I loved identity at first but now it is kinda of annoying all that shouting.

^^Other than those two, I think NEXT LEVEL is a strong album. LOVE 'n' HATE blew me away.

Bridge to the Sky makes that album for me... lol

maybe i am the only few who don't like most interludes from NL but love all the interludes in RnRC and LS. Interludes from RnRC are theatrical and dramatic which gave me a lot of dark images. while interludes from LS are so classy that i feel like i was in a victoria castle or watching a Ferrero Rocher TV-Cm (Aria) lol.

i would guess taskebab has something to do with middleeast. a cup of tea is cute and dreamy maybe. Serenade in A minor is LS-like.

I think my favorites are taskinillusion, labyrinth, the judgement day, tasking, and pieces of SEVEN.

I always have high hopes for the interludes, so I hope this album doesn't disappoint like the last two did.

Me too, it blew me straight into the hills where I hoped to escape the dreadful sound of that song and spare myself from hearing it ever again.

Lol, ok it's not THAT bad (but I would say that is a more accurate interpretation of my reaction to Sexy little things) but it definitely is not my style. It has that attitude like "I'm badass" but it really is a subpar song with a weak chorus. Sorry just my thoughts on the song, explaining why it's not my "cup of tea"

^ hm. Well. lol.
I don't know how i feel about Next Level.. I really do have a love and hate thing going on..
I remember when it first came out and I hated it... but after watching the live.. i don't know I just.. sat down and was floored by everything that i had missed the firs run through.. lol
Now it is my cup of tea.

Sexy little thing is the least jazz song I can think of.

And it's the most swing jazz a swing song could be.

yay for LOVE 'n' HATE love. one of my faves from that album, i remember being more impressed with that song than Sparkle & Rule combined.

mama.. Peach John's mama or Mariko?

Hahaha! I meant to write 3 but typo'd, then realised I was running late for work before I checked my message....lol

too bad 3 interludes but I never care about interludes!
who needs them if they are not songs?

They are good transitionings and mood setters, you don't have to like them but ayu had them in all of her albums since A Song for xx (excluding the minis) lol.

LnH is amazing. Especially live. I seriously don't get the hate lol.

Sexy Little Things is NOT jazz WTF??

^ rollin' and identity are only 2 album tracks that I like from NL XDDDDDDDD + Curtain call.

I enjoyed the NEXT LEVEL songs live, I really enjoyed the 2009 tour. Not a huge fan of the album at all though.

^ the tour was amazing!

Sexy Little Things has jazz elements.. you cant deny that.
its a horrible song and one of the few ayumi songs that I skip over... lol
