The fact that she was original back then, doesn't mean she can't be original right now. For example, i consider kiss o kill an original song and it's from 2006.

About her being stuck in rockish slump, i don't think it's just because it's her recent style. Ayu always tries to reflect her feelings in her songs, and right now it looks that she's not that happy. 2007 was a difficult year to her, and that's the reason why rock reigned in GUILTY.

And talking about her amount of albums, it's quite scary lol. For example Hard Candy from Madonna, who's started in 1983, was her 11th album.
While GUILTY from Ayu, who started in 1998, was her 9th album O________O
