1. THE introduction - I expected more from this but it's interesting and different, it's not bad at all but could have been better.
7/10
2. Microphone - I *LOVE* this song so much! Seriously, I never thought she'd come out with a rock song I could enjoy more than Mirrorcle World but here it is. The arrangement is great and I love her vocals too. This is such a strong song. Why can't any other female artists in Japan release something this amazing? TELL ME WHY TELL ME WHY. idk idk.
10/10
3. count down - This is a really different sound for her imo. Some people compare it to criminal but I think it's very different and even darker sounding. I love her emotion in this song, the way she's singing it really gets me. This is one of my favorites on the album.
10/10
4. Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~ - This song is pretty and sweet, I love the intro. I think people totally overreact to it and how "bad" it is. The worst part about it is the length and how it drags a bit and could be considered a bit boring, but that's it. The lyrics, music, and her voice are so sweet. Not all ayu ballads have to be ~epic~. Give me a LOVE ~Destiny~ type ballad every once in a while and I'll be very satisfied
8/10
5. BALLAD - One of my favorite ayu ballads, the arrangement is gorgeous and she sounds so sad in it, truly a masterpiece.
10/10
6. Last Links - WOWOWOW. Can you marry me pls ayu? This is so ****ing amazing. One of her best album only tracks on an album, it's right up there with "I am..."
10000/10
7. montage - I love this! It's so dark sounding to me and it's a nice change for an interlude.
8/10
8. Don't look back - Despite what other people say I think this sounds NOTHING like vogue or any other song in her discography. It's completely fresh and I love it. It has this creepiness to it and I love the intro.
10/10
9. Jump! - AHHHHHH this is SO SO SO amazing! I can't get over how awesome this is, srsly. I love how it builds up.
9/10
10. Lady Dynamite - This goes perfectly after "Jump!". This song is WAY too catchy! The arrangement is nothing special and it's repetitive but it's just so addicting.
8/10
11. Sexy little things - This has to be my favorite on the album and one of my favorite ayu songs ever. It's cute/creepy/wacky and just ugh so amazing. This kicks all of her other cute songs asses lol.
1000000000000/10
12. Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~ - One of my favorite ayu summer songs, unfortunately I overplayed it quite a bit so I don't feel like listening to it for a while. It's still an awesome song though and is great live.
9/10
13. meaning of Love - The chorus could be better, but I have to say I LOVE her voice in this song. There isn't too much vibrato and it just feels natural. This sounds so sweet and I just love the lyrics.
9/10
14. You were... - One of my top 5 ayu ballads. LOVE the chorus, arrangement, and emotion in her voice.
10/10
15. RED LINE ~for TA~ [album version] - SOOO much better than the original song!! I like her vocals here and the ending is PERFECTION. Seriously, what a perfect way to end an album. I love her acapella, she sounds so sweet.
1000000000000000000000/10 (lol sorry for the rating but it's just so perfect as an ending imo)
Overall this is an amazing album and I am more than satisfied. I love the variety it has! She could not release anything for 2 years and I'd still be satisfied with all of the amazing stuff on this album (but of course she won't lol, such a workaholic). I notice the music is a lot more exciting/amazing/wow-ing with this album, it's like she really stepped it up and experimented this time and just pulled it off perfectly. I love/like every single bit of this album, even the weaker points aren't as bad as the weaker points on NL or GUILTY. With her last 3 albums I have a love/hate relationship with at least one track, but there is not one on this album and that's another thing I really love about it.
