Rock'n'Roll Circus by a BIG long shot
the singles are great & the album tracks are fabulous . The album tracks that got PVs , at least the PVs looked great & more expensive as compared to NEXT LEVEL's
also Rock music's my fave music genre & I think in general more people like Rock'n'Roll Circus a lot more than NEXT LEVEL as it's more well put together
probably going to London to record the album for the 1st time kinda helped things for ayumi in a way or 2 too xD
UNIVERSE on the other hand , I like the singles but the album tracks fall short to me . A lot of songs , I felt Kumi's vocals were very mundane/lazy & can't keep up with how great the singles were & some sound like poorer cousins of her past songs
like Work It Out sounds like a poor cousin of Run For Your Life to me
but No Way is fantastic & 1 of the few sparks in UNIVERSE & that goes for You're So Beautiful which's well beautiful
I listen to TRICK a lot more than UNIVERSE sadly
