I don't like the flow of this album, which is very up and down and so many sudden changes of mood, again and again. (From 'to Mother' to 'GLORIA')
From ballad to upbeat then slower song and then upbeat song again, I think that kind of flow didn't work for me.

Another thing, the album duration is no more than 50 minutes because the song mostly 3 minutes long, only 3 songs that has 4 minutes duration.
Too short for YUI, she can do better. Even though she experiments for every track on this album, still didn't satisfy my taste.

The album ended with Kiss me and it has fade out ending, which is a problem for me. I feel It's all too much is better if it's become the closing song.

The album is better when played shuffle I think, and my favorite track is es.car EPIC!

I think I LOVED YESTERDAY is better than this album.

Umm...under 50 minutes!? That's quite short of standards - it seems that YUI is more sprint-style kind (some four minutes or less in songs), in contrast to Ayu, Kobukuro and such that they have songs that go to five minutes, maybe even more (such as Ayu's new "MOON" song that takes up five minutes and some 45 seconds), so what's the thing with YUI? A different style there?
