Technically it was just released in North America, although the Japanese version has been out for months. I know some of you out there have picked this up already. What do you think? On first listen I felt it was very impressive, might be she's put out something to challenge Spiral and Time Control in quality. We'll see, I hate to make definitive judgment statements on albums until I've had them for a good long time. I'd be shocked if it ended up in the lower half of her albums as I rank them, though. Fantastic first impression.
Beyond Standard had been a bit of a letdown, but it seems like she's just getting better since then. Can't wait to give this disc more spins while I'm travelling, she's right there as one of my favourite artists and this was my most anticipated release of the year, probably.
