I'm not saying this as a complaint, it's an interesting feature of the album that kept me focused, she plays with the tension and intensity very well. I would have liked a few more songs that instantly stand out and grab you, but I think the songs that didn't do that have potential to still grow on me. My favourite songs were Round and Around, Nightmare (!!!), Sora no Parade, BANQUET, and Don't Let Me Go.
Also, she's only 18 years old? Damn. Good for her that she's making good music at such a young age, I think this is a debut album she'll be able to look back at with pride later in her life.

I totally feel you. She does a subtil and unique rock. Her live in US might inspire her a lot.
BANQUET is one of my favourite too and the pv is just really well-done. If you didn't watch it yet, just do it!
The b-side on her single are great too. If you want them, tell me. I will be happy to share them with you.
About Sora no parade I was a bit afraid when I heard the introduction because I thought the sound was closed to anime song (and as it's an ending...) . But finally she succeeded to inject her style into it.
That's impressive that so young she has such original style. I'm just unable to name one of her inspirations.
