It's okay, I know you weren't ^^; Just in general, people like to bash a lot D:

I think GUILTY was perfect to be honest. I don't care what anyone else says LOL. I think NEXT LEVEL is great also because it acts like the extreme contrast to GUILTY. It's like:


Dark - GUILTY -------------(everything else)--------------- NEXT LEVEL - Light-hearted

It clearly reflects everything that's been going on in her life. The GUILTY era was a dark time for her, but during NEXT LEVEL, things started looking up I don't think some people view the albums that way. But that's definitely how I see it.
