@Powwo: Secret too dark? o_O It's got a TON of happy poppy songs. And you don't like too dark albums but you put GUILTY as no. 2? Lol. XD
01. Secret
Great theme, cover and songs. It has happy songs, sad ballads, powerful rock (not depressive rock like GUILTY, which I don't like) and two great interludes.
Stand out tracks: until that Day..., 1 LOVE, JEWEL
02. I am...
This album just deserves here for having M on it. XD It has a wide variety of music, yet they all go together so well and it sounds beautiful. I love the raw sound she still had back then. still alone is a ballad that has always touched me greatly for no reason that I can think of, and was one of my first Ayu songs ever. To my surprise I actually like Connected and Naturally, because I normally don't like techno-ish songs.
Stand out tracks: evolution, M, Dearest
03. Memorial Address
Every song on this album could be described as a unique masterpiece. They all have their own theme and sound, yet it flows together so well. I love every song on this album. I also like how there are no annoying filler tracks (aka. interludes).
Stand out tracks: Because of You, HANABI ~Episode II~, No way to say
04. MY STORY
The tracks themselves don't really stand out, but as a whole this album really does it for me. I love the theme and thought that this album portrays. It's got some great songs on it, too, and is my first Ayu album (which I considered a favorite until I listened to other songs more).
Stand out tracks: GAME, walking proud, INSPIRE
Edit: Actually, scrap what I said above. The songs on this album are amazing too. I just realized that when I had a lot of trouble selecting stand out tracks lol.
05. GUILTY
I think this album has WAY too much rock. On the other hand it also has some huge stand out songs, and all songs have something going for them in their own way. There aren't any songs that I really despise, but as an album itself I don't think this really works. The CD+DVD album cover also has a big appeal to me and makes me want to listen to the album and watch the PVs. It also has MY ALL !! and some great songs like Marionette. I just don't think this works as an album because of the many interludes. I also REALLY don't get what the word GUILTY has to do with the album songs. It should be more called like NEVER FOREVER or something, because most songs talk about destruction / creation.
Stand out tracks: (don't) Leave me alone, talkin' 2 myself, fated
06. (miss)understood
How most people LOVE this album above everything else amazes me. When I look at the track list, I notice that all my favorite songs are at the top or the bottom, and in the middle there's a huge gap of songs that I REALLY don't like. This album has a lot of hit-or-miss songs. It has some of my favs, yet some of my least favs. I don't like the album from In The Corner to Will, which is pretty much 1/3rd. It kind of takes away my love for the album. They should have done the songs in a different order or something.
Stand out tracks: Ladies Night, is this LOVE?, HEAVEN
07. RAINBOW
Speaking of hit-or-miss songs, this album has plenty. It has very weak tracks and very powerful tracks, but the weak ones outnumber the powerful ones. This is my favorite album THEME though. I love the album title, art and theme of freedom. I hate July 1st, though. And I don't like everywhere nowhere, WE WISH and Over. I'm also not a fan of Dolls.
Stand out tracks: Real me, Free & Easy, Voyage
08. Duty
Well, I guess this album goes here. I don't really like my three bottom albums. This is a short album with a lot of songs that I don't like or don't listen to much: Duty, vogue, End of the World, Far Away, teddy bear, Key ~eternal tie ver.~ and girlish. Yea, almost the entire album.
Stand out tracks: SURREAL, SEASONS, and uh... SCAR or AUDIENCE I guess.
09. LOVEppears
I'm not a fan of techno-ish music, so I don't like this album much. It's simply not my taste. It's fun every once in a while, though. Especially monochrome and WHATEVER (live version). I also don't like Boys & Girls. AYU!! Stop performing that HORRID SONG! >_< (Or maybe I just don't like it because it takes up a concert spot on the set list lol. I'm not sure. I didn't really listen to it before watching her concerts.)
Stand out tracks: Fly High, End roll, Who...
10. A Song for XX
Lol, need I say more?
Stand out tracks: A Song for XX, YOU, Depend on you
