Ok, artical.... the lady made it seemed like nothing was good about Exodus, personally,i loved it last part was a little harsh

nervous, pretty singer??? ok, i admit that it wasnt Hikki`s best but cut her some slack...she`s nervous. But she really needs to see some of Hikki`s past performances, she`ll be blown away

If you've seen the performances from Utada on the morning news shows, I don't see the pop starlet who's sold millions of albums in Japan. Instead I see a nervous, pretty singer who hasn't commanded the art of performing effectively to an audience. If I'm already a fan and I'm not truly enamored with your performance, can someone who isn't currently a fan be won over?

I hear you on that one. First time i heard it, i almost peed myself. ...I let some other friends hear it and when their reactions weren't as enthusiastic as mine... eheh, well... u_u;
I don't know.. I'm personally obsessed with this new album. I love all the songs. I could just eat it all up if it were edible. I mean, i'm really open to what she has to offer and i'm just accepting what it is. I don't really care if it's a little different from her other stuff -- am i biased? :'D;

That was a good article. She said a lot of the things i would have initially said deep inside. Very honest. Reminds me of my sister...

Very good point. Although there were some small bad comments, it was overall a good article. Other articles stated comments that were biased and talked about 'facts' that weren't liable at all. At least with this article, the writer seems to know her sh*t.

this article was a lot better than some of the other's i've had the displeasure (is that a word?) to read. the only problem i had with it was how she was "cringing" at the lyrics. i only had a problem with the "tight jeans/no panties on" thing in "Poppin'."
for me there were a few weak spots in TITO as i first listened to it, but overall i love the album to pieces.

Yeah. Her cringing is ... well, I think it could've been left out because it's really more her personal experience. It wasn't necessary because it doesn't particularly give the audience anything but something negative and anyone else could have a different reaction to the lyrics. i.e., Unlike Eni-san here, I had more of a problem with "Dirty Desire" more than "tight jeans /no panties on /oops did i turn you on" in "Poppin'." In fact, my first reaction to Poppin' was a bunch of "HAHAHA THAT'S SO FUNNY ARE YOU SERIOUS LOLZ". "Dirty Desire" had me a bit more flustered.
Aaanyway, yes yes, overall this article was a lot less stupid than others and at least she knew what she was talking about. It's not like she made statements based off on assumptions and half baked research like the other reviewers. :3 I'd call this a good article just because this person was intelligent about it.
