The best album in my whole lifetime!
|
This album is simply stunning. I love it.I don't think that there is something that's missing in it at all. From great package (covers,booklet,CD & DVD,inserts)to awesome and stunning tracks ever! This was my first album ever,and I still don't regret buying it! It's completely polished from beginning to end,having the first 5 tracks as rock songs,and then turning to 2 sad ballads and 1 mysterious song + interlude,and after that 2 awesome happy pop-ish songs,and for an end,a beautiful personal ballad. You can completely enjoy this album because it offers lots of variant moods and feelings. You have to buy it,it's something so briliant! |

GUILTY CD+DVD review.
|
I really like this album and it's the first album from Ayumi that I ordered. GUILTY is a more "rock-ish" album if you compare it with her other albums. GUILTY also includes the single talkin' 2 myself, glitter/fated and her first digital single Together When... . If you buy this album I really recomment to listen to (don't) Leave me alone and Marionette. My favorite videoclip on this album is Marionette. |

OK
OK
| I think its safe to say that this is Ayumi`s weakest CD to date. The songs just don`t have the trademark Ayumi brilliance. If you play 'Secret' & her best CD 'My Story' right after listening to this, you realise how poor 'Guilty' is. Shame really. Lets hope her next CD gets back on track. |

GUILTY of yet another Success!
GUILTY of yet another Success!
|
First of all, I am a loyal Ayu fan. I have followed her music since 1999, and as such, her music has been a part of various stages of my life. She is incredibly original and has a whimsical, fantasy-like nature about her. Her numerous videos and photo shoots will tell you this. Through all the years, I have always enjoyed her more edgier songs that had a more rock sound. I think she excels in this area because she captures emotion, power and it suits her vocals nicely. GUILTY really delivers more songs that have a rock-sound to it, and I have been waiting for this! Each album always has 1 or 2 rock songs, but this one delivers more! But what I really like about Ayu is that each album has variety to it, meaning, you will get a couple songs with a dance beat, a couple ballads, a couple rock song and amazing musical interludes. This is her formula for success, and it works well. By constantly, and consistently, applying this formula, she keeps a lot of fans on-board. Some may not like her rock songs, but they love her pop songs, and vice versa. I happen to fall under the blanket of ALL genres, because I like variety. And no one can pull this off more exceptionally than Ayu!! I don't really have any complaints, but I would have liked Mirror to have been a full length song. It just ROCKS. Sets the mood for the album and nicely transitions into the next song, but still, coulda been longer. Ayu, if you are reading this, you need to make some of your rock songs longer. (Like flower garden, hidden track on a previous album). Also, I would have liked 1 or 2 more new tracks. But this is not really anyone's fault except for AVEX....they push out her singles all year to make money, but by the time we get the album, as much as we love those songs, it is not "new" to the loyal fans. So we feel like we are only getting an album with 5 songs. But, I have to admit, going a year without any new music from Ayu would send me to the looney bin. On a non-musical note, I love her short hair!!! Takes me back to her days of Evolution. Usually I think woman only look great and sexy with longish hair, but Ayu somehow can pull off any style, any hair colour...amazing. Love the short hair tousled. Sexy! The bottom-line: GUILTY is simply GUILTY of not having more "new" tracks. If you like rock music, this album is great. Will also make a great album to later remix as TRANCE or something. If you just like or love Ayu, I dont think you will be disappointed in this album. It has a more mature sound. Ayu's voice has matured too and she is not trying to hit notes that she shouldn't hit anymore (like her early days). |

I'm always hearing people say they want Ayu to do something different...but if she does something so-called "different", it wouldn't be Ayu, now would it? That's the reason for VARIETY, so when u feel like hearing something different, you listen to another artist and stop criticizing Ayu for being herself & doing her own thing. Ayumi Hamasaki does what she wants and writes the words that she's feeling at that point in her life. Every Ayu work is different and every one is special in its own way. "GUILTY" is no exception. This album is filled with wonderful rock songs that alot of fans have wanted for awhile now...but how come when they get what they want, it's still not good enough? "(don't) Leave Me Alone" and "Marionette" are probably two of her best songs she has ever done for an album yet not the best PVs. "Together When..." is one of Ayu's most unique and special ballads in a long while. "MY ALL" didn't give me the feeling I heard it before at all so I think it's wrong to speak for everyone else in your review and say it does. "Untitled ~for her~" is extremely sweet and it's cruel to insult because Ayu did write it for her friend who passed away recently; have a heart when it comes to this song. "GUILTY" is pretty good, but I'm not too found of the repetive chorus. Indeed there are too many preludes for my liking, but oh well. I did long for more new tracks, but that's what's so great about Ayu; she leaves u wanting more. If she gave you everything you wanted in one album, then what's the point of buying any other albums? |

Still Rockin' After 10 Years!
Still Rockin' After 10 Years!

The news that Ayu has gone completely deaf in one ear makes her latest album Guilty a bit of a sad listen. Love her or hate her, there's no denying the sheer impact she's had not just on Japan's music scene, but on Japanese popular culture in general. For someone like Ayu whose life is intimately tied to creating music, the loss of hearing is an absolute tragedy. That she has decided to go on with her music speaks volumes about her dedication to her career and about her appreciation to her millions of fans. So does this album get by on sympathy alone? Not at all! Contrary to other reviews that Ayu is "guilty" of not caring enough about her fans with respect to her musical compositions, the variety of tracks on the album make it one of her standout releases. From rock tracks such as "(don't) Leave me alone" to dark ballads such as "Marionette" to more upbeat pop/rock tracks such as "Glitter" and "MY ALL", there's no denying the amount of hard work and dedication that went into creating this album. Furthermore, to imply that she doesn't care enough about her fans in any way is ridiculous when you consider that she has released countless albums and singles and embarked on a number of massive tours at the expense of her own hearing. The album's musical interludes (some of her best yet, especially "Mirror" and "The Judgement Day") are ever present and serve again to section the album by theme. Listening to the entire album, there's no doubt that a lot of care goes into the track selection and track order. Guilty is yet another quality release from the Queen of Japanese popular music. While containing a different style and mood compared to previous albums, it still maintains her unparalleled sense of what makes good music - well written lyrics set to engaging music that speak to audiences. Highly recommended overall, and great for those who are sick of Ayu's oversexed contemporaries. |

Great.
| Ayu's new album is as depressing as ever (the lyrics, I mean) but then it is more meaningful as well. The team that writes the music for her is better than ever too. This album is filled with great songs. The only depressing thing about this album is there is only six new songs because the others are released as SINGLES and I already have them all. If you include the songs that you have heard from the PVs, then this album only has four new songs. But then, if you like the singles, then that's all that matters. |
