I'm not going to rate the songs (I have to hear them again) but I will comment on my overall impression.
The album flowed very nicely and I played the album all the way through and I never skipped a song! The last CD that happened was 'Duty.' One of my complaints however was that there was no songs that made me go WOW! No songs that shined. The only song that gave me that feeling was 'Mirror' and that wasn't even a full song.
Secret had until that Day, JEWEL, and even taskint!
Suprisingly, the album was very cohesive despite having happy songs like 'glitter'. IMO what ruined Secret was the inclusion of 'Born to be' and 'Beautiful Fighters.'
Talkin' to myself sounded amazing paired up with the rest of the album. As a single, it's pretty weak. Same goes for generally all the singles on GUILTY.
Another complaint is that it felt too short. I had the feeling that I wanted more. When it was over, I was like...that's it? IMO the prelude to Marionette was not needed.
Overall, the album as a whole was very good. It just needed some more...spark to it! I really liked the new composer who took charge of the album. I think he was a freshing change. She now needs new arrangers. Maybe that can give the album more spark?
Overall I give it a 8.5/10
