i understand!!!! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
As i go over the songs on this album in my mind, i search for a misstep. a place on this album where she just horribly went wrong. and sadly, i can think of one. BUT THAT'S IT!

i love bold and delicious. the gospel choir, the thumping bass. easily my favorite song on here!

is this feeling love? is also very powerful and moving, love the guitar.

heaven. maybe one of her greatest ballads of all time.
will. the b-side to heaven is also awesome.

alterna. the guitars in the song are crazy good. it's so powerful.

i love crimminal. it's a great ballad.

heck, even the interludes rock. such a great album.

One Of Ayumi's Best Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
In my opinion this is a GREAT album... there are so many fun songs to listen too! I fell in love with this album the second that I heard it! Ayumi rocks it with " Is this Love?" ~ a total favorite of the album~ but she also has a lot of fun with " Bold And Delicious~ then kicks it off slowly with " Heaven" and I have to say that I didn't like Fairyland very much AT FIRST but I came to love it the more that I listened to the album the more the song grew on me!!
All in all the Album is great!!!!

 Improvement. Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
I must say this is an improvement compare to My Story. Ayu's voice has grown much deeper ever since... I'd say, RAINBOW album. When her voice was still higher pitched in her early career, I actually thought her "happy cute" voice was totally fine, but I do not prefer her using the voice she uses in Honey now that it's gone deeper.. Her voice felt like it began to lose power in a sense, but she regained that power again in (miss)understood. Although her vibrato is less consistent than her 2001 - 2003 era, it is still better than what she had in 2004. That's another reason why I really liked her 2005 releases throughout, because the songs really suit her current voice.

Overall, although it lacks a conceptual title, miss(understood) is an abundant album, mostly because of the strong singles.

My Favorite!! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I just love this album. Yeah...half of the songs we've heard but Ayu released A+ singles thoughout 05. I ove the diversity on the album; it doesn't leave bored at all. Ayu's vocals are absolutly perfect in every song and the lyrics are so touching. Ayumi just keeps getting better!

 Great album, great photo-book Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
The first impression - the cover is hideous and Ayu looks like a monkey :( bad bad... second impression - the "off my day" photobook... it has cool photos, it's funny, shows lots of cute and sexy Ayu... and the CD... if You already own all of 2005 singles You won't find much... this album seems more like a "single compilation" and not as a completely fresh and new album. The best of the new songs in my opinion are: "(miss)understood" and "rainy day". One more "minus" of this album - the booklet... it's printed on bad quality paper... I don't know why did they print the photobook on a cool glossy paper and the booklet itself on a worse quality one.

 GREAT Return to what she does best Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
I am officially once again in love with Ayu's music. Though it certainly has been an interesting trip she's taken us on from & all the way through to My Story, I had felt it was a little strained at times, and even hoped she would move away from doing so many ballad-style tracks. Well, she's now back to more of a pop-standard style, and it is everything I hoped. Of course, Ayu still manages to be unique while staying true to her pop mastery. This album is also particularly succesful because of the many different styles and tempos that she uses. All in all, this album marks a very good step forward from My Story, with much catchier tunes, and much more mastered technique. Some favorites on here were Bold & Delicious (I have no idea why some people have complained about the chorus- to me, it's just so much fun), STEP you (I've always been a sucker for Ayu's rapping ever since Fly High), Ladies Night (gotta love the electrofunk feel of this track), alterna, Will, and Beautiful Day. I have to say that Will really surprised me. I think this may be Ayu's best technical performance to date. The control of her voice on this particular track was more than I expected from her. Hope there's a remix album to follow, these songs seem like they could be remixed well.

 A More Matured Ayu... Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I recently reserved one of Ayu's Newest Album and Im so anticipated it to buy.
This album features a more matured Ayu than ever, & the lyrics is much more deeper and beautiful since she started her career.
I've noticed that most of the tracks in this album are more stylish compare to the older releases.
This album includes some of her Super-Smash hits like STEP you, Bold&Delicious (It describes Big Apple - New York), HEAVEN, fairyland, and so much more.
The Track #3 the one of the "Must-Listen" track because of Jpop/Techno mixture and its sounds great (^_^), but the PV of this track was scary and weird... it's one of Ayu's worst PV for her new album.
I didn't hear the rest of this album but I recommend you to buy this album with photobook because it is the best since MY STORY.

semi-good Customer Review Rated Bad 5 - 5 out of 10
some of the songs are pretty good, but it is not the best of her albums tho. If u r a big fan of Ayumi, you should get it, cox 2 different covers and photo albums are collectable.
