Your Love Songs reviews!!!

[Zeke.]

I enjoy Like a doll too. There are a lot of parts in these songs that I absolutely love, which makes me like/love the songs. In Like a doll, it's the soft plucking of the harp during the verses before the bridge! Do it again has the flutes during the verses. November has the dramatic ending climax. Sending mail has the rocking out part at the end and during the last repetition of the chorus when you can really hear the drumroll down. OMG, I love that part.

[Zeke.]

I just want to mention something here, as I don't know where else to bring it up. Some time ago, a certain user (I don't remember who) mentioned something about Ayu's music (I think perhaps during R'n'R release). It was one of the most touching quotes I have ever read from a fan regarding Ayu and went something like Ayu releasing music they generally wouldn't want, hope for or expect for her to release, but somehow turning out to be something they've always wanted. I wish I could find that quote! For some reason I think it might have been jbrat2219 because I somewhat recall that avatar along with the post.

Is it weird that I'm not as impressed with other recent releases because subconsciously I feel they're not at as amazing as Love songs? xD

This happened to me too! Honestly I can't stop listening to love songs over and over again I feel as though lovesongsshould be made into a musical all the songs feel so theatrical but beautiful!

lol this happens with me sometimes. I have to stop myself from comparing her with other artists I like though because she'll always come out on top and make them look bad. her music is just on a whole other level.

[freedreamer]

Im happy to say, Like a doll, Now, is actually really nice to me. A song without a climax sometimes can be really easy to listen to.

[jbrat2219]

I like that guitar in the background during the bridge of Like a doll!

[ayu-fan]

here's my review

Love song:
- this song turned me off the first time i listen because of the yeayy part. i was like wtf, that's so unnecessary lol. but this song grows on me A LOT and now i love it. 9/10

crossroad:
- i used to think this song is boring as hell, but the more i listen to it the more i love it. Thanks to the beautiful arrangement and instrumental this song become one of my most favourite ayu song ever 10/10

MOON:
- i love it since it came out as a single, and i still do. the arrangement is typical but i really like it 8/10

sending mail:
- the opening is really beautiful, and when the chorus kick in BAMM, this is Mirrorcle World part 2 i like it, but ayu's vibrato in the chorus kinda ruined the song for me 7.5/10

Last angel:
- it's really an interesting song, i love the upbeat arrangement, but it's really getting old for me. 7.5/10

insomnia:
- interesting sounding. but that's it 7/10

Like a doll:
- this song is upbeat which i'm not really expecting from ayu. it's catchy but boring at the same time for me. 7.5/10

Aria:
- Gorgeous!! the violin is really beautiful 9/10

blossom:
- i like it! the guitar part is absolutely amazing! i found the arragement is similar to ayaka's melody 8.5/10

Thank U:
- i heard this song once and always skip it when it starts playing in my iPods lol. i can't stand the lalala. but i gotta give the arrangement a prop. it's quite beautiful. 6/10

Sweet Season:
- the song is a hit and miss for me, it can be really boring and beautiful at times lol. Depend on my mood i guess X) 7.5/10

overture:
- EPIC interlude!!! i love it! 9.5/10

do it again: ☆☆☆☆
- the dance dance dance and sing sing sing part were so repetitive and annoying. song is really epic and complex arrangement wise. but those repetitive dragging too long and kinda turn me off lol. 8/10

November:
- crossroad part 2, it's really really beautiful until the chorus comes out and ruined the song T__T. 8/10

Virgin Road:
- i really like it, i mean who doesn't lol. it has a beautiful melody, arrangement, and vocal. and i really love the end part of the PV, they're like total opposite with the music but it fits sooo perfectly 9.5/10

this album is okay i guess, not my favourite ayu album but it has really some interesting songs )

[HEAVEN~Destiny~]

I just can't stop listening to this album! I've been playing it even more since I got the CD+DVD last weekend

My favorites have got to be MOON, blossom, Last angel, sending mail, Virgin Road....
The whole album is LOVE. But blossom has the most plays.

I really love how you could always hear a piano+strings combination for every song. It kinda felt like one really epic acoustic orchestra album! Probably the best Ayu album for me, everything about the album was something I really liked!

[jbrat2219]

^ Sounds like something I would say.

[neuteka]

I wonder if the the quote was somewhere in an Rn'RC thread or something...

[HEAVEN~Destiny~]

I love Love songs. It's my favorite Ayu album EVER. And my fave used to be a tie between MY STORY and Duty. It's just everything I've ever wanted from Ayu.

I'm too lazy, so I'll just focus on the album as a whole, not individual songs.
Every track fit with each other, and like everyone said, it was cohesive. I also loved the piano+strings combination in almost every song.

I love every song in the album, but these songs are the ones I play the most:
blossom (Best ayu song ever!)
sending mail
Last angel
MOON
Virgin Road
The overall concept of this album was amazing. Amazing singles, Epic PV's, Awesome album tracks. Best Ayu era for me

I don't see how everyone thinks November is amazing, but I've been listening to it more.

November has the most amazing strings arrangement out there! It's gorgeous!

This album still remains one of my favorites and probably my favorite since (miss) understood. It took awhile to grow on me at first, but now I love it and am still listening to it frequently.

Well there are a lot of songs on albums since (miss)understood that I love more than most of the songs on Love Songs. But I can't help but feel the same way - overall as an album, this one has to be my favorite since (m)u. Although I never listen to Love song or Thank U because I chose to not include them on the CD when I burned them (I needed room to include Hikki's new songs as well).

I totally agree for example Microphone has got to be one of my top ten maybe even top 5 favorite Ayumi songs ever same with identity and Sparkle, but as an album as a whole, it's very unified and well-done.

[Zeke.]

No way, I didn't include any of the interludes (or Love song and Thank U) on the CD I burned and it flows effortlessly. The transitions between the songs are unbelievable.
