1. Love Song - 8/10
Too...catchy...not to like.

2. Crossroad - 6/10
Crossroad is Crossroad. It's good but nothing amazingly special.

3. Moon - 4/10
Eh.

4. Sending Mail - 9/10
This song is ridiculous. The chorus is annoyingly repetitive, and very generic but the verses and bridges are just plain WOW.

5. Last Angel - 10/10
Ah, amazing.

6. Insomnia - 2/10
Out of place and just plain random.

7. Like a Doll - 5/10
Eh. The only part I like is when Ayu hits those high notes at the end of the chorus.

8. Aria - 8/10
When I listen to this interlude I feel like i'm at some kind of renaissance garden party.

9. Blossom - 3/10
Zzzz...

10. Thank U - 8/10
Hang on...this isn't an interlude.

11. Sweet Season - 7/10
Nothing special but it definitely has a mood that effects it's listeners.

12. Overture - 1/10
Um. No. Just no.

13. Do It Again - 10/10
I didn't see this one coming. Honestly. The previews do this track no justice. This is easily the best track on the album. Why the hell wasn't this song an A-side?!

14. November - 9/10
A very simple, memorable track. Ayu's vocals are fantastic and it's nice to hear that she can still hit those high notes.

15. Virgin Road - 10/10
This one sits among her best ballads. Anyone who doesn't think so...please die.

16. Seven Days War (Live) - 7/10
The live version does well to choke up it's audience. I find it hard to really like this song but its not bad.

Overall: 8/10

I gave extra points for flow and general consistency in arrangement. The album is weighed down by some below average tracks and pointless interlude but it is a very simple and enjoyable album and i honestly think some of the tracks on this album are among her best works.

(So much better than Rock N Roll Circus and Next Level, phew -__-).
