| BoA / Love & Honesty : 3 of 5 | |

 I ordered this CD direct from Japan just as it was released, because I completely enjoyed BoA's last album, Valenti. When I first popped this in my car, I was disappointed. The first track sounds kind of "slutty", almost like a Japanese Shania Twain song, so things were off to a bad start. The second track, Shine We Are (love that grammar), was a million times better, thankfully! Now I've listened to the whole CD at least twenty times, and I can say that's definitely a good CD that I can groove to. Of course, I can't really comment on the lyrics, though BoA's voice still sounds great (and I get excited when I can sing a three word phrase with her!). The production is a little tinny - I guess the bass is so low (super hip-hop) that I need to crank it to get a full sound. Overall, I'm enjoying it more and more as it keeps spinning in the car (and the hidden track at the end of the CD may be my favorite cut). I can't complain about the gorgeous photos in the insert, either!
