so i listened to the album, and it's so-so, just like her past couple albums, LOL. but i think i like this better than "Kingdom". actually, IDK, i think i'll have to re-listen to "Kingdom" & "Black Cherry" again. i think the ultimate downfall of this album are the ballads...it's sad that the
awesome album tracks like "Driving" & "This is not a love song" are heavily drowned out by tracks like "Ai no Kotoba" & "Your Love".
"Black Cherry", "Kingdom", & "TRICK" are similar to me in a sense that they each have tracks i
ADORE, but at the same time, some tracks that are just so...UGH.
however, "secret" will
ALWAYS be my favorite album of hers. that era and "Best ~First Things~" is the Kuu i love most.
