August 30, 2006 Excellent album!!!
This album is clearly one of the great albums out there. Each song is introspective and lyrically touching. The album is mostly accoustic, which helps hone the viewer in on her incredibly rich voice. There really isn't a bad song out there, with Decay and Life is a Boat her best pieces. She has the talent to break thru to the West, but it will take creative marketing to accomplish such a feat.

ROSE ALBUM (Normal Edition)(Japan Version)
August 29, 2006 A new muscial direction,The Rose Album moves Rie Fu in a new musical direction. Whereas the 2005 self-titled Album was featued simple melodies and love-related themes, Rose Album is more diverse in sound as well as lyrical topic.
The Rose Album has Rie Fu with several english-only songs that may or may not work with fans. In addition, "5 minutes" and "funny dream" are both quirky, overproduced pieces that are a departure from Rie Fu's signature acoustic sound. Nonetheless, there are some gems like "Conversation" and "ROSE". Track 9 "Kiss You Goodbye" has a very Country-Western sound to it unlike any other Rie Fu song. Overall, the album is more lively, with more english lyrics. I had no problem with that since I know 0% Japanese, but I could understand why certain people would be bothered by it. Overall, an excellent album compared to most J-pop and HK-pop fluff.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)
