Well since everyone was giving their ranks...I guess I'll give mine

1. HEART STATION
2. Distance
3. ULTRA BLUE
4. Exodus
5. Deep River
6. First Love

EDIT: ^To you above me, it's funny, I thought the complete opposite. I thought this album was a VERY nice follow-up to ULTRA BLUE and showed great potential. There was a lot of diversity and that's what made it so interesting. I will agree with you that there were too many singles and not enough new stuff (which this is the 3rd time this has happened to me with an artist and it's really starting to bother me), and that both versions of 'Flavor of Life' should NOT have been included on the album...even though I took back what I said about 'Boku wa Kuma' not being a good choice to put on the album, I have to say that when Utada put both versions of 'Flavor of Life' and 'Boku wa Kuma' it felt like she was just looking for fillers. Oh and the only other bad thing was the fact that Utada's vocals sounded really strained at times...
The 'Gentle Beast Interlude' was amazing IMO (her interludes never disappoint). But you know, I used to say the same thing, that interludes were pointless and were just taking up space on the album, but I learned from fellow users that they serve as transitioners and are very important at times. Besides, some of them have very groovey sounds to them
But yeah, just thought it was a little interesting how our opinions were the complete opposite, but please don't take this as criticism towards your opinions; I was just reflecting is all
