Besides "Anything for You" and "Walk" there is not much on "A ONE" that I would truly want to listen to more than once or twice.
"WARNING" for example is the epitome of loudness. Feels like Ayu is yelling at me all the time, but why would she do that? Rockish songs like "Because of You" perfectly work without excessive shouting. The kick-bass in "WARNING" is really hurtful if you listen to your music with in-ears. "NO FUTURE", "Last minute" and "The Show Must Go On" aren't any better. Loud, distorted and excessive with no real substance. "Tell All" is basically the same. It's Original mix was unbearably noisy, the Album mix is a tad better, regarding the instrumental.
All in all I can say that I have tried but "A ONE" still feels like a torture to listen through in full.
