The single tracks were great. The pop tracks of RAINBOW (WE WISH, Real me, July 1st, independent) are some of her greatest and also her last few outstanding pop tracks. (Most of Ayu's pop songs after RAINBOW has been pretty bad...) The album tracks were definitely great (Close to you and Heartplace are some of my top favorite Ayu songs!). Not the mention that RAINBOW has the best interludes too!

The only tracks I don't enjoy that much are Dolls and Over.

I totally agree with what you said. The last of ayu's good pop. Everything else has been generic and overdone. either its too pop or too rock, either way, its been a while since I've heard a geniune Ayumi pop song.

RAINBOW was an awesome album, IMO, and its hard to see why people hate it so much. It blows recent albums like Secret and Guilty to shame. kthxbai.
