Rank the songs and PV's from GUILTY

[Northerner]

Yes, you knew such a thread would have to happen.

SONGS
1. Marionette + the Prelude
2. talkin' 2 myself
3. Mirror (I love this and wish it was longer than 2 minutes!)
4. fated
5. GUILTY
6. Together When...
7. (don't) leave me alone
8. decision
9. untitled ~for her~
10. glitter
11. MY ALL

I didn't rank the two "true" interludes, but I like "The Judgement Day" better than "ReBiRTH."

PV's
1. Marionette
2. Together When...
3. Distance Love (glitter/fated)
4. decision
5. talkin' 2 myself
6. (don't) leave me alone

It was really hard to rank the songs because I love the entire album almost equally --- it's her best since MY STORY and my new favorite!

[No_Doubt]

SONGS LAYDEES:

1.) talkin' 2 myself - Hands-down her best single since her 2005 batch, easily one of her absolute best.

2.) fated - On first listen, extremely bland, but now I find it so sincere and emotional and beautiful and lovely.

3.) glitter - The only non-chainsaw devil music song on the album that isn't saccharinely sweet to a fault. The yeah yeah woah woah ho ho ho's are so cheesy it's painful though.

4.) GUILTY - Terribly underrated. It's simplistic, but it's very powerful, and unlike (miss)understood, it isn't awkward or grating to my ears.

5.) (don't) Leave me alone - Another underappreciated gem. To me, it's essentially 1 LOVE except less monotonous, ...until that Day except more instantly gratifying, and my name's WOMEN, except less plodding and unlistenable.

6.) Mirror - Would be higher if they didn't ruin the marching band beat with heinous alt rock vommit.

7.) Together When... - The obligatory winter ballad. Solid, but surprisingly it grew tiresome and shallow very quickly for me.

8.) Marionette -prelude- - CUTE!!!

9.) Marionette - Should have been a rainy day retread, ended up a criminal clone. I WAS ROOTING FOR YOU, WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU!!!

10.) The Judgement Day - By far my favourite track, but I forgot about it earlier, so obviously I didn't like it that much. So I'll arbitrarily make it #10.

11.) reBiRTH - Pointless, useless.

12.) decision - Lame.

13.) MY ALL - glitter's evil twin. Evil as in putrid.

14.) untitled ~for her~ - Good cure for insomnia.

MUSIC VIDEOS BAYBEES:

1.) fated - SEXCELLENT!!!

2.) Marionette - EMO!!!

3.) glitter - THE WAY SHE LOOKS IN THIS MAKES ME MOIST!!!

4.) talkin' 2 myself - BUTCH!!! Manly man's PV for men, minus the tightly coreographed dance numbers.

5.) (don't) Leave me alone - ENTERTAINING! I love her Posh-bob and her transgrender dancers aren't as annoying as usual.

6.) Together When... - The extras were clearly hit with the fug-stick. Ayu's fake crying is not convincing. Stop smiling while singing a sad song, dolt.

7.) decision - Washed-up soccer mom has-been rocking out.

All in all, worst since MY STORY and my new favourite drink coaster!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought she was rocking the 'soccer mom' hair

[naxxo.licious™]

Hahahaha lolz . No_Doubt your review was hilarious. (and I love New York as well XD!!) Well, i haven't heard the album yet, but i can rate the songs i've heard so far:

*SONGS* (chronological order)

1) glitter (sorry guys.....but i love it. It doesn't go with the album, but as a single i think it was good. But if i was to rate its place in the album, i would give it a 5)
2) fated (so sad as well)
3) talkin' to myself (rock rock rock)
4) decision (IT GIVES ME POWER!!! )
5) Together When... (sorry if some of you think it's boring. To me it's just so emotional and reflects perfectly how ayu feel about her break up with Tomoya)
6) (don't) Leave me alone (again i agree with No_Doubt. His description is magnificient)
7) Marionette (it's good. Maybe i would have liked a much more powerful song cause i love the title, but it's really good after all)

*PV'S*

1) glitter (........i didn't like your wig ayu. But i think it's a cute video. Actually i like it)
2) fated (my favorite pv of this album. Ayu didn't look goregeous as she always does, but hey!! she was about to marry. And the ending was so sad . I really like this pv)
3) talkin' 2 myself (mmmm it was good. I liked the war concept. But maybe i would have liked it to have more substance. Overall it's good)
4) decision (..............i better reserve my comments if i don't want to be banned)
5) Together When (I LOVED the pupets part. But what the hell were you doing in a bench ayu . I like the pv, but it could've been so much better if it had been all about the puppets and the "solitary scenary" (don't know how to call it)
6) (don't) Leave me alone (...............could somebody bring me the fashion designer for this pv please .Anyway, i didn't like it at first. Not that i love it now either. But after reading some interpretations of the pv, it's not that disgusting anymore)
7) Mariontte (i really like it! It was dark enough and it wasn't a hey-i'm-just-dancing-on-a-carousell-non-sense PV. So when i saw it my soul relaxed. But the ending is like WTF??)

