Also on the topic of production and polishedness, imo her I am... to Secret (or GUILTY) era songs were really top notch in production, but since then it's gradually declined. FIVE was a huge all time low, but Love songs was just as good production/polish-wise as her peak stuff.

The guitar work is super heavy though. Right after the intro, when the guitars kick in, that has such badass production.

The songs felt much weaker. There was not as much going on in the background, not as many hidden sounds and definitely not as many layers. It's very straight-forward and not complex at all. countdown and Last Links are both like that. I feel like Don't look back is just random production with Ayu's vocals. It seems almost out of sync at time and the flow is awkward. meaning of Love I cannot comment on as I don't think I've ever made it through the whole thing. Lady Dynamite felt like at times it could be badass but it fell short. Although I cannot stand Sexy little things, it's probably the one song that has a clever arrangement and seems as if it had a decent amount of work put into it. Not to mention, the interludes are her weakest ever and Jump! makes me want to slam my head in a wall. THE introduction used weak syntesizers but despite that, I love the composition and overall feel of it. Had only they made it more standout by using a better arrangement.
