This album is really like candy. Tastes great at first and is fun, but it'll get stale soon. And if you eat too much, you'll get sick.
I see a lot of people giving out 10s easily, but I rarely will rate a song a 10, because that is like you are saying the song is just as good as Surreal, Evolution, Boys & Girls etc. Only if a song really truly deserves such a high ranking will I give it.
I also agree with those that say this album is lacking an emotional connection. Most of the tracks are interchangeable with each other and don't have an emotional core, which is usually Ayu's main draw. I definitely notice a lack of "Ayu-ness" - any other artist could be doing these same tracks; they are not that unique. But at the same time, its nice that Ayu did something she doesn't normally do, even if what she's doing isn't really unique.

I agree. With the analogy, with people giving 10s
About the lack of connection, I felt it was from the fact that her vocals weren't as outstanding as in her other songs. Like...they weren't the center of attention as always...except in maybe GREEN, Days, and Curtain Call.
Maybe that's it? I'm not sure. For me, I feel emotion through the music...through the chords and the notes and the instruments...so...it's a little different for me...but I definitely noticed the lack of really..."connecting" vocals lol.
