Well, further emphasizes why "Don't look back" is right smack in the middle... I did a thread about that

lol she has way worse songs than that *looks at the ASFXX album*
I wouldn't say it's one of her best ballads but it's sweet & nice to listen to.

This album is very diverse, it's funny to see some ppl's favorites are ppl's least favorites. I love the meaning of love too. I love all the songs on this album. The interludes are alright.

Best songs for me~ Microphone/Last links/Sunset

i think rock 'n' roll circus is the best album since GUILTY.
All the tracks are nice.
THE introduction - sounds like a transition from NEXT LEVEL.

Microphone -best tune in the album

count down - another more of a rockish tune <3

Sunset~Love is All~ - slow tempo ballad, very soothing.

BALLAD - touching ballad

Last links - i love the strings in the tune. (one of the best tune in the album)

Don't Look Back - bollywood style~~ nice~

montage - sounds like some classical song

JUMP! - a jumpy interlude? with ayu saying JUMP! most of the time.

Lady Dynamite - quite a nice song lol

Sexy Little Things - cutesy electropop <3

Sunrise~Love is All~ - upbeat version of Sunset?

meaning of love - slow ballad quite ok for me~
you were... - my least favourite track on the album, i just cannot relate to it lol.

RED LINE~for TA~ - i don't know what to say just that its a nice song to end off the album.

Ohh where to start... I got my limited box today. Listened to the album, and yeah, I just want to skip all the single songs... I don't wanna listen to them.

The interludes are really really good! I'm surprised of how much I like them! is like they are telling a story! I specially love montage but THE introduction is awesome too!



The album is all about count down and Last Links... those songs own the album to me, then comes Microphone/Sexy little things/Lady dynamite... those 3 are in a same level to me.

Don't look back is just epic, but I do not relate it to the album at all, I mean, that song overtakes the album at every single level, is too good to be in the album (to put it in some way understandable).


RED LINE is a good ending, but nothing else than that.


meaning of love is beautiful, but it could have been like a B-side for a single so after that we did not really have to listen to it (kinda like Life).



Her vocals are really weak... I'm amazed that the editing actually helped some of the songs to sound better, while made others to sound really meh/bad.




I like the album, but less than NEXT LEVEL, less than GUILTY.





In my personal opinion, this should be ayu's last album for now. I wish she could work on her vocals and travel a bit more so she can get some new ideas for new things...

I don't see any better album coming out from her next, I really hope I'm wrong... but I just don't see it.



MOON should be her last single too.

^believe me...you are too hard on your expectation and you are too hard on ayu as well...
you put to much expectation on her...that's why you feel dissapointed and unsatisfied

that is not true

I'm one of the ones that is not asking ayu to go back to how she was before... and I just want her to be happy :/

you cannot judge me for just one comment on one album. If you go and read other of my comments you will see that I am not too hard on ayu or whatever you said

...because some of it isn't exactly material that one should be proud of.

I think it definitely is. I'm glad she's proud of every track.
Obviously the music in the album is the type of music she loves making and is EXTREMELY proud of, so we'll probably be getting more songs like these. That's bad news for the people who don't like it, very good news for us who love it.

ohh I do like the album, don't get me wrong... but I like it less than NEXT LEVEL atm, for example.

I'm sure it will grow on me though, and as I said before, I just don't feel the single tracks atm... the only one I can actually listen to is BALLAD, for now.



I lovee lovee count down... this song is becoming one of my favorites

Just listened to the album last night and I really didn't mind it, which is a big thing coming from me since I really haven't liked anything she's done since MY STORY lol. I don't like all the songs, but it's certainly not a bad album. Her vocals though... :/

My favourites are Microphone, count down, Last Links, Jump! and Lady Dynamite.
