in those songs and that's makes shivers go down my spine when I listen to Mirror and GUILTY. But hey, that's just good. <3 And I haven't got bored on the album yet. ^_^

haha nice one . At least this time round , Christopher Toh's doing the reviewing work for albums . I never like Zul Othman's take when comes to him reviewing albums though . Thank god Zul stopped doing that or else I'm gonna kick his ass .

Okay haha the review's kinda short... you didn't shorten it right? But still, nice to see that someone else appreciates GUILTY too.

no I didn't shorten nor edit anything . That's the real McCoy . It's short yes I have to agree but there were other albums that Christopher reviewed in addition to GUILTY so you have to understand .
