LOVE 'n' HATE: 9/10
Pieces of SEVEN: 10/10
Days: 8/10
Curtain call: 7/10

Overall: 8/10

Not her best album but definitely better than GUILTY and Secret. To me, the best new songs are rollin' and LOVE 'n' HATE and I totally love Pieces of SEVEN. What an amazing interlude!
However some songs are out of place (GREEN, Days) and it's a pity that she made PVs for NEXT LEVEL and Curtain call because to me, these songs are the weakest and the least representative of the album music style.
But this album doesn't disappoint me at all. I love the new direction she's taking and I hope her next releases will be in the same electro/pop/rock style.
