My (not so wise and not so elaborated) opinion about the songs again, having played the album for 2 weeks (while having 9000+ plays of Return Road on last.fm OMG):

Party queen - GREAT opener aka LET'S DRINK *****ES. (actually, she's basically saying that: "We need a drink ★".) <- okay not but still.. So desperate yet so awesome! (I've to admit that I like the LIVE version more. It's nicer and there are more instruments; more lively. AND when ayu says 'kampai' for the second time it's almost like she's blasting someone with the same gun from Virgin Road PV. "kamPAAAAAAAAIII".)

NaNaNa - Dark upbeat song I LOVE IT. Love ayu's first part, so full with attitude somehow (even though it's autotuned almost to the standards of western artists). So fierce, and then Timmy starts singing. SO ANTI CLIMATIC, want to scare cats now and bully them. Whatever. I will never introduce this song to my friends ever. (the PV is horrible except for the sexy ayu dancing during her first heavily autotuned part). edit; I also don't like that this song is directed to GORGEOUS BOIZ only. Guess GORGEOUS BEAUTIFUL girls and ugly boys and girls are left out this time! Sorry guys, ...(

Shake It ♥ - Rough and upbeat again! It's almost like Party queen. But I'm not really digging this song, it's weird. This, you play when aliens come to abduct you. Oh- and the "I ♥ Girls" is confusing too. (And I really hear Timmy say "Turn me on" after the chorus during the, 'Shake It, Shake it LaLa'

taskebab Like the intro! Oh I like the first 51 seconds, don't like the part after it. So stupid get it out of my face.

call Oh my this is SO nice, but very boring. NEXT prease.

Letter I like this song too, but it's so forgettable. Like when someone with a very complicated name introduces herself / himself to you, and you like forget their name in 7 seconds, but 30 times worse.

reminds me - YES, THIS IS WHAT I WANT. Give me upbeat rock songs! Her vocals are PERFECT in this! Though the 'lalala's' at the end makes me wonder whether she had enough inspiration for the lyrics or not. BUT NONETHELESS, it's very good!

Return Road - THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG FROM THE WHOLE ALBUM! Everything is so epic, I ADORE the chorus! Then the soft part, which is awesome too. Then the CHORUS AGAIN, YES! Then the weird break or something, piano smashing, Timmy chanting. Not liking that, but it grew on me, since I wanted to (@(%*%(@)@)@ whenever I heard Timmy chant during that beautiful song. This was my most anticipated song too (I overplayed the preview + PV preview), so therefore I was terribly disappointed with the Timmy chanting. Ah whatever. AND WHAT I ALSO ADORE is ayu's 'Yeah, yeah' so freaking amazing! DO WANT!

Tell me why - Wouldn't ever expect this to be an ayu song. So weird and different. nah, Not liking it.

-now it all gets boring-

a cup of tea - not my cup of tea.

the next LOVE - Hmmm.. This is very very very interes.. no get it out of my face now.

Eyes, Smoke, Magic - see 'the next LOVE'.

Serenade in A minor Deserves a D-.

how beautiful you are - AH beautiful song! Love the arrangement (GOOD JOB JIMMY). I also love the chorus, really appealing background voice! (Though I'd rather had have someone correcting ayu's English on some words).

I think ayu meant that we literally had to get drunk during the first track (Party queen) -on a Saturday night-. I can see how being in an altered state can make 'the next LOVE and Eyes, Smoke, Magic' seem like MASTERPIECES. Might try it.
