I guess what makes many people dislike the album is probably also the fact that most people outside Japan started listening to ayu at a later time of her career. If one started listening to her during the "I am..." era, for example, when going back in her discography, "A Song for XX" has probably an even more outdated quality to it.
I actually truely love "A Song for XX". I don't listen to it very often, though. But now I really feel like listening to it. ^^
It's a very different album from anything after it. Not only her voice, but also the lyrics, her image. It's so, how should I put it? Unpolished is probably a good word. "A Song for XX" is an album which can't be done another time.
