I dont think I've heard an intro and interlude so true to the concept of the album. It's incredible how the interlude splits the album without giving u that feeling that its two separate side of the album. The introduction is just fantastic. both 10

So Nice: It's been a LONG LONG time Kuu and i'm digging this!! Though the chorus seems more like repeating lines..not so much of a melody but the music is TOP MATERIAL. 9

Boom Boom Boys: ok wow. now I know whats the big fuss about the "Kikasete DJ"..in my mind, i was like "OH YEAH she did not just do that!!!!" and there i was rocking to the whole track already. I love the changes in the music. The production is amazing. 9.5

Slow feat. Omarion: Oh this just blows Passing By (which i honestly didnt like..because there was so little Kuu). It kinda...mixes No Way with Okay but it's just so nice (no pun intended)!! Feels like a western r&b ballad but definitely in the right way. Kuu's no stranger to such ballads 9.5

Brave: This does feel very nice and familiar from the Kuu we all know. I think this feels more right to listen anyday because it isnt like stay with me, which is more x-mas-y. I love the bridge. 7.5

Everyday: I actually quite enjoy this. (at least for now). It sounds like Kuu's b-sides but it does beat most of them and even her other album tracks which are in the same category. I love the "öoh ooh ooh" parts hahah 7

ESCALATE: I was thinking this might be the next TABOO or..a fun dance track but the lack of a melodic chorus does take away a bit of the like for this track. It's a lil short. The music, on the other hand, is fantastic. It's very strong and im looking forward to the PV 8

No Man's Land: THIS.IS.AWESOME!!! Probably one of Kuu's best tracks ever definitely. There's rap, melody, softness and hard all in one track. And it definitely feels dark The "no man's no man's" part really feels like ZWEI's Fake Face..though. I dont find the rap out of place too. 10

Lay Down: I love the verses very much for this track the music itself is very very good and futuristic too. I really wanna know what she's singing in this haha. it feels so weird. "Handle this" sounds really nice one issue is that...most parts feel like copy n paste haha 8

Love Technique: WOW this is such a surprise!! the part before the chorus is so catchy! Im loving this. Definitely one of her best...cute(?) songs. 9.5

All for you: I would die for an actual studio or live audio version. It feels so raw I actually find it very sincere and beautiful. I think this song would sound so good live. The lyrics also seem meaningful from what I picked up. This feels like a rip from a youtube clip too ahhaha 8

V.I.P. feat. T-Pain: not going into my iPod. using the original
Ai wo Tomenaide: This actually grew on me. hahaha..it's better than Brave now that I've heard it. 8
Poppin'love cocktail: Still loving this. 9.5
KO-SO-KO-SO: 10
IN THE AIR: 10
Love Me Back: this song feels so fitting in this album it sounds better 8
You are not alone (Acoustic): I really like this song now. 9

======

amazing amazing production.
What i LOVE is the effort they put in to even include music at the end like in BBB and Brave..it makes the song feel more complete rather than just cutting it off abruptly or fading out.
and every song has their own character which makes it very good. THough at the moment, Lay Down and ESCALATE are confusing me hahahah

AWESOME KUU!!!!!!!!!! so glad im buying this
