My review of TRICK:

INTRODUCTION FOR TRICK: a bad interlude, but I usually don't like her interludes. I prefer an interlude like Tohoshinki had in their 1st Japanese album, with segments of the songs featured on the album

TABOO: good song and still catchy. The music is awesome. 9/10

show girl:
screams Christina Aguilera doesn't it? And saw Britney's new video yesterday, also reminded me of this =p the whole show theme. Ok well about the song... the chorus saves the song. 7/10

Your Love: sweet and nice ballad, but not memorable for me :/ very simple song. 6/10

stay with me: the chorus is just so strong. At first I thought this just sounds toooo much like other winter ballads she did, but it grew on me and it's one of the better songs on the album 8/10

This is not a love song: very good stuff. :3 great music. She actually sings this AIN'T a love song, whereas the title is this is NOT a love song, but oh well 8/10

Driving: this needs a PV and needed a single release. Imagine BUT and Driving on one single?? Not bad. Or Driving/This is not a love song. I love this one. The music is great, it's really catchy!!! 10/10

Bling Bling Bling: I think that, imo, this is the worst song she made up till now. She sounds like a drowned cat in this song. The whole tone of the song is just eck it's like the american mainstream junk; it has the catchy factor but that's it. XD I don't like it. Only the very last part of the song, where she sings normally is OK to me. 4/10

That Ain't Cool: Where it's not Kuu ft. Fergie, but Fergie ft. Kuu. This is also bad bad bad. The lyrics are stupid, although I do like the mixture of Japanese and English Kuu sang. 4/10

Hurry Up!: very noisy the pre-chorus sounded promising, but ... nah. Again, music at some points IS really good. 5/10

Moon Crying: I remember reading yesterday, when someone reviewed this one, they wrote "and it's back to garbage again!"... well you're wrong. it's a better ballad than all other ballads on this album. It's memorable and really beautiful. 8,5/10

JUST THE WAY YOU ARE: starts off with really sweet background music :3 not bad at all. 7,5/10

Joyful: ending song. XD WIND part 2? sounds like been done before, though. 7/10

愛のことば: after the love song here's the words of love. She sings quite high in this one, but she does it well. Not bad. 7/10

Venus: I didn't like the song before, and I still don't 5/10

overall: 6,57 = 7

Kinda disappointed in the end, though.
