[aura~]

I still don't know why people keep trying to fins the old ayu nowadays... she has changed (luckily for me) and growed up... she's not the same person so she can't do the same as before... I mean.. don't expect her to release anything similar of her earlier albums... it's basicaly imposible... And well.. for who thinks it's a rushed album, mediocre songs, etc... well... ayu doesn't need to put out an album for money, i mean... she release music because she wants and she love to keep doing it... if she didn't like the songs on NEXT LEVEL sure she wouldn't have released it.

Well.. my opinion of NEXT LEVEL... Since it's the unique album I love all the songs without exception, nowadays is, for me, her best album. (m)u or memorial addres are also great... if memorial were a full album i would rank it the first... and (m)u... well I like almost all of the songs, but i only LOVE with passion few... Secret and GUILTY were good when they were released, but time has passed and Secret has lost A LOT and GUILTY... is okey, but I only keep listening continuosly mirror, t2m and marionette.

So because of thay NEXT LEVEL is for me her best album... my ranking of eahc song...

Bridge to the sky: 6/10 it's good, but after all only an intro and not so special as Mirror was.

NEXT LEVEL: 10/10 one of the best, the good feeling it gives me is priceless! I love to listening this song and makes me smile during 4,30min without stop.

Disco-munication: 4/10 I don't really like this interlude...

EnergizE: 7,5/10 I don't feel a lot happy songs, but I really like this song... it's good because the only happy songs I like are evolution, unite, and some other, because she keeps on singing them one time after another... so is a good point that without any live I love this song.

Sparkle: 9,5/10 First I didn't liek it a lot... but it has growed inside me and now is one of my favourites, i realy like it and i find amazing to sing it!

rollin': 6,5/10 without counting the interludes, my least favourite song of the album. I don't really like this excesive electronic voice, but I find amazing the chorus. and the lyrics are awesome!

GREEN: 7/10 (after the shock to pass from rollin' to GREEN~ xD) well... it was firstly my favourite from the single D/G but it has changed (like R/S), i don't know, it has lost its magic... but even that, it's still a beautifull song that I enjoy listening, not as much as before tough.

Load of the SHUGYO: 5/10 well I don't liek to rank high the interludes... because are only interludes... (only Mirror deserve that XD) it's good, better than D-munication, but not special...

identity: 10/10 absolutely in LOVE with this song! Is somethign I cant descibre! this song and its lyrics ar eimpresive! I can't stop listening to this one! for me THE BEST song of the album (also with NL, L'n'H)

Rule: 8,5/10 while sparkle has gained some pints, Rule has lost some... firstly I found it awesome.. but although I still love it a lot and I think tis amazing... i don't know... is like somethign is missed...

LOVE 'n' HATE: 10/10 also in absolute LOVE with this one.. not as identity, but almost. IMO this song has the BEST lyrics of this album... I lvoe the melody I find it really original in her discography ^^

pieces of SEVEN: 6,5/10 IMO the best interlude of the album. Although I think the Rock part wouldn't have to be there... I mean... is also a shock to pass to Days after that XD

Days: 8,5/10 As I've said, it has become better than GREEN IMO after its release. I really love this song, I fell the lyrics a lot, I find it really emotive... a lovely sweet ballad ^^

Curtan call: 9/10 I find this ballat absolutely awesome! Is extremely simple but its emotional power is amazing! I really enjoy this ballad!


In conclusion, i'm in love with all the album, I love all the new textures it has, and the new sounds she has included, I fell a lot the majority of the lyrics and I'm in love with almost all the songs, and the rest are still awesome!! I rank the album with a 8,5 ^^


So this is my opinion.... ^^
