After listening to the album over and over. Here is now my new opinion on it
Bridge to the sky - I still don't really like this introduction. I like her ad-libbing and the ending when the beat goes crazy, but that's about it. It just sounds too similar to Not yet at parts.
NEXT LEVEL - I like the chorus, the verses are lacking though. And a lot of the song reminds me of BLUE BIRD
Disco-munication - The beginning bothers me, I hate the beginning. But when it picks up it gets interesting. I like the video game sounds. However Ayu's voice is so scary in this interlude xD I would have liked a full song though
EnergizE - I love the arrangement, and English lyrics. That's about it though, not too catchy. And I don't really like how Ayu sings in this song
Sparkle - I still love the beginning, the way Ayu sings the first verse, and the instrumental bridge.
rollin' - This song grew a lot onto me. I love the beginning, but I only like it when Ayu's voice is really distorted in the verses. Since it's kind of interesting to hear
GREEN - Like I said before, lost it's magic as time went by.
Load of the SHUGYO - I never really liked this interlude. It's unmemorable.
identity - This song, I still think is too similar to 1 LOVE at times. Unmemorable to be honest.
Rule - Grew onto me a lot. Love the chorus, verses are ok, don't like the ballad part that comes out of nowhere in the song.
LOVE 'n' HATE - Still one of my favorite new tracks. The violins are awesome, but the counting could have been better left out. Kinda gets in the way of the song
Pieces of SEVEN - I love the ambient introduction, but then it gets kinda boring after that beautiful introduction.
Days - Another song that grew onto me a lot. Love it
Curtain call - I like the piano, but Ayu just doesn't sound good with that by itself. Because her vibrato just goes crazy. I do like it when the choir joins in though
So, this album is a grower. Defiantly. I'll most likely just get the 2CD+DVD on Ebay if it shows up there for really cheap. The album + PV's is not worth 60 for a collectible USB.
