well, from unheard tracks I love Thank U and November. only. Thank U is a masterpiece, already my favorite from her happy-uplifting-for fans songs, melody sounds heavenly. November is just beautiful.

I won't give full review or opinion after listening to the whole album once, but I can say already Love songs and Rock'n'Roll Circus are on the same quality level. They had good potential but would have been more polished, rather cannot surpass her older albums. I think in my personal fight Love songs wins though.

two latest albums' minuses and pluses (it's still my opinion):

Rock'n'Roll Circus:
- bad singles, non-single tracks are way better
+ some non-single tracks definitely stand out, not only in the album but in her whole discography imo (like Don't look back and Sexy little things), giving very unique vibe
-/+? typical Ayu's album transition and tracks' flow, album divided into rock part, ballad part, happy part, concert ending song part etc. etc.

Love songs:
+ one of her greatest singles in whole career
- non-single tracks are worse, but just a bit worse than singles, but that's because they're in similar/the same genre; most of them doesn't sound like they'll stand out for Ayu fans in the future
+/-? great flow, but... can we talk about flow here? I don't know about you, but for me the whole album is in one genre and style, songs have the same tune. It's her first 'concept' album since... RAINBOW? and RAINBOW had some songs which stood out from its genre (Heartplace for example).

I think Love songs' sound is more familiar to my tastes regarding to Ayu, but... hard to judge right now. Though since I'm enjoying it more right now than R'n'C I give it a higher note. I have to say that some of new songs here sound rather like fragments of different songs put together and that's why I liked only 2 songs. I don't know whether TK's composing is doing it here or something else.
