I couldn't resist... I had to listen to the previews!!!
Here's my "review" of the new ones, hah:


- Step Into My World
Ummm..... This doesn't just sound like TRICK, it IS TRICK... >_> Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, just... Well, you understand. ..Don't know how I feel about this. Because, yeah, I love TRICK, but the same interlude, just different lyrics..? Kuu, come on...
- SUPERSTAR
Oh, goodness. So cutesy and happy, lol. >.< Nah, it's not as bad as people made me think it'd be, lol! Not that I love it, but it's something I can listen to without shooting myself and such. XD (I'd definitely rather hear this than Alive. ) And....... I actually really like the PV!!! I mean, it's SO retarded that I like it! Seems really fun and random. Which I like, especially with Kumi.
- You're So Beautiful
Oh my God, I didn't really like this when I heard it live, but with the studio, I actually like it a lot!! I think I may even grow to love it..? :O Either way, it's definitely a nice addition to the album, even I end up getting sick of it or something. ^^'
- Work It Out!
I don't like this nearly as much as I thought I might... It seems like it might get boring after a few listens... But whatever. It's not terrible, and it seems like a fun, upbeat track to listen to.
- No Way
Okay, honestly...I think I may have preferred it to be the GaGa song. This is definitely my least favourite track off the album. I may grow to like it some eventually, but right now, I'm not liking it at all. :\ It's kinda boring, and it's missing...something. >_<
- Stay
Eh, this is a pretty typical Kumi ballade, my third least favourite. It's sweet and all, but pretty meh in general. I'll probably end up confusing it with a few of her other less exciting ballades. And, unless I end up liking it ten times as much with the full version, I'll probably end up only ever listening to it as background music or something. :\
- Comes Up
Another typical Kuu song, only this is one of the soft cutesy ones... This is my second least favourite. I'll DEFINITELY confuse this with a few others ones, because it totally sounds like I've heard it at least twice before... Oh well. -_-'
- UNIVERSE
A very fun sounding song with a lot of beats...but it's missing any oomph, it seems. Like, it'll probably grow on me a little, and it's not bad, but this will be the song I listen to the least out of the ones I like. It's interesting, just a bit generic. :\
- Moon Crying Live ver. In Taiwan
Well.... If you liked Moon Crying, OBVIOUSLY, this will be a plus for you. Excellent vocals and such... Yeah. XD

Overall:
Definitely in the top five best Kumi albums! Comparing it to TRICK, I definitely like the overall feel of it more, and it will certainly get more plays (for me, at least). There are only three tracks that are 'eh', and, from what I've heard, I LOVE six of the tracks, which is already more than TRICK.
