I've listened to the album now several times.
Don't know if i'm repeating something that someone already wrote but
I'm just too lazy to read 13 pages X.X
The following might sound very negative but at the moment just that comes to my mind 
Overall I can say it is a good album for me though.
But it just didn't make me feel like "oh.. this is Ayu"..
I always had this feeling while listening to previous albums.
Also it doesn't sound like the "next level" for me.
It's also the shortest album ever.. The first one under 60 min I think..
It feels that everything is just pushed together as if they were thinkin.
Oh.. it's time to make our annual album.. let's just arrange some random beats and melodies and that's it.
Also it seems to me that they tried to put the vocals in the backround and highlight the beats and some fancy Disco tracks and patterns. She can do better than that
I also don't think that GREEN and Days fit in this album.
Everything is like Disco or Electro-ish and this just absolutely doesn't go with that 
There are also some melodies of songs that remind me of others:
NEXT LEVEL - BLUE BIRD
identity - desicion
Pieces of SEVEN - X-Files Intro/Kaleidoscope/Tekken Soundtrack
Curtain call - Mariah Carey.. (Don't remember the song title.. but it goes like
I can't live if living is without you.. blah blah)
Songs I really dislike are:
LOVE 'n' HATE - just absolutely awful song. the melody is horrible.
1,2....7.. blah now we can all count 'til 7.. wonderful lool
Curtain call - reminds me of Mariah Carey.. doesn't have any feeling in it
definitely one of her worst ballads ever
And as most of you mentioned before.. What's that interlude Pieces of SEVEN supposed to be?
It just absolutely doesn't fit before Days..
At the end I can say that I expected more of this album and that it is definitely not gonna be my favourite one.
When I consider that I bought that "cheap" USB  ~cough.. at least it pretty lool
She tried to go in a new direction and discover some new grounds of music but for me it's a step backwards
Of course that's just my opinion
