While I'd say that it seems to be her second most consistent album next to BEST~ss~, I wouldn't exactly rank it her second best at this point. Then again, that's only after the first listen and not in order (since the order on the DVD is by genre). I'm sure it will grow on me with time. At least I can say for the first DVD and amazing packaging alone, I don't regret the purchase.
^ I completely agree with you. To me this album was nothing special due to its incessant use of "safety net" compositions and weak bridges/choruses. Many Kuu fans/stans that I personally know were highly disappointed with the album which greatly surprised me and refuse to purchase the album. The songs simply did not grab their attention in any way shape or form. It just seems with each new album she releases the more discontented I become.
