I recieved mine on Wednesday, and I was waiting until I gave it a few listens to write my review.

THE introduction- I can't put my finger on it, but I really like this track. It gives me a since of being in some surreal place, and it is a pretty good altogether opener in my opinion. I can definitely see why people don't like it, but It is cool that she tried something different in this opening 9/10

Microphone- when I first heard the preview for it, I liked it but not too much. After a few listens to the real thing, I started to really enjoy it, and I am so in love with how emotional she sounds, like she just wants to rip everything up ( lol ) +1for the organs! 10/10

Count Down- I really love the dark/somber feeling in the beginning, and that feeling comes again at the end when there is that few seconds of A cappella. The verses are okay and the chorus and is okay the first 2 times, but it really makes up at the third and fourth time. 8/10

Sunset: Love is All - This track is very pretty, and it gives a warm feeling of summer. Her vocals are also very good in this track. 8/10

Ballad- What can I say about this track... the asian orchestra mixed with her raw emotion couldn't be a better mix together. Simply beautiful.
10/10

Last Links- I don't remember this track too much,( I think I have listened to it 3 times) but I remember liking it. Hopefully it will grow on to me. 6/10

Montage- pretty much what I said about THE introducion. It ties in with the next song well. 8/10

Don't Look Back this song makes me think of luigi's final smash in SSBB hahaha with that out of the way, I feel like I am floating on clouds when I listen to this song ( the first part anyway) and then it gets really intense without sounding bipolar. The visual of the music video made me REALLY like this song, but it is a nice song on its own, too. 10/10

Jump!- Makes me want to jump myself. I find it so catchy, and perfect before the next song ( again ) 8/10

Lady Dynamite-seeing the video a month ago really did not help with my oppinion of this song (lol) I liked it, but the pv made me stay away from it. Now I enjoy it thoroughly. 9/10

Sexy Little Things- I always dance a little even when I am sitting down whenever I hear this song. I am so addicted to it since it is crazy, cute, funky, and all without being annoying. ( but hey, when has any ayu song annoyed me?..) 10/10

Sunrise: Love is All- A very fun and catchy song. Though it isn't super special, it has a special place in my heart 9/10

Meaning of Love A cute and pretty song ( from what I remember ^^U ) I hope that I fall more in love with this song with every listen 7.5 /10

You Were... I don't care what anyone says, this song is packed with so much emotion that I just want to start crying by the end. Her voice isn't the best, but I never really cared about ayus vocal level in any of her songs 9.5/10

Red Line: for TA (Album Version)- A nice catchy song that is starting growing on me. It reminds me of MY ALL, which I really love 8/10


Over all, this album was really great. It felt really short because I was DYING to hear and see the leaked music videos, so there were only 3 new full tracks for me. That isn't really a problem, though.

9/10
