Revised edition: Namie Amuro - Uncontrolled

Namie Amuro's Uncontrolled wasn't a bad album. It turned out far better that I thought it would be and was far more put together than it probably should've been given the singles. But it still stands that the track order was a mess and that the album as a whole wasn't cohesive enough. And Namie knew it too, because she made damn well to make that mistake again with Feel and especially _genic, where she said 'Fuck the singles'.

So, with this in mind, I've created a revised version of Uncontrolled with a sequencing that makes a bit more sense.

1. In The Spotlight (Tokyo)
2. Let's Go
3. Go Round (Single version)
4. Sit! Stay! Wait! Down!
5. Naked
6. Break It (Single version)
7. Higher
8. Yeah-Oh (Single version)
9. Love Story
10. Arigatou
11. Get Myself Back
12. Only You

The far superior Jinglish versions of "Go Round" and "Yeah-Oh" are in the cut, along with a couple of the single B-sides that popped. Leaving "Higher" off was a mess. But great B-sides getting left off of albums isn't a surprise to any J-Pop fan.