EDIT: I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT Mirror!! Great intro which could've been a full song. What a shame

[milky_way]

^ Have you decided to get the OS version?

[naxxo.licious™]

Hihi yes. But i don't know if oyu have seen this topic http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=67870
It seems that the HK version will not come with the photobook, so i may order the Korean version one . Thanks for asking!!

Songs:

1. Mirror - I have no idea why I like this more than any other song. I'm so lame. XD
2. Marionette + Prelude - classical music + hard rock = luff
3. Decision - why am I just about the only person who likes it more than T2M?
4. Talkin' 2 Myself - pretty hardcore. Love it.
5. Together When... - I used to really not like this song at all (found it really lackluster for Ayu), but now the lyrics just touch me so much that I fell in love with it.
6. (Don't) Leave me alone - a bit repetitive, but I really like the beat.
7. Guilty - I personally like (miss) Understood to be better and more powerful, but I like this one a lot, too.
8. Fated - It's pretty nice, but I haven't really gotten into it yet.
9. MY ALL - haha! Funny beat; I like it. But it gets boring to me after a while.
10. Glitter - I won't say it's bad, but I just never really got into it. And I'm not really feeling happy music right now... :/
11. ~untitled~for her - ...I think I'm the only one who really didn't like this song. I found it ridiculously boring. >_<

PVs:

(I can't really remember Distance Love because it's been a while since I saw them... >_<)
1. Marionette - Creeeeepy. And they actually move like dolls! Though I don't understand the end. It's like they're posing for some GAP ad...
2. Together When... - the part with the doll falling and breaking makes me really sad. I think it's the symbolism in this PV that gets me. Though the guy in the taxi seemed way too into watching Ayu stare at dolls...I'm very glad they did not end up together. Ayu can do so much better than that. XD
3. Distance Love - I can't remember much, what from what I do remember it wasn't all that bad. :/ I need to rewatch it.
4. (don't) Leave me alone - The colors were hypnotizing so props to that. And she looked gorgeous. The purple girl who did cartwheels and karate was my favorite. She made me spit out my hot cocoa. XP And the whole thing reminded me of boobahs.
5. Decision - I didn't actually find this PV to be that bad. Sure, it was boring, but she was really rocking. Plus, the part towards end where she thrusts her hand in the air and does a little butt jig makes me laugh every time. I think that might actually make this PV rank #2 instead.
6. Talkin' 2 Myself - ...her hair looked good. ~_^ I didn't quite understand this PV...She should have played soccer with those kids. That would have made for a great PV.

Songs

1) talkin' 2 myself: I was super impressed with this one when it came out earlier this year. Good rock song and good vocals by Ayu. I especially love the lyrics, it was exactly the kind of song I wanted to hear.

2) Marionette + Prelude: Love the music, it's just really good to me.

3) fated: 1st track I heard off this album, and it was so heartfelt to me, so two thumbs up.

4) Together When...: Simply lovely with beautiful lyrics (I love the 1st chorus).

5) Mirror: Love the whole thing and the mix of rock into it. Super cool.

6) The Judgment Day: Cool track.

7) (don't) Leave Me Alone: Suprisingly, I like this song (sorta like a tamer "STEP you", to me).

8) glitter: Not that great of a song for me, but it is pretty catchy and it manages to stick out in mind anyway (the music, at least. I always forget that the song's "glitter" )

9) decision: Good song.

10) My All: Nice song, but it gets boring.

11) Untitled~For Her: Mellow song. Simply "okay" to me, nothing too amazing.

PVs

1) Marionette: #1 hands down, creepy and cool. I love those eye contacts she and her dancers have.

2) talkin' 2 myself: Sick PV. War theme, bruises, dance, rain = 2 thumbs up for me.

3) Together When...: Cute video. I like her hat.

4) glitter/fated: Loved them both!

5) (don't) Leave Me Alone: Suuuppperrr random video. But Ayu looked good in it (the dancers...not so much). I liked it.

6) decision: This was a really boring video for me, even though I still like the song. I was kinda dissapointed.

Overall...A+ to Ayu for the music and the vids. Love them.

Difficult..

[psychic_river]

This based on just the appeal of hearing the songs; I haven't read any lyric translations yet, so my opinion will probably change.

1 Fated - I didn't like this one at first, but it really grew on me after seeing it performed live.
2 Together When - I love it. I love the music, and Ayu's voice in it.
3 untitled ~for her~ - the first time I heard this was in her CDL performance, and the lyrics made me cry. It's a sweet song, but sad.
4 Marionette
5 GUILTY - I like the piano and the chorus;
6 talking' 2 myself
7 decision
8 (don't) Leave me alone
9 MY ALL
10 glitter
11 Marionette - prelude -
12 reBiRTH
13 The Judgment Day
14 Mirror

Really, 4-10, I like them about the same. They're not really my taste, but they're not bad either.

