Love Songs, totally! It's such a cohesive album, with really high production value -- both songs and PVs. Everything has such a refinement and largeness to it that someone of Ayu's career level should be putting out. Also, I think her voice is much better on this album, overall. I do miss a "big" ballad from this album, but there are enough mid-tempos to make it OK.

RNRC is one of, if not the, worst album in her discography to me. There are definitely songs on it that I like, but it's all over the place. They also feel very "moment in time" to me. Not that that is wrong per se, but I got over that album very quickly. After Next Level (which ended up growing on me after RNRC came out), I was really hoping for something of a redemption that RNRC didn't live up to.
