Okay so now I finally got the time to write a review...
1) Love song - I fell for this song the first time I listened to it. I love the arrangement, the melody and her voice. It doesn't quite got this kick-ass opening feeling that Microphone had, but since this Album is a different kind of I think it matches quite well. It's my 3rd favourite song on this Album!
2) crossroad - From the 3 last singles this on has been my favourite. I can't even say what it is, but something about this Song feels really great and unique to me.
3) MOON - I like this song. I can't say I totally love it, but I like it. I think it really fits the flow of the whole Album. But it's one of the songs that would also have done as an Album song...I'd rather had one of the Album songs as a Single instead of MOON, but I'm not gonna complain.
4) Sending Mail - My favourite song on this Album! It's amazing! The strong vocals...the slow parts...the fast paced parts...I love it. I can't even say much about this because I think its just awesome the way it is. This song has been on repeat since this morning.
5) Last Angel - The song is my favourite from the L single. I think it's good to put it after Sending Mail! The thing I like the most about the song is the intro and how it suddenly changes.
6) Insomnia - This one reminds me of some tune I have heard before, but I can't quite get my fingers on it. I think it's pretty cool, it would kinda fit as ending theme for some horro-drama kind of movie I think.
7) Like A Doll - My second favourite Song on this Album! I totally love this song! It sounds cute and sorrowful at the same time. I somehow can imagine a PV along the lines of Do It Again and Real Me for this song! I really like the "Like A Doll...Like A Doll..." parts in this one, as well as the shprt instrumental parts before the refrain starts.
8) Aria - I'm not a big fan of interludes to be honest, but this one is really stunning IMO. It sounds really sweet, it somehow gives me a feeling of spring.
9) blossom - I always liked this one better than MOON and it still is like this. I like this summerish, kinda sad feel of this song. I wish for more songs like this one from Ayu in the future!
10) Thank U - I guess a new concert ending song? I think it's cute but I have a feeling that I will like it better when I heard it live. For me it's the same with MY ALL, I love listening to it live but on CD I don't really pay much attention to it.
11) Sweet Season - IMO the weakest track on the Album. I never was able to get into this song. I think it's boring. The only good thing is the PV which I think is really well made.
12) Overture - I think it sounds like out of a Disney movie or something...like the poor girl finally has found her prince etc.etc. It's nice but nothing special IMO.
13) Do It Again - When the first Previews came out I really didn't like the 'Dance,dance,dance...' parts, but now that I was able to listen to the whole song I totally love it. I like how it starts of very slowly and suddenly gets more fast paced and the suddenly....it becomes slower again. I think this is a great song to see live!
14) November - IMO this song is nothing special but still really, really nice. It's just a small but great song. I totally adore the arrangement in this one. Somehow her voice sounds a bit sad in this Song I feel...
15) Virgin Road - This song. I love it. I love the arrangement and her vocals are powerful. I love how it starts and ends in the same way. I think Ballads tend to feel a bit boring very fast but not this one, it really has a nice flow.
16) SEVEN DAYS WAR - I'm glad they put the live version on the Album. I love this song and I think it's even better live. It gives me the 'I didn't think I'd make it, but I survived!' kind of feel. I think it's a good song to listen to if you feel down.
I think this one is my favourite Ayu Album because the is only 1 Song I'm probably going to skip when I get my copy, and that is Sweet Season. Besides, I like every song. For me it's a better Album than R'n'RC and kinda on the same level with NEXT LEVEL (lol). I will order it as soon as I can (which means probably in January...) and can't wait to have a copy of it on my own. I also am curious to see all the PVs that are included on the DVD. I think this Album is a great christmas present from Ayu.
I give it 9,5/10 points.
