This was something I waited for so long, mostly poppy album, there is only one song that can be called really rockish and that's Microphone. Pop and ballads are made just for me. Thank you Ayu! First, I would like to comment the covers, CD+DVD is cute, but not really fan of close ups, CD only is pretty! Title of the album is interesting, I kinda can understand the circus part, but Rock N Roll not so much. Maybe Ayu was reffering to the usual elements of her music and her influences or she just think that's cool title lol.
THE introduction
It really is THE, it's dark, fierce and I love it! 10/10
Microphone
That's why I love Ayu rock, she makes it epic, bombastic, awsome! I think this is just one masterpiece more in her discography. 10/10
count down
Fierce intro in the album and then midtempo! Im very happy with this. Song is really beautiful, and it has dark vibe with its beat and deep voice in its chorus. 10/10
Sunset ～LOVE is ALL～
I love this song so much! It's sweet, beautiful, relaxed but emotional at the same time. This is perfect song! 10/10
BALLAD
I love oriental influences in music so ofcourse I'm gonna fall for it. BALLAD is dreamy and lovely! It's like neverending dream, I would like for Ayu to have album full of epic songs like this where they are asian influenced. Awsome in every way! 10/10
Last Links
Acoustic intro is awsome! Very easy to listen to, strong chorus with beautiful violins that are appearing here and there. 10/10
montage
This interlude gives me a vibe of 'what will happen next', cause after set of beautiful ballads there's a classic sound. Beautiful I say. 10/10
Don't look back
This song was really surprising for me, I didn't expect Ayu doing song like this. It's one masterpiece more, Ayu will you stop!? I can't handle this. I want to have just one song on repeat, but I can't cause I love so many tracks on this album. This song is too beautiful to describe. 10/10
Jump!
This was the first thing on the album I felt like wth. Don't get it and don't feel it. It's weird and I don't know will I ever like it. I'm glad it's just an interlude. 1/10
Lady Dynamite
At first I thought it's too simple, Ayu could do much more fun songs then this, but I started to like it. It's catchy. 6/10
Sexy little things
This track is daaaaaaa shiiiiiit. So unique, so fun, so cute, so everything! I'm very happy with this!!! 10/10
Sunrise ～LOVE is ALL～
I LOVE JPOP. It's bright and cute and OMG I LOVE THIS! 10/10
meaning of Love
I don't know how I feel about this, It is cute for sure, but it reminds me on Days and You were... It's like its child. I love it for its cuteness, but Ayu could have been more original, right? 5/10
You were...
I've always felt how this song would have been really epic that Ayu had better vocals. Chorus is very much forced and that's the only thing it's bugging me. But, oh well... 7/10
RED LINE ～for TA～ [album version]
SUCH A SWEET ENDING! I would like to have it whole in acapella. VERY VERY SWEET. 10/10
Overall:
I would like to say it's a perfect album cause mostly it is, but this few things I have problem with (boring Jump! and -couldhavebeenbetterfeeling-) are here, so I will face it. It's ALMOST a perfect album. I'm very satisfied and I will buy it for sure. Important thing about this album is that Ayu is not screaming nor yelling (ok, You were... chorus doesn't count lol) and I think she's totally aware now of her possibilities. I'm happy for that! She takes care of herself cause she wants to be here for a long time I hope. 9/10
PV's:
S/S ～LOVE is ALL～
Yup, it is boring but I got positive vibe from Sunrise part and emotinal feel of Sunset. Could have been better, but I enjoyed it! 5/10
You were...
It's very pretty, but still so mysterious, I still don't get it. Its darkness scares me. 4/10
BALLAD
This PV wins for me cause my fav color dominated whole set - PINK. Ayu looks like a princess and it has a love story. 10/10
Microphone
Ayu looks fierce but whole pv scares me. 3/10
Don't look back
One of the most epic PVs Ayu has made!!! I LOVE IT 10/10
Lady Dynamite
I like it so much cause Ayu looks faaaaaab and we can see she is having fun, she's so sweet dancing there like there is no end. 8/10
