It's nice to let me short hair down (How...?) and enjoy all the songs, especially 'B&D'. I think the PV is what made me hate it, but without the PV I love it!! My evil twin sister hates me for liking it, but I told her we all have different music taste, and what's wrong with having fun every once and a while (She listens to emo, indie, and pretty much anything that is the opposite of fun)? She hates me for loving 'Bold & Delicious' and the album as a whole. But so what, we're all allowed to like stuff and dislike stuff, it's a matter of taste.

^Yep don't care for what your sister thinks, you have your own tastes and that's what matters. I don't like a lot of the music my brother likes and he also hates a lot of the music I listen to. I guess that helps us having our own individuality ehehe.

Here's my thoughts on the album.
I'm still trying to get used to the arrangement of the album, the songs don't run together too well at all. Bold & Delicious - Shouldn't have been the opening! No no no no ayu ayu ayu ayu not not not not good good good good. XD -dies- ending anyone? I think it might have went well as an ending or maybe she should have put it in the middle. STEP you - Ahh everyone loves STEP you and I do too. Ladies Night - I absolutely LOVE this song. It reminds me of Tommy February 6 too. is this LOVE? - I never liked this song. It's too boring for me. (miss) understood - I like it but it reminds me of i am . . . and Memorial Address too much and they're both titled after the album aswell. =/ Still a good song though. Alterna - My fave! <3 The only thing is the album version is WEIRD. In the Corner - T.T The worst song on the album. The start sounds promising but when she gets to the chorus: BLAND. Tasking - A lovely interlude. The only bad thing is it starts after "In the Corner". Criminal - Ahhh this song is LOVE. I love the distorted instruments in the instrumental it reminds me of something Gackt would compose. Pride - I like this song, it's average. If the PV was better i'd like it more. Will - One of the better songs on the album. I'm glad it doesn't have a PV actually because it keeps it's mystery about it. HEAVEN - A nice ballad but overated. The only bit I love is the breathing sounds/humming before "lalalalalala". Are You Wake Up? - Crappy title. XD Nice. But the dude saying "GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME." (if that's what it is) in a weird american accent FREAKS ME OUT. fairyland - YAWN. Another boring song. Beautiful Day - I can't like or hate this song. There's something about it I like yet I don't like. O.o;; It's confusing. Rainy Day - I love this song! It fits well as an ending aswell. Overall it's a decent album. The arrangement sucks though and it has forgettable qualities. Not to mension the ugly covers. >.<;;

My new "let-your-hair-down" review:
00.SIGN on - I made thing new, weird intro using this 5 minute intro music for Windows. It sounds like weird electronic Enya music or something. It's pretty cool, because it completely contrasts with the real intro. 01.Bold & Delicious - Hahaha. How did I not love this song? It's so stupid and fun, how can anyone hate it? It's really enjoyable once you shut up about composition and anything deep in the music. It's pure fun. I love this song!! 02.STEP you - It doesn't seem as fun after 50 replays, but it's still an amazing song with great lyrics about some dellusional/determined woman. I love the chorus. Sooo catchy. 03.Ladies Night - I hated the sample, liked the full song, hated the redundancy. After seeing the PV, all this song makes me think of is Butterfly Lady and Ayumi with funny clothes and that crazy elephant. I love this song, it's madness. The 'Fly high' part is really cool. I love this song. ^-^ 04.Is this LOVE? - Nothing much to say about this except I love this power ballad and the clarity in Ayu's voice in the verses. I'll know I'll replay it far too much. 05.(miss)understood - Meh, another annoying psuedo-rock thing. Yuck. But this song's sort of growing on me. I like the bridge, but the chorus seems really bleh to me. 06.alterna - Oh, everyone likes this song and I'm no exception. Who cares if she gets stuck in the vacuum for her 'hey come on', it's still an amazing song. Once again, I'll play this song too often. 07.In the Corner - Everyone seems to hate the simple arrangment of this song, but I can't stop listening to it. Sometimes a little simplicity is nice. It doesn't really go anywhere, but who really cares? 08.tasking - Awesome interlude, but it reminds me too much of 'In the Corner' with all the string nonsense. Still, another good interlude. 09.Criminal - This song just can't grow on me. It's too depressing. I can take ballads, but this thing just drags on forever. I like the Yuta Nakano (Did half of Shimatani's H&S arrangement) bridge. But that bridge is so awkward. It does remind me of 'still alone' but that didn't drag on like this... 10.Pride - Another song I just don't like. Strange how I hated B&D but thought this was ok, now I hate this and love B&D. This song is so bleh, and sorry Ayu, it doesn't remind me of Phantom of the Opera (See interview). None of the arrangment really seems to work, in my opinion. 11.Will - Well, looks like I found the 'Bad Three' to skip for this album. It's nice that CREA did something for this album's music, too bad I don't like it. The chorus really bothers me, so repetitive. 12.HEAVEN - I love this ballad, it's pretty powerful, even with the super rushed sounding arrangment. This song makes me want to see SHINOBI. I don't really like the lyrics though. 13.Are You Wake Up? - I LOVE this interlude, it's so fun. Perfect lead-in to fairyland. I can't stop playing this song!! It wouldn't really work out if it was extended, it'd turn out like the absolutely terrible live 'flower garden'. o_o; 14.fairyland - This song always reminds me of summer (Duh, the lyrics, but besides those). I still kind of hate the chorus in the song as a whole because it's so awkward, but it's grown on me a lot. 15.Beautiful Day - Yes, gasp in amazement, even this has grown on me. It really reminds me of Gwen Stefani or some song I've heard a milion times before, but it's a nice song. Better than the awful 'winding road'. 16.Rainy day - Beautiful ballad. I finally noticed the thunder and rain sound effects in the intro and outro. Now I don't have to buy the single since I'm buying this album. Hurray. Wow. What can I say? Sorry for hating it so much with the separate pieces, but as a whole it's very nice. I think it ties with MY STORY because even with its flaws, it has more fun songs, and I love fun songs. The fun first three songs really convinced me to try the rest of the album. I can't wait to buy this in March. ^-^

Make you own (miss)understood magazines reviews!
for those who had already listen to ayu's album.put your reviews here. make it like something outta a magazine, then give your rating from 1 to 10. it could be a guide to other people like me who had not heard the album.
you can make it in a format like album: (miss)understood album artist:Hamasaki Ayumi label:avex reviews:ayumi has another outstanding album again. you can expect.... grade:9/10

I think there's already a thread where fan-reviews have been posted, though that thread wasn't specifically made for reviews
 , it's something like "what do you think of (miss)understood" or "opinnions on (miss)understood"

To me, the only thing bringing the album "down" is the lack of consistency. There are sooo many different styles. I still like this album more than MY STORY because of the song-by-song quality is better IMO.
