Taking 2003 to regroup after the one-two punch of 2002 albums I Am... and Rainbow, Ayumi Hamasaki returned in late 2004 with her sixth full-length offering, My Story. Much like 2003's top-selling EP Memorial Address, this liberated set infused more rock crunch and aggressive grit to the pop star's winning formula. Screaming riffs on "About You," "Humming 7/4," and "Game" immediately capture the album's energy, while even the more pop-leaning fare, like "My Name's Woman," "Honey," and "Inspire," benefits from the newfound attitude and free spirit. Fans of her midtempo output are also treated to one of her catalog highlights, the soaring "Moments," which finds Hamasaki pushing her vocals to new heights. Perhaps not as well known as her earlier classic albums, My Story is a worthy installment that should be considered part of the impeccable run of albums in her first half-decade and one of her last true hits before the start of a sales decline that began in the late 2000s. ~ Neil Z.
