Holding out for Love Songs!

So reluctantly I downloaded the singles and watched the PVs.

Then, as a 'present' to us all, Ayu announced that the album would come much sooner than expected. Now I pretty much hate myself for giving in and spoiling it all for myself. Grrr. >.<;

Well I was planning on holding out too but someone recommended I listen to them all as the "singles project" was meant as a trilogy to go with one another and such. Yeah, real big connection they had... (not). But I'm glad I listened to them because at first I wasn't so happy with some of the songs but I love a lot of them now (MOON and Virgin Road have not grown on me at all though). But I am glad I listened to them or I would have been like "EW THIS ALBUM SUCKS!" when it first came out. But my expectations are under control now.

That is true. I wasn't completely sold on any of the songs at first listen, in fact with Ayu songs it's rarely the case when I actually am. I suppose it's nice to know that I'll like most of the album to start with, and the newer songs will probably grow on me with time if I don't like them at first.

I like the idea about not finding out the covers until you get the album. Unfortunately, I don't really have the money on hand to actually order the album right now, so I asked for it as a (probably late) Christmas gift. I'm not sure if I'll actually get the album or not, since I also asked for last year's Countdown DVD to watch on New Year's this year. I don't know if it's a good idea to hold out and just hope that I'll get the album for Christmas, or to give in to my temptation to find out the second the covers are revealed. -shrug-
