I got my boxset today, I'm pretty satisfied, it's huge! haha.

Will watch the DVD of CDL and blu-ray of PoM through the week.

Too bad CDL's dvd doesn't have a booklet, just a paper with the tracklist, but it's the DVD that matters anyway :D

Hopefully i'll get my cd either on friday 30th or monday 2nd, it's getting tougher and tougher not to listen to the album as days go by, i hope i won't end up being disappointed haha it would be embarassing but i doubt i will anyway (:

Pieces_of_SEVEN 25th March 2012 05:53 PM

Yep, same here. In for a bit of a wait too! And I'll prob have to get it a day later as there will be no one in the house to take the package.

Yes. "Party Queen" is not really well produced. If you are using High End headphones (or maybe even cheaper ones) you can clearly hear those "distortions" in some tracks.

I am just too lazy, to listen to this album right now or I would list any tracks with distortions just like you did with "Tell me why".

I tried FLAC and iTunes Plus version, both have the problems you mentioned. "Love songs" had similar problems (for example "MOON". Quite terrible distortions in the refrain).

Just another evidence that the producers start to get lazy. I have never had any quality problems with previously released, older Ayu albums.

Haha thanks for the confirmation :) I thought my hi-end equipments have problems. Hope Ayu will choose a better studio for next album...

^ I do hear that. It's more of the mixing and/or mastering engineer's problem; its something they should have easily noticed or picked up on (I work as a sound engineer) so that's poor work on their part.

Yeah, definitely! It's so simple to avoid. They just need to listen to the full album carefully before they finish their work so that they can alter such flaws.

My Amazon order (Blu-ray box set) was shipped on March 24, and I just checked DHL that it's already reached the States, so I guess it will probably get here on Monday or Tuesday.

TeamAyu2004, you ordered from Amazon as well?

Pieces_of_SEVEN 26th March 2012 02:21 AM

SO EXCITED yayyyy watching POWER of MUSIC tour right now. I hate the long interludes where her band just plays and plays. I'm sure it's for outfit changes and whatnot, and I'm sure it'd be cool if I were actually at the concert, but on the blu ray it's just like...OK, can these two *****es peco and princess shut the hell up and can ayu come back out now...LOL

PoetGirl 26th March 2012 02:25 AM

so party queen is flop. omg.

Pieces_of_SEVEN 26th March 2012 02:36 AM

^^May not be up to her usual standards, but I don't think that means it has flopped by any means.

Didz-19 26th March 2012 02:54 AM

hey guys! since we have the love/hate of Ayu collabs with other artists, would it be okay for us to send her message via twitter to ask her to do a collab with the artists that WE want? example...we want her to collab with Namie or other Avex artists?
