rollin' might have good lyrics, but the arrangament, vocoder and over all composition are simply not fitting imo - the song feels like an endless interlude.

NEXT LEVEL is however a masterpiece imo, whenever DAI and Ayu work together it simply has to turn out into amazing song.

identity and LOVE n HATE deffo lack "real emotion" and LOVE n HATE only needs an amazing chorus and it would be great.

I don't know after 2 days of listening to the album, sure I like it overall, but still not more than any of her previous albums
Hmm, hahaha I love LOVE 'n' HATE chorus! I think it's really awesome.

Well I still agree with you about the D.A.I + Ayu thing... NEXT LEVEL is a masterpiece.

But well, actually Ayu has so many albums... I think some albums are more focused on certain aspects of musics than the others.

Like how MY STORY is very lyric-based, and (miss)understood is genre-based, and GUILTY is emotion-based...

I think NEXT LEVEL is like arrangement-based.

Because I can't tell you how much I LOVE the arrangement of the album tracks, especially LOVE 'n' HATE! The way the violins, synth, drums and guitars flow with each other in LOVE 'n' HATE is such a eargasm oh my Godddddd~~~~
