At least with her past electronic songs, they have always sounded like Ayu. Something unique and amazing. This is trying too hard to sound like a western pop song, and it fails on that front.

Not even comparable to Last angel or Sparkle. I really hope Timmy hasn't composed a lot of songs on the album after hearing this. Seems like BRILLANTE was a fluke.
You not liking it is ok and I can completely understand, but calling it generic(at least that's what I read out of the Gaga comparison and the "not unique") is a flat out lie. The mix of disco, chiptune and dubstep(and IMO something very Ayu, too) in Party Queen, to my knowledge, has not been done in mainstream music before. Last Angel, while an incredible and quite unique song, was more generic for it combined two elements often combined, Trance/Dancepop and orchestral backings.
How beautiful you are is the generic one out of the songs premiered, though it's not something typical for Ayumi with it's very western melody.
