Another strong album from Hikaru 2009/01/29
Reviewer: Amber (UNITED STATES) |
Heart Station is Hikaru's strongest album yet without trying to throw too much at the listener in one go like Ultra Blue, her previous album. It can be easy listening or something to really get into depending on your mood, and the new tracks such as "Take 5", "Prisoner of Love", and "Niji-iro Bassu" are amazing additions to the album. Heart Station's sound is a mix between Ultra Blue's strong synth and her R&B roots which makes for a great combination. Highly recommended.

Really good! 2009/01/25
Reviewer: CMS (UNITED KINGDOM) |
This is such a good album. All the songs sound so good and all are created by Hikki herself! The songs that, in my opinion, stand out the most are "Prisoner of Love", "Stay Gold", "Take 5" and "Beautiful World". Well worth buying!

Heart Station 2009/01/16
Reviewer: J.Tsai (JAPAN) |
This is the first Hikki album that I enjoyed listening to. I have heard her previous work, but none of it really stuck. The songs here are definitely more on the uplifting and sunny side (moodwise) than her previous album. Of course, the singles are good and there is a decent amount of variety overall. "Heart Station," "Stay Gold," and "Flavor of Life" are my favorites.

Powerful Album 2009/01/14
Reviewer: Teiku5 (UNITED STATES) |
This is another amazing album from Hikki that showcases her ever evolving skills!
Although most of the tracks are not as aggressive as some tracks in ULTRA BLUE the album builds a strong presence.

Lovely Album 2008/12/03
Reviewer: Megan M (UNITED STATES) |
Heart Station is a wonderful album-- all of the tracks have a really beautiful feel to them. Boku wa Kuma seems like an odd inclusion, but it's a cute song, and helps lighten things up a bit. The CD booklet is nice as well, printed on glossy paper with good photos of Hikaru. If you're a Hikki fan, you should definitely pick this one up!

Great Album 2008/11/14
Reviewer: Sac Cervantes (MEXICO) |
Great album but not better than Ultra blue. It has great songs and excellent lyrics but the problem is that half of them were already singles and 2 of them were the same song -_-
But the rest of the song are incredible, thx Hikki ^_^

Felt like a Singles Collection 2008/08/11
Reviewer: Bruce (UNITED STATES) |
This is one of Utada Hikaru's best albums, but it felt more like a singles collection then an album. Maybe because nearly 2/3 of the CD tracks were released as singles makes it feel like that. I really liked how Utada got original with the songs. The transition into Celebrate from Gentle Beast caught me by surprise and Take5's beautiful lyrics and abrupt ending were nice. Niji-No Basu is an original song with a happy beat but depressing lyrics. Overall I'd recommend you get this album, but be careful. It really felt like a singles collection but get it for Take5 or Gentle Beast + Celebrate.

Hikki Continues to Make Great Albums 2008/07/27
Reviewer: Jimmy (UNITED STATES) |
Really a diverse album. Some of the tracks on this album really make it relaxing to listen to. Heart Station, Stay Gold, Beautiful World are great. I'm glad Prisoner of Love became a recut single because it definitely has A-side potential. Catchy to listen to.

I fell in love with this album! 2008/07/03
Reviewer: Ness (UNITED STATES) |
This is not an in-your-face album. It is a super laid-back album that will grow on you more and more. Utada is definitely one of my favorite artists, and I pretty much enjoy all of her albums (a couple were a little weak), but something about HEART STATION is very soothing and fresh. I have been playing this album non stop for the past 3 months and I am not the least bit sick of it. I used to be a downloader, but this album made me into a buyer! I can honestly say this is the first album I have ever fallen in love with!!
