I just finished listening to the whole album from start to finish, and I must say it has good flow. The only bad part is the lack of new tracks and tons of interludes, but I guess the album wouldn't have flowed so well without it.

01. Mirror 4/5
I loved this from the moment I first heard it. Full of energy while also giving a sense of mystery and a great atmosphere to start off the album. I would have given it 5/5 but since it was only an introduction, I gave it 4/5. NEEDS TO BE LONGER. D:

02. (don't) Leave me Alone 4/5
A good opening track with a lot of energy. It's not as catchy as something like Until that day... but it's still alright.

05. GUILTY 4/5
Sounds a lot like Linkin Park IMO. XD I like it but I don't see myself listening to it a lot. The chorus is very good with the "Guilty?" "Or not guilty?" bits in it.

08/09 Marionette 5/5
My fav new track on the album. I always wanted a song called this and finally Ayu did it. :3 She pulled it off very well, and the sense of mystery is again portrayed here. The song is excellent and the arrangement is really good. Kind of reminds me of Pride. XD

10. The Judgement Day 5/5
My fav interlude on the album. I get the feeling of heaviness finally being removed and a movement towards freedom. I like how just a piece of music can portray something like Ayu moving away from the end of her relationship to something new. This is also good since it creates good flow into glitter.

12. MY ALL 4/5
Sounds like a good concert ender to me. XD I never really liked the concert end song style, but this song is pretty nice.

13. reBiRTH 2.5/5
I don't really like this interlude, I don't think it's even needed. It's very typical of an Ayu interlude and is something we've all heard before. (Kaleidoscope, LABYRINTH etc) The strings are a nice touch though.

14. untitled ~for her~ 4/5
I like the strings at the start of this song, I can feel a lot of emotion come out of it. It's a very nice song and I really like the chorus. A great way to end the album.
