PopReaper 2,229 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 @PoshLife Bad Mode is amazing Definitely one of my Top 3 Utada albums. Everything feels so cohesive that I don't mind the amount of old tracks in there (I've replaced the original Face My Fears with the A.G. Cook mix tho). Find Love is as great as I thought it would be, and same for the title track (which actually went in a kind of unexpected direction after the first chorus/post-chorus). Not In The Mood is a pretty cute lo-fi moment, and Somewhere Near Marseilles is up there with Find Love as my favorite track from the album It overstays it's welcome a bit after it reaches the 9:00/9:30 mark, but I still think it's incredible and have been listening to it on a loop (kinda reminds me of Roisin Murphy's latest stuff).

Find Love is SO GOOD. I was worried that it would just be what we heard in the commercial plus some filler, but it actually has verses and is a real song. Yes!!! The last minute I could probably do without, which is kinda how I feel about most of the songs on the album - a lot of them sort of start wandering off musically and I'm like, okay I'm ready for the next song lol. I also really like Bad Mode (the song) but the second half definitely threw me for a loop haha. tbh I probably won't listen to Not in the Mood or Somewhere in Marseilles that often, they're looong and not really my style. But it's crazy how much English is in this album, it feels like she really made this to be an international album for an international audience. I agree with you that the album feels really cohesive, with the exception of Face My Fears but that's one of my favorite songs of hers so I don't mind it being on the album. Did you catch that she re-recorded some vocals for both versions of Face My Fears (english and japanese)? You hear it in the first chorus of the Japanese version, and the very end of the English version. btw the live performances of Find Love and Face My Fears are both really good, especially Find Love: Spoiler Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
