Ayu brings decent songs to the plate as usual. But after listening to the whole album, i'm sort of beginning to understand why sales for this album is quite low. Ayu songs are normally about epic scale instrumentals but this time there's a lot of electronic themes going on. Seems like the budget for producing this album has been lowered substantially and this can be obtained from many many artistes in Japan. So where's the appeal of ayu?
I do not enjoy the 'disco' songs (energize, sparkle and rollin') much. I would say her best songs are clearly the single tracks when her album tracks used to be much on par with them. So there's this filler thing going on for me. I still like the album and give it an overall 3/5. It's just that Secret and Guilty seem so much better. Maybe i need more time to let it grow on me.
