I have really mixed feelings about this album so far. Like no other album.
The "Sunrise/Sunset" songs are basically non-existant to me so that shows how much I look forward to hearing them on the album.
"You were..." is as generic as I expected it to be but it's not terrible so I look forward to listening to it on the album's tracklist. I really like "BALLAD" though and can't wait to hear more of it.
After the singles I heard "Microphone" and I immediately lost hope in the album. I was afraid it would all turn out this generic and weakly produced. I couldn't even finish the video, it looked like an ad for the iPhone.
BUT then everything changed once "Don't look back" had leaked and I listened to it for the first time. From that moment I knew I would be buying this album A.S.A.P.
I recently watched the video for "Lady Dynamite" and I started getting mixed feelings again. The video is lack-luster and the song is just OK.
BUT then I watched the video for "Sexy Little Things" and I fell in love again. Wicked song and video.
But in the end I'm gonna buy the album because it's Ayumi and I love her. Also, I'm looking forward to being surprised like I was after I bought and listened to
NEXT LEVEL. I can't wait
