NEXT LEVEL album thoughts

[amorphose]

The singles are good (besides for Rule) but the rest of the album is the worst Ayu has ever done. It depresses me to say that, but that's how I actually feel. =\

The songs are so mediocre and I don't see it as a "next level" at all. There were too many interludes. I am so tired of those things. The title track sounds like BLUE BIRD + glitter more than any of her other songs sound like others. EnergizE is annoying. I swear I've heard identity's guitar part elsewhere and the lyrics sound repetivie. LOVE n HATE is okay, but the style is not right for Ayumi and I think it sounds awkward. Curtain call is good, but that's because it was just her voice and piano... And rollin' sounds like it's trying way to hard to be like Sparkle and failing. >_<

I'm just so depressed because I was so excited for new Ayumi material and now I've gotta stick it out til her next new single, which probably won't be until after the tour. x.x
