Intro to Trick: eh. I get that she's trying to have that "circus feeling" in the intro instrumentals, but I dunno, it just sounds unpolished. The song, however, is actually not half bad.
Taboo: <3
Show Girl: I dunno why, but it reminds me of Run for you life. Decent song, not spectacular
Your Love: I normally like her more RnB-ish ballad, but this song just...dragged and dragged, and I really don't like her vocals in this song.
Stay With Me: it's a carbon-copy of her major power-ballad, but I can't stop listening to this song, mainly because I actually really like her vocals in this song.
This is not a love song: One of the better album songs
Driving: the melody's not particularly catchy for me, and the arrangement kind of get on my nerves.
Bling Bling Bling: I hope she was kidding with this song. I truly do, but oh does it give me the Lulz.
That Ain't Cool: it honestly would be more fitting on a Fergie album. But eh, it's not a bad Fergie song.
Hurry Up!: Also one of the best songs on the album
Moon Crying: I still like the piano version better, but at least it deviated a little from her other ballads in terms of arrangements
Just the way you are: it's not a bad composition, but it's not a song for her voice at all. It doesn't allow her to show her vocals, and end up making her sound like she lost her voice or something
Joyful: It felt like Someday/WIND, but I dunno, it doesn't make that impact with me the way the other two songs had.
Ai no Kotoba: Wonderful arrangement.

Overall, eh. It's not a bad album that makes me want to rip out my ears, but it's just that nothing stood out, except for three songs. Maybe driving will grow on me.
