I don't typically review albums, but I had to do this time. Couldn't help it!

Bridge to the Sky:
Loved how it started. A fantastic way to begin the album.

NEXT LEVEL:
Love it. Very calming, makes you forget all your problems. Chorus reminds me a bit of Beautiful Fighters, however.

Disco-munication:
I liked how it started out, but then it..fell short a bit.

EnergizE:
I did not know what to think about it at first...I thought I wouldn't like it when I heard her go "Put your hands up together.." but then I began to enjoy it. A lot.

Sparkle:
OH MY FRICK, SPARKLE. No words can express my love for this song. Right now, this is the song I'm telling everyone to listen to.

rollin':
The beginning started out a little too slow for me, and then Ayu's voice kicks in and I had a change in thought. I now love rollin'.

GREEN:
One of my fav Ayu songs. 'Nuff said.

Load of the SHUGYO:
Reminds me of Mortal Kombat. In a good way.

identity:
So I'm thinking this was the other rock song..I liked it! Sounded awesome. Were Peco and Princess singing background in this song, though???

Rule:
<3 I kinda forgot about Rule when I heard Sparkle, but it's still a great song. I still don't think it goes with Dragonball.

LOVE 'n' HATE:
My fav song from the album (well..besides GREEN and Sparkle) . Played this at a party I went to yesterday...yeah, everyone was dancing and lovin' it. I dunno how to describe it, though..it's a little rock, R&B, some dance ..yeah. It's love.

Pieces of SEVEN:
I also liked it. However, I felt like this interlude was a little...out of place??

Days:
Cute song, but I never really cared for it.

Curtain call:
I nearly cried listening to it. The first ballad I love from her since Together When...

So..yeah, I was not disappointed at all!

My rating: 8/10...or maybe 9/10?? I dunno, I need to listen to it a little bit more.

However, as much as I love GREEN, it did feel a little out of place in the album.
