If not, congratulations, you have the complete Colours album and you can start spamming it guilt-free. Just treat it as an early online release that is available a month before, what's wrong with that?
I like how Angel goes right after Pray because yes, it is somewhat like a ballad. And Angel and Terminal going together is like one of the coolest transitions in terms of lyrical content and titles.
I have a feeling they wanted a 10-track listing on the CD and DVD. LOL...i noticed she used to have 14 as the number

First off, there's a difference between NO interludes and FOUR. At least an introduction track would've been good, then there'd be no complaining.
Yes those 6 new songs are the "new songs", but as LUOYUXIANG described so vividly, releasing the songs so early but not the cover title and art makes it seem like a disjointed, incomplete project. As opposed to the album feeling like a new "era" it just seems like a random release of songs.
Also, Hello new me, Pray and Angel are ballads, yes, but sticking them at the first half of the album is a bad flow, like BALLAD and Sunset being at the beginning of Rock'n'Roll Circus. You start the album off with energy, then 2 tracks later you go into slow ballad mood for 20 minutes. You don't need to stick all the ballads together.
Angel > Terminal is a great flow, though. Track list would've been really good with Pray after NOW & 4EVA for me. Not that it matters too much, I play albums on random anyway, but they could've improved the track list.
This album somehow makes me appreciate Namie's FEEL even more haha.

There's always something to complain about, it doesn't mean someone isn't happy about a release if they criticize a part of it. That's what a forum is for, discussing different views and opinions of something you're interested in.
