Well I can also say that I think part of the reason why I loved MY STORY so much is because it was the first album release I actively followed (I became an Ayu fan in about 2002/2003/2004 but it was through Depend On You on Thousand Arms.
Then I looked up what the best album would be to ask for Christmas since I didn't follow the message boards too much and got LOVEppears. Then I followed her singles starting with Moments thru to the release of MY STORY so it was very exciting. I just love that era though. Nothing can touch Moments.
It's just that the songs that were staple songs on the album were done so well. I mean their were fillers (Liar, HOPE or PAIN, ...) but I loved even those ones. What I'm saying is that
my name's WOMEN, About You, walking proud, and Humming 7/4 (yes, I liked it a lot) were polished perfectly.
Like if you would try to improve on them, it would be impossible.
Where as with later albums, it seemed I could always pick out changes that could have been made in the album tracks to really make them shine.
And really, I love NEXT LEVEL. I think that since Sparkle was such an amazing song released right before the album that no album tracks really even compare to that song. They are good, but Sparkle is superb.
