I guess, I'm just happy this is at least reminiscent of the quality of work she should be releasing. It's not 100%, but at least I feel it as "HAMASAKI AYUMI" and that's enough to give me hope and make me happy. It's the start of her getting back her groove, and that's the most thrilling aspect of the whole album. It gives hope and shows promise for the future.

Oh ya I completely agree- I made those same comparisons too. Its just that although they are in the same vain as those songs I think they still sound good and are catchy. My point was more that the songs I think are good are still just songs that have a similar sound as others in her discography.
It is good that none of it is bad. But one thing about her is that I got into her fandom because each album had some new offerings and got me into her. so creative and it really drew you in. We can all have subjective opinions, but not for a second would this album make any kind of wave to attract the attention of anyone whos not already a fan. Which as a fan I do want because ayu as an artist is about that original take on things. Or at least be catchier than anyone else.
