I love Wake me up. It has everything. Sexiness, Power, and a kick-you-in-your-face chorus. I also enjoy Missing, another song with a nice kick-it-up-a-notch chorus. However, most of the new songs on LOVE again fail to deliver in that regard. Once the chorus comes along, it's just so watered down. I like songs that make me feel like this during the verses: and this during the chorus: (O_O). These songs make me feel content with the verses, but lose me when the chorus comes in.

I don't mean to be a sour puss, I really don't. But the word masterpiece is being thrown around a lot and I just have to bite my tongue...

I miss songs like 1LOVE, Microphone, is this LOVE?, GAME, About You, my name's WOMEN, Moments, JEWEL, talkin' 2 myself, Naturally, I Am..., Duty, Endless Sorrow. Those tracks that sound like they were just born perfectly - that you couldn't improve on the final product even if you tried.

Although there are many songs I disliked at first for similar reasons (failing to deliver on the chorus) [Sending mail, November, Sweet Season, Last angel, BALLAD, fated] but I ended up cherishing and/or obtaining a like to, so hopefully that is the case for me once again.
