I hate when people refuse to admit her work is anything short of perfection when it isn't and then they attack the fans who have an opinion.

Well, to them, it might be. I think this is like those situations where instead of someone thinking that a song/set of songs is great and thinks that everyone should think they're great, but it's the exact opposite. Just because you don't like the song(s) doesn't mean that they are bad nor does it mean that everyone else has to have the same view that they're terrible and same sounding.
IMO, if you don't have something nice to say at a fan forum, you should expect to see some backlash to what you have to say. It's to be expected after all since this is kind of a forum made for Ayu fans by Ayu fans. Not everyone loves everything Ayu does here (but a lot of people seem to think that for some odd reason) but there are a few who are satisfied with her output overall and I don't think that's a bad thing. It's the case with any artist, really, but with Ayu, her overseas fanbase is pretty large compared to some other artists. Like, I'm a fan of some other artists and I rarely ever see their fans ever get so heated and disappointed over the quality of tracks compared to older works they've done. I think they're just grateful that they're releasing new material at all and taking things as they come.
Sometimes I think of Ayu fans as really spoiled because she's given us so much and more often than not, she's slammed for whatever she does. Like... she'd give fans exactly what they're asking for and then suddenly it's not enough or whatever she ended up releasing wasn't up to their standard or something. It's been bugging me for the last few releases and it makes me wonder sometimes if we as fans are even listening to the same tracks when I hear "She is releasing the same songs over and over and is not fresh." I mean reaaalllly?
