Loveappears or Duty?

Okay, so I have some extra money, plus a $5 coupon for YesAsia, and so I'm gonna get one of Ayu's older CDs. But I can't decide if I should get "Loveappears" or "Duty". What do you guys think?

Thanks

LOVEppears, because I don't like the songs on Duty all too much. However, I'm sure that public opinion, and not mine, will say that Duty is awesome. It was, after all, her best selling original CD. Also, Duty has less songs than LOVEppears, so it depends how many songs you want.

Get Loveppears because it is more expensive and u have an 5 coupon so you can save alot of money. Duty is cheaper so you should get that later. But if you don't really care about how much either one of them cost then get Duty since Duty is my fav ayu album.

Duty. It is, I think, one of her best albums.

Duty, hands down. That album is a masterpiece and almost like a best collection. It has SEASONS which in itself makes it an automatic MUST BUY.

LOVEppears...

The album tracks for Duty seem kind of dull and repetitive, though I've never heard both albums completely, LOVEppears seems better...

Both are really good, LOVEppears if u like pop, Duty if u want more 'rock', basically more guitars. u should have a listen to some samples too from the albums to decide. LOVEppears also has some good remix extras too on disc 2. LOVEppears might be a little bit more expensive but given the number of tracks it has, it's probably true to say its cheaper than Duty.

Definitely DUTY, with masterpieces and classics like "M", "SEASON", "TEDDYBEAR" and the all time fan favorite "DUTY" can make you go crazy for the album.

LOVEppears is a good album too but it didn't live up to my expectations, at least for me.

LOVEppears has always been my favorite album of all time from her, with Fly High, Boys & Girls, To Be, Whatever, PS II, Monochrome, especially Immature and Appears. Duty was really good too, but I never liked it as much.

If you want an upbeat/fun CD, LOVEppears.
If you want a masterpiece CD, Duty.

it depends on what kind of music you're into.

LOVEppears has a more pop/dance vibe, and the bonus CD has megamixes/promotional materials (cm's and stuff...or something, i forget :X). it's a very manufactured sound.

Duty is more rock/edgy, with a few exceptions (audience, endless sorrow).

I like "Duty" more but "LOVEppears" has the extra disc with remixes and dvd-rom stuff.