[CHE.R.RY]

I'm gonna rank the album songs and singles separately because I like them equally.

ALBUM SONGS:
1. GUILTY - I just love this song so much! One of Ayu's best songs
2. MY ALL - Such a cute song. It sounds like something from her Duty era.
3. Marionette & Prelude - Very good. I like the air of mystery to these two. I hate that boring electric guitar part though >.<
4. Untitled ~for her~ - This song is growing on me. It's such a meaningful ballad. Very touching as well.
6. (don't) Leave me alone - You know, when I first heard this song it was really cool to me but the more I listen to it the more I realize that it ranks near the bottom of the list.
But I DO like it :3
7. Mirror - I'm still mad at this song cuz it's not a full song but I agree with No_Doubt the heinous rock part is kinda disappointing after we had that awesome march-like thing. Well I barely listen to it but it's probably Ayu's best opening track type of thing.

INTERLUDES:
1. Marionette prelude - Awesome and gives me a very cool image (second interlude to give me an image in my head other than 'Wonderland' which is also another good one!).
2. The Judgement Day - I love it...it's so sinister in the beginning it sorta reminds me of Halloween. And then it gets happy and kind of ruins it.
3. reBIRTH - Nice but almost pointless and sounds WAAAY too much like her 'Task' interludes.


SINGLES:
1. Talkin' 2 Myself - I just love this song. This is among my Ayu rock favs along with 'GUILTY', '(miss)understood', 'Because of You', and 'Alterna'.
2. Together when... - Very pretty. It's a nice song but sometimes it can get boring.
3. Glitter - I didn't like this song that much when I first heard it. But it grew on me and always lifts my spirits up whenever I listen to it.
4. Decision - Pretty good rock song...not one of Ayu's bests but it's still cool.
5. Fated - This song is nice but there's times when I can listen to it and really enjoy and other times when I can't bear it - almost like it's too average and boring. It took a long time to grow on me. I have very mixed emotions about it.

PV's
1. Marionette - Awesome! I loved Ayu's acting, her dancers, the dance, everything! Very very good PV 10/10!
2. Together when... - Follows very close behind 'Marionette' since it too has a very imaginitive and most likely meaningful theme. However, the bench parts were somewhat repetetive and boring.
3. Glitter/Fated distance thingy - Cute...awkward...and somewhat cheesy...but nice anyway.
4. (don't) leave me alone - Awesome randomness as I said when I first saw it xD! However there wasn't much to it although the dancing was pretty amusing. Eh nothing too special though.
5. Talkin' 2 Myself - This PV was ALRIGHT...The dancers did not match and there wasn't much to it but I did think Ayu looked cute in it though :O
6. Decision - Terrible. Probably Ayu's worst PV of all time...

[terra]

My turn...

Songs
01. Mirror
(Well, it's the coolest Intro I've ever heard and it's awesomely gorgeous)

02. Marionette & prelude
(I love Ayu's dark 'colossal' rock things like alterna and kiss o' kill, then this song just grew into me)

03. decision
(From the first time I downloaded it from the single...I was impressed even until now)

04. (don't)Leave me alone
(The techno rock tune again, mesmerized me like she did on until that Day...)

05. talkin' 2 myself
(Another rock dance from Ayu. I love its compositions)

06. glitter
(Honestly guys, even its on the same flavor as fairyland, BLUE BIRD etc, I found this song more cheerful than its predecessors, I love it very much and it's count one of the ost played songs in my iPod)

07. Together When...
(This ballad is splendid. I love the rock style, yet again like nes in No way to say)

08. untitled ~for her~
(This song is another great ballad...I like this better than Secret, and it's sad)

09. The Judgment Day
(I really like this intro. From the creepy tune until it explodes to techno! too bad it's so short)

10. fated
(First, I didn't like fated very much. I found it rather bland, but these days, I started to like it especially the guitar part)

11. MY ALL
(I think it's Replace's style 'copycat' but not very. I love the lyric, honest and empowering. Like Ayu's message to us!)

12. GUILTY
(I only like the opening dark part, but the chorus lacks of climax's tune)

13. reBiRTH
(Just another transition song)

PV
01. Marionette -> Awesomely done!
02. Together When... -> Great
03. talkin' 2 myself -> OK, not bad
04. (don't)Leave me alone -> Ayu is so cool in here, but the dancers' costumes was...)
05. fated -> So-so
06. decision -> Even more so-so
06. glitter -> I didn't like this PV so much, as it never displayed summer friendship (well I like that) and the happiness. Where's the dance? only ate noodles for dinner!?

Wow, different from my review of the album but after watching some of the pvs they definitely boosted up their ranking. I really love this album it has a bit of everything!
