As she's venturing into new sounds, I think she should also loosen up and try to venture into lyrical content that is more unfamiliar to her. I think she should add more unusual words and ideas into her songs, as well as throw in some proper names and places, and maybe make the songs have more of a storyline. She's just too damn indirect sometimes, and she goes from one idea to another and I'm not understanding why. I love the lyrics in 'Secret' though.
- Mediocre instrumental bridges / guitar solos (drowned out?)
- No vocal bridges in the entire album... (This is actually what I thought was great about (m)u. rainy day, Beautiful Day, Pride, B&D - excellent transitions to the final chorus)
- I felt some of the songs ended a bit abruptly.

Well, we should keep in mind that she wrote many of the album tracks in a day... [two or three a day, even!]~ a little after the mini-album announcement, she suddenly had an 'urge' to write.. and songs just came out. At least, that's what the interview tells me, and she probably just wrote from what she was feeling at the time using words familiar to her.
Was there something bad about HAL arranging momentum?
