My Story wasn't a big comeback for her, it was more of the same material. Seriously, does anyone feel this way cuz the whole forum just seems to love this album entirely. I haven't been able to appreciate an Ayu album fully since I am.

Read back on the discussions on the album, there's a boatload of folk that don't like the new album.

I, for one, was very disappointed. I found the new material weak - stale's a good word for it, as well - and fail to see how it's satisfying serious musical needs. Ayu's basically doing the same old trick, and gets worse at it every time she does. I mean, she could at least aim for some consistency, but it seems like we're in a downward spiral.
