Those of us who waited: What do you think now?

I'm one of those people that chose to wait until I had received my copy of MY STORY before listening to it. I got it yesterday and after a few listens, I have to say that I am pretty disappointed. I was really excited about many of the songs, but now I'm kinda like BLEH... The only new songs I really like are ABOUT YOU, Liar, Walking Proud, HONEY, and Kaleidoscope. My Name's WOMEN did not measure up AT ALL. Songs like HOPE OR PAIN, HAPPY ENDING, Replace, and winding road are difficult for me to like. It's a lot more boring pop than I was expecting. I was kinda hoping that she would have had more songs like Liar or GAME. I hate to know now that I have another Ayu album that has skipable songs on it. Memorial Address was a huge step from RAINBOW imo, but MY STORY is a huge step down. I have to give it props for pretty packaging though - the cover and booklet are lovely. And the DVD is enjoyable, even if I'm not too crazy about the new PVs. The Making Of's were fun to watch. I'm really intrigued about that swing scene from Carols. Was that in there?

Anyway, for those of you who also waited, what's your review?
