I don't see why this should be a better LOVE again. LOVE again was also boring because of the amount of ballads but the compositions and arrangements were way more creative.
Well, I think she's just doing whatever feels comfortable to her atm music wise and she doesn't care if the outcome is great from an artistic point if view. Personally I think that's sad but if it's what makes her happy...

TBH as much as I agree with you about the album being boring, I feel like she does think this album is artistically great... which scares me a bit lol. This is a sound she has kept crawling back to since Love songs. It hasn't worked at all since IMO, and even Love songs didn't really age well looking back on tracks like Like a doll. >_> From an artistic standpoint, I still feel like this album really lacks an identity.
As weird as it feels saying it, I actually think this album might be worse than LOVE again for me. I'm gonna give it more time to settle, but honestly, it's pretty much a case of hate vs. apathy lmao. I despise LOVE again, but at least it's not so bland that I can't feel SOMETHING at all toward it. As bad as it was, it had at least SOME tracks that I think are objectively pretty decent Ayu songs and feel true to her sound and artistry. A ONE has nothing that stands out above mediocrity for me... It's all just washed-out and forgettable stuff she's done time and time before. :\
