THE introduction
It's alright. Nothing too special. I like how it slowly builds up, though. 6.5/10

Microphone
This is a beast of a song. It's one of the very first Ayu songs I ever heard. I felt like going to iTunes Japan just for the heck of it and this song was no9 or something. Then I was like "oh I know that chick. She sang that sparkle song and dearest". So I downloaded it (from somewhere else) and just fell in love. Nostalgic too (bonus points). 10/10

count down
At first, I found this song to be quite a drag. But then I grew to love its chill piano at the beginning and just the chillness in the song in general. And the chorus is just cool. The breakdown is fun. I don't know, but the song is one of the few songs that fit the 'rock' theme. It works well. Me gusta. 9/10

Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~
I ain't gonna lie, I LIKE this song. It's not a song I choose to listen to, but when it comes on, I never change it. Must be the piano. I'm a piano suck. I also like how Ayu sings the song. It's a shizzy, sappy song. But I like it. I like the chorus long time as well.8.5/10

BALLAD
I love me some angsty ballads. I love me some oriental arrangement. It took a while for this song to click. But when it clicked, it CLICKED. 9/10

Last Links
I hate the acoustic guitar with a passion, but I like this song. The chorus is alright, not good. The arrangement, however, is the shiz. Not the best shiz. But way better than above average. 8/10

montage
Sounds nice. I kinda like it. Sounds weird just before the next song. 7.5/10

Don't look back
The song itself drags, but I love love love the arrangement and melody. 8.5/10

Jump!
They saying "jump!" or "chug!". Lordy, this is a "love like you can't sleep/breathe" thing all over again. I don't even know who sings the "jump/chug" line. At least ayu's english is better. No more "full moon hit me like a log". I'd rather have Hikki, angela aki, or even CK use english in their songs. They sing in english CORRECTLY. 7/10

Lady Dynamite
Hot song. Nothing much I can say. If I wanted a more hotter song, I'd listen to sparkle. Feels like a dumbed down version. 7/10

Sexy Little things
The lyrics are great. The song itself is alright. Nothing too special but I still listen to it even now. 7.5/10

Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~
It's alright. I don't like the chorus. Still better than You & Me. 6/10

meaning of Love
It's a bit shiz. Basic, boring. Wait, it is shiz. I actually forgot how the melody went. I didn't listen to any song on the album for a month, but I remembered every song but this one. 4/10

You were...
I don't know what to say about this song. The chorus can make me cry. I think it's the emotion in the song... Other than the chorus, it's pretty meh. I prefer CAROLS to this (for a winter ballad). Bonus points for the chorus. 7.5/10

RED LINE ~for TA~ [album version]
I can live without this song (still better than You & Me). 5/10

Overall, the album was a sloppy good time. It didn't flow and the Rock concept was a bigger flop than CK's latest album. But what is in the album is great. 7.5/10
