Cohesive tracklists

[thinkingoutloud89]

17 years, hundreds of songs and as many fans who complain about the flow of each Ayumi album. With this thread I want to provide you with alternative tracklists for each album that conveys the sound you expect by looking at the Cover/title. Every Ayu song will be used, but only once.

I still need some help - no album is finished yet, but all of them will be presented here. Below the spoiler "current mess" you can see my progression. Feel free to give advices.

So I tested my Party Queen tracklist and I'm happy with the songs included and also with the decision to keep SLT for RnRC. I think the flow could still be twisted but I have to listen to it more often.

Cool idea! I'll have to think about this.

Hah! I've been rearranging A ONE but I can't find anything I like. How another section with rearranged songs but keeping the same songs in an album?

I did that with NEXT LEVEL back when it came out, which was, oh god that was 6 years ago. I don't remember my arrangement at all besides Load of the SHUGYO being the album opener and Curtain call remaining the last song. But I can't be bothered to try and replicate it because I love the way the album's arranged now.
