 You will not be disappointed Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This is my very first album I've ever bought in my life. Of course it had to be BoA since she is my number 1 artist. When I first received, I ripped it with Windows Media Player at the highest quality in mp3 format and as soon as I played the first track, my face was so gobsmacked. The tracks are stunning and had lots of my previous loved songs from her singles.

I really love BoAs new transformation since her style of music is changing and is getting more and more appealing to me.

This version provides a 4 Music Video DVD containing Sweet Impact, Love Letter, Lose Your Mind and Be With You all from her last 4 singles. The quality is really good and of course the Music Videos are really nice, especially the last/recent MV of Be With You. Such a sweet and smoothing song/video.

Get it while stocks last because you really will not be disappointed at all, top notch work from BoA and Avex.

 Very Good, But... Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
Music CD - OK, the album CD itself is positively excellent with the small exception of the limited edition bonus track "Hey Boy Hey Girl". It's a decently good song, but SEAMO's rapping can get to be too much, and give me a headache. Despite there's also some rapping sorta thing from WISE. I know it's not exactly that, but I'm not sure what to call it in the song "My Way, Your Way" it's actually fitting for the song. Honestly, some of my favorite songs on here are "be with you", "Happy Birthday", "Diamond Heart" and "LOVE LETTER".

First DVD - Well, this DVD isn't bad, but the Sweet Impact PV is slightly redundant, but still nice to watch. And then the LOVE LETTER PV can be a little boring. It needed more to it if you ask me. The other 2 PV's are really good. Then the BoA TV and The Face thing. They're both very interesting and I enjoy them very much, but I think people who speak Japanese fluently or at least have a good understanding of it will enjoy these the most. I am not fluent, but have learned alot so there's not much I can't understand.

Second DVD - Now here's the part of this album which dissapointed me. At first I heard that the "BoA X'mas Live" was going to be on here which is what made me preorder this version elsewhere right away over a month ago. And well, I'm dissapointed how it changed. The DVD has 8 performances from X'mas Live, 4 from Made In Twenty Tour, 1 from "M-flo Tour Cosmicolor" and 3 from Rhythm Nation 2007. Now, these can be good and they can't be. And I don't mean the performances. I already have the Made In Twenty Tour double DVD set, so that's 4 useless performances to me on this DVD. And then I already preordered the Rhythm Nation 2007 DVD and for alot more than the BoA performances, so that's 3 more performances which I don't need in the long run. It will give me a preview of the entire thing til my preorder DVD arrives though. And then the BoA Live X'mas is absolutely excellent... Well, whats here anyways, so you might as well order the full concert separately. In my personal opinion, I think she should've put the entire X'mas Live on here and maybe the M-Flo Tour Cosmicolor performance of The Love Bug on here as a bonus. Still, all the performances on this DVD are really excellent, and until I get my Rhythm Nation 2007 and X'mas Live DVDs these will keep me busy with a preview of them which is really enjoyable.
Cover And Designs(Pictures) - Well, the cover is quite different from anything in the past but I really like it, and the pictures inside are really nice. I love them all. The soft blue reminds me of what the sky looks like during the summer.

So on the whole, this is a really good album, but if you have or are going to order any of the stuff on the second DVD it's probably best to get the CD+1DVD version.

 Good but not perfect Customer Review Rated Bad 7 - 7 out of 10
To me : MADE IN TWENTY (20) singles >>> THE FACE singles and THE FACE non-single tracks = MADE IN TWENTY (20) non-single tracks. This doesn't mean that I don't like ''Sweet Impact'', ''LOVE LETTER'', ''LOSE YOUR MIND'' and ''be with you.'' but ''Nanairo no Ashita'', ''Your Color'' and ''Winter Love'' are way better (I exclude ''KEY OF HEART'' 'cause it's a mediocre song). For the non-single tracks there are some really good like ''AGGRESSIVE'', ''BRAVE'' and ''Style'' then ''Diamond Heart'' and ''Beautiful Flowers'' are more than ok but the rest of the album is really bad. As a whole : 7/10.

 The Face! A look into who BoA Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This BoA's best Japanese work. Here she is giving us a look into who she really is. This album shows how much she has grown over these last years. It's definatly better than her made in 20 album. The title is very fitting since all the songs are so personal. At first people were afraid of the title, but now they realize it is very fitting. I look forward to BoA's future success with this and many more albums. Congrats BoA on a top quality album.

Wonderful album!!! Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
I'll review CD+2DVDs once I get my copy, but for right now...I will review CD only since I have just heard every song.

AGRESSIVE is a very agressive upbeat song with loads of techno. It's really fun and caught my attention right off. n_n I love it alot!!

My Way, Your Way feat. WISE is one of my most favorite songs by BoA ever. Both BoA and WISE sound really good and the melody is beautiful.

Girl In The Mirror is a very cool, very catchy dance number. It's one of my most favorite tracks from the album. ^.^

Happy Birthday is extremely cute and sweet, but is it me..or does BoA's English get worse with every release! XP It sounds really bad on the English parts, but everything else is good. It is forgettable, however, compared to other tracks.

BRAVE really surprised me. I've never heard this style from BoA and I hope she experiments with it more in the future. I love this rockish edge..it's actually very fitting for BoA's voice. Before hearing it, I could never imagine soft rock from BoA...but it worked!!!!! n_n This is also one of my most favorite songs from BoA ever.

Gap ni Yarareta! is the worst track from the album and one of BoA's worst works ever. The melody is terrible and doesn't blend with BoA's vocals at all until the chorus. It sounds like a sick record player on verses. This is the one track I think they should've cut.

Style makes up for the previous track's disappointment. Very cool, sexy dance song! ^0^-V

Best Friend is pretty good, but once again...terrible English accent which kind of kills the vibe a bit. It is a great song though with a nice mid-tempo rythmn.

Hey Girl, Hey Boy feat. BoA is the best upbeat song on the album to me...so why was it featured as a bonus track on the CD+2DVD version only?! It's very fun and the guy vocalist/rapper is extremely good too.

All the single tracks are very enjoyable, but I found the most beautiful ballad from the album to be "Smile again"! I don't understand why this song didn't recieve much attention. BoA shows her range alot on it and her tone is undeniably beautiful!! "Lose Your Mind" has grown on me, but it's not BoA's best work...it is very different to her usual dance songs though. "Sweet Impact" and the "LOVE LETTER" b-sides are also VERY GOOD as well as "LOVE LETTER" itself. n_n-V

KUDOS to the cover artwork as well! BoA looks gorgeous...but I wish the CD+DVD cover was for the CD+2DVD edition instead. >_< It's my favorite one!

This album is a step up from MiT and I think fans will respond more. It has a wide variety of styles...Urban Hip Hop, Ballad, Mid-Tempo, Dance-y Pop, and even Rock! ^.^ I find myself listening to it ALOT more than her "Outgrow" album and even more than "Made In Twenty"!! Why does the description for the album say it say 13 tracks??? It has 15 + the bonus CD+2DVD track. oh well! I hope BoA tops the Oricon charts with this album!!!!!!!
