^^ MM albums rock indeed, they're the best out of H!P by a long shot.

beat by ranks but not by sales. hmmm. too bad, i was hoping the 1-2-3 effect + posters would give us a first week similar to at least the 9th album in terms of sales. oh well at least it beat last album's weekly sales, i'm happy about that.

^But it did?

OK -- now I'm thinking of the albums I've heard in recent years (from 2000 on) that strike me as being mostly good, without much filler:
T-ara -- Breaking Heart
ZONE -- N
Cindy Chen's first two albums
A-Mei -- Amit
There are others that I could list (by Shonen Knife, eX-Girl, Onitsuka Chihiro, Huang Fei, Guitar Wolf, etc.), but they're generally at least somewhat quirky off the beaten path. When it comes to general-audience pop, I think that's about it.
And yes. I have completely shut out just about all U.S./European music since somewhere around the mid-90s, for reasons which I've finally decided are more a matter of my own weird psychology than taste.

Edit: Added A-Mei.

MM。has a lot of good album songs.

We said that though, it just so happens that there are only 2-3 per album

ZONE -- N

That's my favorite ZONE album.
