Love songs previews opinions

[CHE.R.RY]

From the download thread:

Ok insomnia sounded like a solid interlude so I think I will be able to appreciate it after all (even though I was hoping for another dark, grungy, and edgy rock song). sending mail sounded like something from ASFXX era...it was odd. Then again, Love song sort of sounded like ASFXX material too imo.
And I am almost positive that I am NOT going to like Thank U...Ayu's cutesy vocals in that song sounded dreadful...especially accompanied with her vibrato . Plus, the song sounded pretty generic to me .

So what do you guys think so far?

EDIT: Now that the rest of the previews have linked...

like a doll - Not bad sounding...this is one of those songs I kind of need to listen to all the way to give an opinion.
Aria - Sounds beautiful like montage .
overture - Weird...it really did sound like a piece from an RPG.
do it again - Erm...Idk how am I feeling about this one. It sounds really repetitive o.o...and I don't like when Ayu sings english all that much.
November - It sounded like a solid ballad, I might actually like this one.


Ok guys, honestly this is the first album I've been a little worried about from listening to the previews...I need to listen the whole thing in its entirety before I can give a fair judgment but I'm honestly not really feeling it from the previews so far . I was kind of hoping it wasn't gonna have that old-school sound to it like MOON/blossom and crossroad, but that's what it sounds like to me so far...I mean those songs are alright, but they're not as fun as some of Ayu's more recent material. Maybe it's just that this album has a greater level of maturity from Ayu that I'm just not accustomed to who knows. But either way, I will still support Ayu even if I am unsatisfied with this album.

it's ok so far,,imo,,,
waiting 4 the HQ,,,

[YuriChan]

sending mail- OMG!! It's my favorite track so far!
insomnia- It's like Marionette -prelude- had a baby! <3
Thank U- Ehh... I would have to hear it in HQ to fully appreciate this song. ^_^

For an album called Love songs, I was expecting a bunch of ballads and slower songs, but all the new songs sound AMAZING. And only three interludes (unless Thank U is one)! Considering that all the songs we already have (except Sweet Season) are incredible, this album is clearly going to be her best since Secret, if not (miss)understood. So excited for this now!

[terra]

Are there 4 Interludes I heard? O_o because I only heard cheering on Thank U (maybe the same with do it again)

-sending mail = Really like her ASfXX-style song
-insomnia = Great dark interlude although I expect dark rock song
-Like a doll = Reminds me of her LOVEppears-Duty material
-Aria = Good violin piece
-Thank U = I hope it's not a cheerful ver. of Jump =_=
-do it again = I'm surprised it's not an upbeat track instead a mysterious one!
-Overture = After Aria now this, I feel like playing some sort of RPG game
-November = Epic track for me so far

Is it just me or this whole album was quiet 'heavy' on most part? I mean the materials on it.
She's like leaning into certain style these days, unlike her previous albums which always had mix styles (there are distinctive sounds but not as distinctive as on RnRC or Next Level) imo. Not that I'm dissappointed

MOON - blossom - crossroad - SDW - Virgin Road - Sweet Season - Love song seems to have the same mixture albeit different 'colors'

Maybe I'll have a better opinion after I listen to the whole album

EDIT:
This album is a SOLID album imo, like Memorial address~MY STORY~Secret~m(u)
and yes I've been repeating the previews over and over again

[roanmy]

I like ALL the previews so far... A LOT!

Though I still maintain that she's ripping herself off with Thank U, it sounds just like HONEY in my ears. xD

[YuriChan]

Like a doll= It's like Marionette and Dolls had a baby <3
Aria= Reminds me of Friends from the B'z album Friends!
Thank U= The intro reminds me of everlasting dream (thank god it's not an interlude! )
overture= For some odd reasons, I could use this for FF9!
do it again= Last angel ~episode 2~ anyone?
November= I would have to hear the full song to appreciate this song. ^^

[Mirrorcle Monster]

sending mail: remebrances of Mirrorcle World
insomnia and kind of weird
Like a doll: sounds good, like it
Aria:why an interlude? at least sounds good
Thank U: soounds like MY ALL, it could be good
Overture: so finally three interludes, it sounds good
do it again: sounds strange...but her voice is too awsome
November: sounds good, not what i expected

I hope thw full thing becomes better...

