Just finished listening to the album, I like the flow of the album, each songs goes very smoothly into the next.

My favourite track is meaning of Love, the melody and ayu's singing are really sweet.
The chorus of Microphone is catchy. The arrangement of Sexy Little Things is awesome. I wish the arrangement of her songs will go in this direction in her upcoming production. I'm getting bored by strings and guitar.

I have already forgot how Last Links and count down sound.... but they are quite nice as album tracks. Both reminded me of her MY STORY album tracks and It was.

I don't particular like Don't Look Back as most of you do. The arrangement did save the song from being mediocre.

BALLAD sounds exactly like GREEN. You were is very emotional, Sunrise/Sunset sound like new songs to me. It might be because I have stopped listening to them after the single was released.

I don't mind the album without the 3 interludes. Oh well, Lady Dynamite is just another upbeat track.... I wish she could use a completely new production team, just keep CMJK as the arranger in her next release.

My review is quite choppy, haha.

Overall, the album is very good. There isn't a track that I would skip. Track by track wise, it's not impressive but if you listen from the very beginning to the end, I love it. Nothing beats (miss)understood and Memorial address for me, but RnRC is close, perhaps I always like albums with a dark theme (except GUILTY).

I am buying it anyway and look forward to the MV, making-of, photobook, booklet and the whole design.
