IT'S AMAZING!!!

This is DEFINITELY the NEXT LEVEL. Lot's of English and a TOTALLY different vibe from GUILTY!

[identity] is the ****! [Load of the Shugyo] is the ****! [EnergizE] is the ****!...even [NEXT LEVEL] is pretty good!

[Love 'n' Hate] is...AMAZING!!!! It's SO AWESOME I'm experiencing an EARGASM for the first time in my life. I can't WAIT to see this performed on tour!

[Pieces of SEVEN] is an AMAZING interlude! It started out like Kaleidoscope ~part III~ and then burst into a wave of techno rock! It's SO good! But why is it paired with [Days]? [Curtain Call] is like [JEWEL] + [Pride], but much more somber. It really sounds out of place with this album because of the lack of ballads. I don't really care too much for songs that don't have much going on in the background, but it is pretty good. I just thank God it's the last song on the album! ^___^

With all that being said...

I can't foresee this album surpassing GUILTY in terms of sales, because it's SO rock-and-techno oriented that it might be too much for veteran Ayu fans to handle. It'll definitely sell MORE than Koda Kumi's [TRICK], but it probably won't make it past the 700,000 mark.

I will be buying this album at the end of the month. That's a promise!