[Ayu_desu]

from the previews, the tracks sound very generic... I'll just wait for HQ
also, 'sending mail' sounds a lot like Namie's old music. reminded me of 'Body feels EXIT'

[roanmy]

^Seriously? =p

[Aditmi Krisnasaki ~II~]

so far I gave this album a score 3.5/5

interludes are amazing, but some new songs suck, like sending mail or November, and ayu's singing technique in Love song is totally weird (omg i keep saying this in every thread ==').

[AyUmIXx]

so far i like Love songs album songs preview..
all songs are so nostalgic..i like them
can't wait to hear full version..
so far, i like love song, do it again, sending mail, thank U..
can't wait for full album!!

[Tony G]

Is Thank U a song or interlude? It sure sounds like an interlude to me.. which makes it up to 4 interludes here.

The standout preview is November, sounds very promising! Like a doll sounds really good too.

Not sure about do it again...

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Thank U is a song.

It has multiple chorus' and melodies.

[chestergringo]

The only that i don't like was Thank U, the others are great!!!! I love so much the song Do it Again and Sending Mail

[hidekirby]

Errr.... I really don't know what to think.
The arrangements sound pretty old and cheap. It can add some nostalgia to the songs but I'm afraid it is just cheap.

A lot of choruses sound very repetitive and bland, and that feeling is even underlined by the lyrics sometimes ("do it again". I wish she could stop it in fact!). I just hope that the choruses were randomly selected and the other ones are not like that.

It's very rare when I prefer the singles over album tracks. As I don't really like crossroads, I hope I'm wrong.

The positive point is that the whole seems really coherent and it's really rare with ayu's albums nowadays.

[[taskin.ayu]]

The songs all have this similar feel to each other... kinda like a gothic pop? Or.. something that reminds me of palace ballrooms and such. XD

Sending mail kinda reminds me of a TRF song... hope the full song sounds better. xD It's sounds kind of dated too.

Like a doll's chorus is a bit plain, but I like when she says "Like a doll" at the end, song might end up being amazing.

Thank U sounds like a song for concerts only, hence the LALALA and repeat. Dunno what to think yet. XD

Do it again.. now THIS I LOVE. It's really dramatic sounding, like it's going to build into something really strong. Sounds like a really promising song, can't wait.

November, not what I was expecting, but alright.... XD

Sad there's no typical Ayu style dark rock song, but I guess it wouldn't suit the album theme? :/ I like the insomnia interlude, but the other ones all sound similar.

I do like what I'm hearing though, I'm pleasantly surprised still.

[Freex]

The previews are quite interesting, but for this (epic) album I need the full-length music tracks =)

.sending mail = catching rhythm and melody, nothing so fresh or innovative but still fine
.insomnia = interesting interlude, with gloomy atmosphere; it's a pity that is linked with only one song
.Like a doll = fine song, i have to listening to it more
.Aria = good interlude, it has something to say
.Thank U = too sugary for my personal music tastes =D
.Overture = really good intro, so epic! i really like it
.do it again = well in this case I really need the full-length track, but the melody is ok
.November = interesting track, I don't understand why it isn't after insomnia/like a doll; however, I like it

[waterballoon]

Holy ****.

This might be like her best album since (miss)understood for me... omg.

sending mail: Okay seriously.. I love this song it's just so... LOVEppears omg sklajskljausudjasd

insomnia: gives me a Marionette -prelude- vibes but even creepier; LOVE the ascending vocals

Like a doll: omg again <3 something LOVEppears about this song love it so much too

Aria: omg so cutie it's like we're stepping into paradise!!

Thank U: Dunno about u guys, but i LOVE this song. The lalalas are so cute and the melody is reli cute i just love this too

overture: sounds like a part 2 to Aria, nice music going on

do it again: OKAY, this imo is like the BEST album track all right. like okay, I thought it's gonna be some cheesy Humming 7/4 **** but NO it's a slow track i was like, "What?!" something aobut the chorus reminds me of TVXQ's Bolero... like so mellow and beautiful omg. <3

November: this actually is my least favorite album track based on the previews lol.. the sounds in the back are interesting though.. need a full version to know more~

**** I love this album.

but tbh, Aria and overture aren't interludes I would listen to often

[AyUmIXx]

^ yea! "do it again" is very unexpected!
but who knows it's gonna be another different feel~~
