And I think Curtain Call was never meant to be another JEWEL. I found it interesting that it had no chorus and it was really kinda like...idk how to describe the structure but yea, it was cool.
blossom is amazing actually..lol. the soft and hard are all in this song. and Microphone..wel, the verses may have been a lil anticlimatic but the progression is still there. and making a full blown out rck song may have beem disastrous for the listener (and most here are probably gonna call it noisy and messy)
I don't mean JEWEL ll, but because both uses piano and Curtain Call seemed so....empty compared to JEWEL, and not to mention the pv (urrghh complete Pride rip off >< )

Blossom, yeah it's amazing but I have to emphasize that it was too repetitive and lack the element of suprise. And microphone for me I don't really like any smooth progression from verses to chorus..very abrupt. Listen to Show Me Love (not a dream) by Utada, it's not a full blown rock track but the whole song flows like a masterpiece.

I see. However it does't really work well for me because I kept hearing the same thing over and over again. The instrumental (esp. the bridge) was awesome, so it's quite a waste imo.

Anyway imo I must say Do It Again is considered the breakthough song of this album. I enjoyed the whole 5:52 of it and it's definitely something new Ayu had put out in a longggg while. Sending Mail, THANK U and Like a doll was okay and it seems like November will be the only filler track in the album. Overall Love Songs is a great album with quality single (except blossom) and album tracks, and I don't really place much emphasis on interludes but they were great so yeah
