hmm after seeing these comments..i guess GUILTY will most likely end up like t2m's situation (low first week sales and steady chart life) as it may not be well-recieved at first because it swayed greatly to the rock side..and not everyone can accept it with open arms in the first place..it's an album which requires time inorder to digest and discover the beauty in them.

There're two parts in the album. The first part of GUILTY has a (very)heavy and gloomy mood..my mind almost slowed down while listening to it, serious. The only track that i wish to lament about will be GUILTY, the title track..as it's compostion is very simple and it can easily be an album filler...i find it quite similar to m(u)...and IMO m(u) was better than GUILTY, as in the title track.

DLMA and Mirror were quite addicting...and Mirror should really be extended to be a full song like many others said..about DLMA...i think this can be further improved as it's quite a repetitive song...which is not recommended.

Together When... marks the second part of the album..this song saved me from the heavy mood and i really like Marionette -Prelude- because it definitely prepares me for Marionette...and it is mysterious and haunting. As for Marionette, similar to fated..it is slowww..but i prefer it to fated..but the chorus..it's a litttllleee boring compared to the verse which is much better.

The Judgement Day, glitter and MY ALL; surprising these three songs actually determine whether i should buy this album or not..if not for them..GUILTY would have scared off many people as it will be an extremely dark album, lol. I particularly adore the second part of The Judgement Day..it suddenly becomes more upbeat and i really like it!!..and also..it prepares me for glitter and MY ALL...it makes glitter less awkard and i certainly don't think glitter is out of place..it's a neccessity in this album.

lol reBIRTH...if it's replaced by another interlude or album track im sure people will love this album even more. As for Untitled ~For Her~...i feel that it's an above average ballad..however together when... is much better than this.

Overall i will give GUILTY a 7.5/10..mainly because of the awesome single track and interludes...i still feel that GUILTY (title track) spoils the album =/

and really, what happened to the Queen of Jpop as questioned by some people?..right now, ayu seems to be the Queen of Jrock instead. i do do do hope that ayu will place less emphasis of rock as i really missed the popish ayu..it would be great to see ayu adding more pop songs into her next album and okay, being too rock-orientated in this album is my main complaint..but i do wish those who are disappointed with this album to continue to support ayu and buy the album..after all, no album can really achieve perfection.
