I think it's intentional since "Return Road" begins where Virgin Road ended with Love songs? From taskebab onward though, it looks like an upbeat album except for how beautiful you are. She's been doing a lot of ballad bookends lately. (Actually, she does them all the time. The only albums to not end with a ballad are MY STORY, Duty, and RAINBOW. I'm not sure if Present counts as a ballad though.)
