Review title: a mediocre effort from an excellent singer
Product review: I am an Utada Hikaru fan, but I can't give this album a positive review just because I like her previous Japanese work.This album's lackluster production and trite lyrics make it a chore to listen to. The beats aren't very creative and the songs just aren't very original. I really wish that she had tried harder to make a better album for her stateside debut.I think the reason Utada even bothered making an English-language album is because record producers thought Americans couldn't handle a Japanese-language release. A "greatest hits" album or stateside release of her previous (and excellent) Japanese albums would have been much better than what we got with "Exodus."
