NEXT LEVEL album thoughts

For example, GREEN should have gone after NEXT LEVEL, imo. It would have fit perfectly there. And I really think it was kinda of pointless and silly to put an interlude right after the first song. That kind of ticked me off, to be honest.

I noticed that again last night when I listened to the album again, NEXT LEVEL seemed very out of place where it was, it should be next to GREEN, as the mood of the songs are similar. The tracklist was all over the place for me, and seemed poorly planned out compared to her previous albums.

Not for me. Ayu has happy songs, songs that are angry, songs that have strength, songs that are calming, not just sad songs. When I first heard GREEN a few months ago it was when I had some very sad news and I kept listening to it because it made me calm when I needed to be calm. When I listen to these new style of songs in the first part of NEXT LEVEL I feel nothing from them. They just seem empty of any emotion to me.
