After 2 listens each I can give an opinion, but I won't do a track by track review as it still is too fresh.

I do love outside a lot! I had some worries with the previews, but most of the tracks are strong.
The weakest on outside definitely is Heartless and probably Ultraviolet. Other than that I like every song.
Insane is surprising. I suspected this song to like the least. The lyrics are a bit.. well, insane, but they are like a comment on how crazy this world is or that you should go crazy to stand it.
Overall most of the songs progresses in ways I don't expect them to and that's a strong point for the whole album. And it is produced really well as well.
And I laughed so much at the end with Cupcake and the cat meowing, that really amuses me. xD

Inside has some weak (or better generic) tracks I don't fathom. Stand by you and Kimi Omoi mainly. Probably will never listen to those songs (well, already never listen to Kimi Omoi, lol).
But songs like Promise you, Yorokobi no Kakera and BRIDGET SONG are outstanding. Also really like What's Up, that's the pop-rock song I want from her.
And My fun - well, it is different for Kuu and it's sweet she uses her son and his friends on it, but it does sound a bit strange with the kid's voices.
But perfect ending song and maybe I gonna get used to it.

Overall strong lyrics on both albums with some exceptions.
