My thoughts on this album:

I still haven’t warmed up to “Party Queen”, and I don’t think I ever will. I haven’t liked this song since hearing it at CDL, so it’s an automatic skip for me.

However, the other two party-ish songs, “NaNaNa, and “Shake It ♥”, I like those a lot. Don’t even mind Timmy taking over most of “NaNaNa”.

“Taskebab” was just meh. Whatever.

Moving on to the rock section, I really like “Call” and I love “Reminds Me”. I’m not sold on “Letter” at the moment, but maybe with a few more listens. “Tell Me Why” was okay, a little boring though. Halfway through the song, I was like meh, next. After listening to “Return Road” in full, I don’t really like it.

I think I like “A Cup of Tea” a little bit…

“The Next LOVE” kinda reminded me of “Giving Him Something He Can Feel” by En Vogue. Not really a fan of this song though, I listened to it twice and I have no desire to ever listen to it again. It wasn’t as bad as “Eyes, Smoke, Magic”. I couldn’t even get through that song once. The part where the music picked up a bit was cool, but after that I was done.

“Serenade in A Minor” is…meh. Pretty, but meh.

I think “How Beautiful You Are” is a nice closing song. Also pretty much the only song composed by Timmy that I actually like.

So to wrap up, I found the album to be pretty average. The first half was nice (except “Party Queen”), but after “Reminds Me”, I found the album pretty dull. To be honest, I wish I hadn’t spent money on this and downloaded it instead. There's just too many skippable tracks here for me.
