This is my personal opinion, but most of the album seems to be filled with fillers. I mean, both Call and Letter sound (and you can throw in reminds me in that) like Last Links (which is a song I never really liked), and other songs have nothing major that makes them stand out, except for the amazing "the next LOVE". I've had a similar feeling with Koda's JAPONESQUE, the songs are all good, but not good enough. Even though Koda's album had a lot more songs that stood out more on their own. So this is just meh for me. I guess I need to listen to it way more than just once/twice. Hopefully I'll love it in the end. If not, this is probably going to end up as my least favorite album by Ayumi. The jazz part of the album was, for me, the only real epic part. The rest is mellow, and just tries too hard to be interesting when it's not. Just my opinion.
