I find it kind of curious that most of the talk in this thread, and in other j-pop/rock threads, is of songs rather than albums. Western music discussion (here and elsewhere) tends to be the other way around.
That's not the case with SR -- if we're talking about her Western fanbase, that is. People usually refer to her albums, Muzai Moratorium, Shouso Strip and Karuki Zamen Kuri no Hana -- especially since they all showcase different styles.

'Honnou' is brilliant. I don't like many other songs though. Maybe I've listened to the wrong ones. Does she sing/scream in that hot/aggressive way in any other songs? I don't like her when she's being meek or when the music overshadows her voice. I don't 'feel' her slow songs at all. Background stuff. Scream bitch!
Try Morphine and Onaji Yoru. You could have been listening to the wrong ones, because she has so many different kinds of slow songs. Jazzy slow songs, J-Poppy slow songs, 'crazy' slow songs, etc. For the aggressive mad singing, try these songs:
1. Tsumi to Batsu
2. Koufukuron (album version)
3. Identity
4. OSCA
Bah, just listen to Shouso Strip.
I advise people to listen to her albums instead of random tracks. And listen to them in order MM -SS - KZK. Karuki Zamen Kuri no Hana is her magnum opus but is kinda avant garde, and probably won't have much instant appeal as Shouso Strip. It's also not as in your face as her earlier two albums.
