THE introduction 5/10 - it's not a bad intro, but it dosen't really do much for me. bridge to the sky, mirror, and Not yet, are much better introductions, IMO.
Microphone 10/10 - i've loved it since the day i heard it in that HONDA commercial. i'll never get enough of ayu's rock songs! this song also reminds me of the rock songs you'd hear in GUILTY.
count down 10/10 - i love this rock ballad so much! i love the kind of sad feeling the song gives me. very powerful!
Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~ 7/10 - i've always preferred Sunrise, to be honest. i just prefer upbeat songs instead.
BALLAD 10/10 - loved it since i first heard it, as well. her best ballad since Days, IMO. and i STILL love Days
Last Links 8/10 - i like the song, but even after hearing it quite a few times, i dunno if i really love it yet.
but it's a great song, anyway.
montage 5/10 - honestly, it's kinda..boring. definately not one ayu's best interludes, IMO.
Don't look back 10/10 - always loved it because of how different this music style is. i hope ayu can do another song like this in the future.
Jump! 10/10 - although it's not as good as some of the interludes on NEXT LEVEL, i just love the fun sound of it.
Lady Dynamite 10/10 - even after watching the crazy PV, i still love the song, lol. it's not a hard rock song or anything, but i love it. it's good to listen to.
Sexy little things 10/10 - i never thought i'd like this song when i heard it was using ayu's "cute" voice, but omg do i LOVE it now. it's probably my most played song of the album (along with count down). it's so crazy and i looove it!
Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~ 9/10 - i always love to listen to this song cause it's so fun.
meaning of Love 9/10 - reminds me of something i'd hear on GUILTY. it's a nice ballad! not my favorite, but i like it.
You were... 9/10 - this is the second "Days" to me, but just not as good, lol. but still, it's a pretty ballad. but i will always love Days much more.
RED LINE ~for TA~[album version] 9/10 - it's a really nice song, and i thought the album version was a bit better, for some reason.

i think the album tracks were much better than the single tracks. NEXT LEVEL was the opposite, to me. it had better single tracks than album tracks. but i need to say that i still love all the interludes from NEXT LEVEL much more than the ones on this album. either way, this is a really good album and i'd buy it if i could. hopefully i can in the future.
