Rate the new songs!

So we basically have the entire album now (and not even the album title yet). Let's rate the songs! After the album's released we can rate them again and see if our opinions have changed.

For now:

XOXO - 5/5
Angel - 5/5 (I'm sorry but that high pitched note at the end slays me)
Lelio - 4/5
Terminal - 3/5 (sounds like a stretched-out remix tbh)
What is forever love - 5/5
NOW & 4EVA - 3/5

Favorite: What is forever love

Hello new me - 5/5
Pray - 2/5
Feel the love - 4/5
Merry-go-round - 5/5


Amazing album. <3

Yeah, it's just unfortunate that even though I like half of LOVE again, the other half are so snooze-inducing and heavy it affects my entire opinion about it.

Lelio - 5/10 i can listen to that, actually....
What is forever love - 4/10
Merry-go-round - 8/10
Terminal - 2/10 (absolute crap.... i couldn't get through the whoe song, borring as hell, 1.5 for the vocals cuz Ayu sounds nice & 0.5 for chorus which is like the most decent thing in the whole song) i don't think i will listen to it ever again and i hope she never works with him again either. At least not for an original album.
XOXO - 4/10 good for fooling around, could serve as a background music.
Feel the love - 3/10 3 only for the melody the rest is bad
Hello new me - 7/10
Angel - 8/10 would have given it a 10, but it is a bit repetetive. However to me tis is the best out of the ones we didn't hear in full. Together with NOW & 4EVA.
NOW & 4EVA - 8/10
Pray - 8/10

i'd take Party queen and LOVE again over this anytime but i'm just gonna wait untill she goes experiment with something better haha >D

I give everything 5 out of 5 except
Lelio: 3/5 the song is cool, but her voice is exceptionally annoying
Pray: 2.5/5 boring and extremely typical
Angel: 3.5/5 It was going somewhere with the slow dubstep breakdown during the chorus, but it was still really boring. Idk it's not just enough.

XOXO - 3,5-4/5: Great song. Cute, lovely... awesome. Love it. Will save it for a single ladies drunk night.

Angel 3/5: I think it's a very lovely song, but I wonder for how long I will be able to listen to it.

Lelio - 5/5: I just need to listen to this one every day.

Terminal - 3,5-4/5: Gotta love Armin. This song is pretty badass, and something so new from Ayu! You can't say something awful about it. Won't buy it.

What is forever love - 3,5-4/5: Same as XOXO. Loving it. Great to sing along at a special moment.

NOW & 4EVA - 3/5: very typical sound.

Hello new me - 2/5: I just... no. This is so not me. Too... yeah, nah.
Pray - 2,5-3/5: I am so done with very slow ballads, but Pray has beautiful lyrics. It deserves chances to be loved.
Feel the love - 3/5: I heard this song too much.
Merry-go-round - 5/5: I heard this song too much as well, but still loving it.

Merry-go-round is my winner. Followed by Lelio. The rest is amazing too.
Such a promising album, I hope everyone could agree with that.

Feel the love - 3.5/5
I like it from the first time I heard it and it's really enjoyable, but I got bored of it really quick. Remixes are much better.

Merry-go-round - 3.5/5
It could be one of my favourite songs from Ayu, but VERBAL's rap ruined everything The beginning/bridge and verses are beautiful but the rest... no.

Pray - 4/5
The song is very beautiful and amazing but a little too long. And forgetable. And Ayu had too many ballads recently so I just got tired of them, though I know it can really grow on me but I need some time and Ayu has to stop making tons of ballads... we'll see

Hello new me - 3/5
Like I said - too many ballads. Typical Ayu ballad, but still nice.

XOXO - 2/5
Chorus somehow reminds me of some songs in between 2007-10. Dunno why. I'm a little disapointed after hearing the full version. Verses seem to be taken from Pitbull/J.Lo stuff

Terminal - 5/5
I just want to plug my speakers in and set the volume/bass/treble to full. And I want to buy even better speakers. Ayu's vocals could be a little softer (like in her earlier songs) but she still sounds amazing. And that "Kimi ni~"...

Angel - 4/5
Her voice can be a little annoying sometimes ("angiooooooh~Oooooooh~Oooooooh~") but it's a strong song and you can feel the emotions put in it. I just want to scream the chorus even with the "OoooooohOooooohOooooooooooh~", haha

Lelio - 5/5
I never thought Ayu would sing a song like this one but sometimes I wished she would. I think I played this song about 10 times in a row, and that's sick O.o

What is forever love - 4/5
The piano beginning is beautiful, and I love how Ayu's whispering words ^^ Nice duet with Naoya. I'd give it 5 however, but I'm almost sure I'll get bored of it.

NOW & 4EVA - 4/5
This album is full of nice beginnings, LOL. Chorus just screams "typical Ayu song", but I like it. I want to see Yo-chan playing guitar solo to this *^*

Overall, you can love this album or hate, but you have to admit it's a long waited refreshment after "Love songs", "FIVE", "Party Queen" and (especially) "LOVE again". And yes, after this album Ayu should change her direction again and make another "GAME" or "Talkin' 2 myself".
Ok I'm done, now I'm just gonna play "Terminal" one more time 'cause I'm already addicted to it and I'm going to bed. Oyasumi nasai~ ^^
