I really wanna sit down and review each song but I'm too lazy and I figured if I kept putting it off, by the time I got it done they hype would be over with. Lol.

So, tracks I love
Step In To My World: Much better than TRICK. TRICK always had that "oh it could have been sooooo gooood" feeling to me and they really threw the punch in for this one. Love it.
SUPER STAR: Yes, this is a track that's really catchy and fun. Very fresh I'd say.
Work It Out!!: Very Nami Tamaki. I could see this for an anime (probably some Gundam crap) and I really like this style. Ku pulled it off very well.
UNIVERSE: The chorus is very very slightly weaker than the verses, but I really do love this song! Yeah, I found the similarity to Missy Elliot too but this is WAY better.

Lick Me is really the only single track I like (it grew on me). And actually, it's very refreshing and makes an album much more enjoyable and memorable when the singles are crap and the album turns out to kick ass. I prefer it that way actually. ECSTACY is listenable for me too but it angers me because it could have been better.

No Way is pretty decent too, but I can't find time to listen to it much when I'm constantly looping Step In To My World, SUPER STAR, Work It Out!! and UNIVERSE. Lol.

All in all, I am very pleased and excited with this album. MANY more GREAT album tracks than past albums, IMO. Love that the "Get Up & Move!!" Kumi kind of came back with "Step In To My World" and "UNIVERSE".

Although... NOTHING WILL EVER TOP DRIVING! That's one song I will NEVER get sick of. It's a masterpiece.

GREAT JOB KU-KU-KACHOO!
