Bridge to the sky - Sounds like Not yet, just not as good, I also think this is her worst intro track :/ It didn’t set up any mood like “Mirror” or “Catcher In The Light” did, it felt like it was just there

NEXT LEVEL - Some parts remind me too much of BLUE BIRD, but at least the chorus was a tad catchy

Disco-munication - Disco-munication could have been something good, but instead it was a boring filler interlude

EnergizE - The beat and the catchy English saved this song from being too boring for my likes

Sparkle - Love the beginning intro, the chorus, and the instrumental bridge. That’s about it

rollin' - This track wasn’t all that interesting, it’s nice background music if you’re folding clothes or something

GREEN - GREEN was magical and so awesome at first, but it’s lost its magic in my opinion

Load of the SHUGYO - Pretty good interlude, not all that interesting, but transitioned well into identity

identity - Some parts of the song remind me too much of 1 LOVE

Rule - I hated this song at first, but it’s grew onto me a lot

LOVE 'n' HATE - The best song on the album, nuff said. The music was great, the vocals were excellent, and it was just so damn catchy <3

Pieces of SEVEN - The beginning reminds me of Donkey Kong Country 2 music (mainly Bramble Blast for people who’ve played the game =P) which is good, the transition into techno was strange, but a nice welcome. Best interlude on the album IMO

Days - Didn’t like this song at first, also grew onto me.

Curtain call - I hate the beginning, but at least the song gets interesting with the choir that enters, but then the ending is like the beginning. Not the best way for her to end the album, but whatever.

NEXT LEVEL was average for me. The interludes were filler (minus Pieces of SEVEN) while most of the tracks were boring and uninteresting.
FAVORITE TRACKS = LOVE ‘n’ HATE, Pieces of SEVEN, Rule, Days
LEAST FAVORITE TRACKS = Bridge to the sky, Disco-munication, rollin’, identity, Curtain call
AVERAGE TRACKS = NEXT LEVEL, EnergizE, Sparkle, Load of the SHUGYO, GREEN
