6. SWEETEST TABOO
7. OUTTA MY HEAD
8. WHO
9. ALL RIGHT
10. NEVER ENOUGH

Only the jump from WHO to ALL RIGHT that is a little rough, but the rest goes very nicely.

Wow! I just listened to it in this order and can't get over how much it improved the experience! Shifting tracklists around is something I am all for with certain artists. This is probably going to be how I'll listen to it from now on.
Why did they have a different track order anyway?

I still have to look deeper into all of them, but I actually think she pretty much tells a story with the lyrics of this album, more or less with some songs.
Living her life just in the moment, falling in love (PARTY - GOT ME GOING') realizing, that she was dependent on a man and society (WHO), breaking up and trying to cope with it (OUTTA MY HEAD) getting on track again (NEVER ENOUGH - ALL RIGHT), having it processed finally (BRAIN) and being the master of her own life in the end and not following society's rules (IT'S MY LIFE).
Imo it's the closest she's ever been to a concept album.

AAhhh, this is an interesting look at it.
Are there translations out already that we can dissect to see how thorough this concept could be?

No, fully only in Japanese so far.

(March 04)

It's pretty insane with Ai no Uta.
Since end of December it's charting on the daily Spotify Japan chart pretty much everyday.
(and I still wonder why it's so popular among the Japanese)
