LOVE again vs. FEEL

[progress]

My vote goes to LOVE again. I mean, FEEL is just a generic album with pop tunes everyone is able to do in the industry. I seriously can't understand all the praise, to me it just sounds boring and uninteresting. LOVE again had the 'singles-turned-mini-albums' problem, but it's very solid, with excellent tracks and overall cohesive but not boring.

LOVE again is my absolutely least favorite Ayu album and FEEL is my absolute least favorite Namie album. I can't even vote because I think they're both horrendously bad. But I will give props to Namie's FEEL because the packaging is gorgeous and it's a very cohesive album.

6 VS 7

LOVE again is a hit'n'miss for me. It contains some of the best songs by Ayu in the last years for me, but the are others that are really forgettable. Namie's on the other hand, is really balanced.

LOVE again

I actually don't care for either album. I love Sweet Scar, but that's the only song I really like on LOVE again, whereas I like both Alive and Big Boys Cry on Feel. So, Feel gets my vote

Gonna listen to Sweet Scar now...

(Didn't know LMLYG was a full english song till I check the lyrics >.<)

On the other hand, Love again do have a lot of songs which I wouldn't get sick of hearing them again and again. Tracks like Wake me up, Song 4 u, Missing, SAKURA, Bye-bye darling, Melody and Ivy...

^ same here. LOVE AGAIN for me.

LOVE again.
It's not one of my favourite Ayu albums, the single songs are pretty weak for me, but most of the album songs are strong!
With FEEL I just kept 3 songs. Album production is great, but it felt lifeless in most songs. I like her previous albums better.

FEEL without a doubt

[Yum!Fruit_Salad!]

FEEL all the way

FEEL, I can jam out to that all day everyday.

After finally listening to LOVE again a couple times, I say FEEL. Better produced, catchier, a little more interesting and much easier to digest. Although "Sweet scar" is godly.

LOVE again

Even though Feel is winning, I always felt like these polls were unfair considering we're on an Ayumi Hamasaki forum.

I choose feel. Lalala, Alive, and Stardust in my eyes. Those three songs alone are better than the entire Love again rehash album.

FEEL... For the first year it came out, I listened to it constantly.

[JackieRos]

OOOOH late to the poll but FEEL is amazing.

I love FEEL, but LOVE again is ayu, and I'm biased...
