The gist so far though:

EnergizE is HoneyxAngel's Song + a billion apparently.
Curtain Call sounds like a mix between Teddy Bear and Close to You. A piano ballad with gospel flair.
Love'n'Hate seems like the track with the most positive feedback so far.
Rollin' I haven't seen too much about, so like Mishidabo says, it may just be very average sounding.
There is quite a bit of English on the album, probably more than any other album she has done.
Some of the lyrics that people know so far they are not entirely happy with (probably has something to do with the amount of English too.)



Well that's disappointing. There are some individual tracks on those albums that I love (especially on Secret), but overall as albums, they are some of my least favorite.
Honestly, what the mishidabo guy is saying about this album, and what everyone else on 2 channel are saying about these songs, they are completely different comments.

How can it sound like a copy of Secret and Guilty with a gospel flair, when they describe songs like a mesh of Honey and Angel's Song?
Or Close to you and Teddy bear?
Or Days, which sounds nothing like any track on those two albums, but more like the old albums?
And GREEN, which is an entirely new sound.
Or Sparkle, which sounds really, NOTHING like Guilty or Secret..

Of course everyone has their own opinions about what sounds good and what doesn't.
To me, Secret is one of her greatest albums..
Guilty, I dont really like, but I like some songs on it..

I just think maybe we can all come to understand each other's viewpoints.
Of course there are fans who like her old ones, and fans who like her new ones.
Isnt it better to acknowledge the fact that even if we dont like some track or so, another person might feel like its the greatest track?
We dont need to bash each other (I am not talk to you Sunshine.. ahaha dont worry~~)
Lets just wait until we all hear the songs for ourselves in full qualities to make a judgment.
But I think we can all be friendly to eachother.

Like.. "Oh you like Guilty? Well, it's not my favourite, but I like (blank) song." even if you hate it to death..
It causes less fight, and many many people on this forum always get into fights like this similar one.

And I dont really think that those people who dropped the pre-order really care about her that much..
You wanna "stick it to her" if you drop the pre-order?
Who will know you dropped it? Definitely not she or Avex.
And, supposed to say that everyone dropped it?
Do you not want her to make music anymore?? I dont get it..

I think we should all just be a little less confrontational,
And a little more relaxed about this kind of thing..
It helps to build bridges~~(to the sky~~ ahaha)
