sending mail - o.0...sounds alright after listening it for a few times
insomnia - Awesome interlude, but it's great the way it is, no need for a 'full version' or something
Like a doll - something novel coming from Ayu...need full version!
Aria - Abit annoying
Thank U - Love her voice in it..abit trance-ish and I prefer it to RED LINE even if it's only a preview :p
overture - A beautiful interlude. Sounded like it's from disney or something
do it again - WTF? LOL. Absolutely no comments for the..umm lyrics, but I love the instrumental!
November - No comments for this atm. Need full version.

I listened to the previews on the website now and I think "do it again", "Like a doll" and "November" sound amazing. Still, I need to hear the full songs... can't wait for 22nd Dec.

I hope she ends the tour with Thank U. so apt!!! do it again is...errr....the rest are alrite I guess. I think the new songs are less ballad-y, probably coz the singles are kinda ballad. I dunno. I think this album flows well...the type of music presented are kinda similar

Oh, yes, I was hoping this was going to be a full track!

waiting for my copy!! Thankfully I rarely listen to the chaku uta versions, they're so low quality you can't even discern what the songs sound like.

So there are 6 new songs, 3 interludes and 16 tracks overall!
Good!

The previews sound so good!! I'm impressed! The direction sound cohesive already.

My favorites from the previews are Like a doll, do it again & November.
Sending mail sounds really fun too!!!

The interludes are really beautiful.

^join the club
after RnRC, waiting for an album to come out now without any disturbance seems easier haha..
(and if u dwell in kpop world long enough, you'll understand the excitement when releases come out the DAY itself they were supposed to be released lol)

LOL..coming back after 4 hours and the songs are starting to get more mixed reviews...But honestly, they either cut the best or the weirdest part in this mere few seconds. I remember [The Judgment Day]'s preview, where it totally spoiled the surprise of the change in tempo.

^ Oh yeah that's so true. Kpop only have some pv teasers (which kill me everytime)but we only know at the release date and sometimes one day after =D. I didn't like the RnRC previews =X and back that time I decided to never listen previews ^^.
It's very interesting read everyone opinions =D. The firsts reactions are 90pc of hate and then become like "wow this is awesome" or "the best thing ever" ^^

Well, for the first time I've decided to listen to the small leaked clips for an album Here's my little review for the new tracks.

insomnia ~interlude~ : I like it! It has this quite cute, weird vocal where Ayu's voice gets slowly higher Also the actual melody itself is quite...haunting? It's an interesting interlude to me.

Like a doll - Y'know, this album has a lot of english lyrics in what I've heard. Like a doll is really interesting too, with a definite beat that suddenly stops for her voice to get higher and then a quieter repeat of her saying 'like a doll...'. I really want to hear the full track!

Aria ~interlude~: Starts off quite orchestra-like, then..into something that could be the soundtrack to a cute game But with this instrumental solo going on and light vocals. Sounds cute anyway.

overture ~interlude~: Sounds a little boring to me, and then goes all Final Fantasy VII near the end. I need to hear the full track.

Thank U: When I first heard this, I thought it was an interlude On the clip alone, it sounds like near the end or a bridge bit. Sounds normal-cute-Ayu song so far.

sending mail: To me, so reminicent of A Song for XX - LOVEppears era to me. Quite abrupt vocals with some dance beats mixed in there for quite a nostalgic sound, but near the end it seems to drift off and the beats stop, which mean it might be a Last angel where the verses and chorus' sound very different.

do it again: It sounds really slow and, sorry to use the same word, haunting. dance dance dance do it again...sing sing sing do it again... The use of so much english makes me excited though. I feel I can't judge this song much on just that clip, it could lead up to a big chorus or just be a haunting song..you can't tell much!

November: One of the most promising clips to me, it sounds really catchy, and her vocals sound really strong. Can't wait for a full of this track especially, and a translation since she wrote it while in LA.

And there you have it~

I'm loving how album is going to sound. There's a melancholic, refreshing and... girly? feeling about it and album itself has a nice flow.

I've been waiting for interludes like Aria and overture from Ayu for so long... They're incredibly beautiful. Like a doll is so unique omg. it reminds me of... k-pop a bit lol o.o sending mail is so... j-popish for me xD, it's like a song many of japanese artists would sing imo. do it again sounds dramatic and it will be epic in full, I'm sure. insomnia, hm... it would be great for me if there wasn't that creepy sound D: I'm not feeling November so far, it's average. Thank U is so precious! I can already guess it's going to be better than Replace, MY ALL and other for-fans-concerts-ending-songs for me.

I'm loving whole album except November and Sweet Season right now... it already topped R'n'C for me I think.
