Going to keep it simple.
01. a Bell
- Nice but another potentially great melody wasted on an interlude.
02. WARNING
- This song has really grown on me since the listening preview and the initial "Oh it's just Microphone again" criticism, dare I say it..this song is better than Microphone?
03. NO FUTURE
- Loveppears meets Love Songs. This is obviously a good thing.
04. Anything for you
- The only really new song for me...the song was slowly sending me to sleep (in the best possible way) until the chorus gently kicked in with the subtle strings like brush strokes.
Finally a ballad that doesn't follow one of the 3 ballad templates in Ayu's personalised copy of Garageband.
05. Last minute
- *skips* No idea how this became a single, Ayu has filler on some of her worst albums that are better than this. Doesn't help that the mixing is terrible and harsh on the ears.
06. Zutto...
- This song has grown on me, I really enjoy the dramatic medieval sounding chorus harking back to the Duty era.
07. Out of Control
- Must be one of the most misleading song titles ever because this song is just as pedestrian as they come.
08. Story
- Can't even muster up an opinion.
09. THE GIFT
- Can't even listen to this all the way through. It's so boring and disappointing considering how much Ayu hyped it up.
10. The Show Must Go On - *wakes out of coma* No words just
11. Walk - Sorry can't even listen to this as The Show Must Go On is repeat but I remember this song from December being boring and unremarkable.
Overall: Pleasantly surprised.
