Sounds ordinary but the way lumieregrl put it, with Ayu's lyrics, now makes so much sense and that it was very well-thought out. It's too bad few will ever appreciate that level of intricacy and detail in an album. I'm gonna do it that way and read the lyrics on my second hearing because...I need to digest the songs first round through hahaha.

(and ur crossroad part...im just wow..TK's music really had that conotations when put with Ayu's lyrics)
Yea, I wouldn't read along on the first listen because you can't absorb the overall sound so easily.

I don't think her older albums pre-NEXT LEVEL had these overarching themes? (Did they?)

The sound was bugging me so much. XD There seems to be an 80's vibe of sorts, but I guess that's TK.

I don't know what, but something separates this album from the rest of the lineup.
It seems like "Like A Doll" is the "Don't Look Back" in this album, at least as far as how the music style is different and catching.
