Mirror - I liked the preview, but I didn't like the full version much. It started off well, but then it descended into just this horrendous NOISE which sounded like there was no composition at all. It got a bit too chaotic for me, but it does fit the mood of the album, though I'll probably end up skipping it.
(don't) Leave me alone - I love it, quite a good strong upbeat track.
Marionette -prelude- - I liked it, slightly spooky but sad.
Marionette - I liked the preview and loved the full version, seems like quite a bit of sadness and anger in the music.
The Judgement Day - reminded me a lot of the songs on MY STORY with the sound and vocals - quite a refreshing break which lifts the mood before the next song.
MY ALL - meh, just another typical pop song, pleasant to listen to but just a bit too long for what it is, started tuning out halfway through because it got boring.
reBiRTH - brings the mood down a bit again after the pop tracks in a gentler way, sounds quite dreamy, reminds me of RAINBOW album
untitled ~for her~ - okay, not really grabbing me much, seems like the music and Ayu are a bit emotionless and tired. I'm not sure whether I like it or not as I've listened to it only once.
Overall, a good album, the only thing that's missing is a track that stands out from the rest. It hasn't got as much energy as Secret had, but that's because the mood of this album is different, more sadness and anger.
