Anyway,i love your post,and like i've said before we're in a forum,so it's totally valid your opinion if your are not offending anyone. Of course we'll always differ if a song/ picture can be considered great or not and that's completely respectable...but at least we are not pretending our opinion is the only one that matters lol

Thanks hun! At times it seem that fans tend to have a "child-like" temperament and that agitates me. No offense to anyone, I truly do enjoy sharing my thoughts and opinions with you all.

Isn't Rock and Roll Circus supposed to be a very London album? That's one of her worst, alongside A Song for XX and now Five.

You took the words right out of my mouth. The title "Party Queen" may sound very unconventional by ayu standards (according to many naysayers in this thread) but to me this album just reflects yet another chapter in Ayumi's life. Figuratively speaking, divorce for many represents freedom and that can lead to well....partying. So I guess she's just content now and feels liberated. Just an assumption.

And I agree with a few of you on this thread. To me "Next Level" was ayu's last decent album. I might not have accepted its presence back in '09 but now I am hoping her upcoming album will have the same caliber as "Next Level".

I blame the internet for the egocentricism, exaggerated sense of entitlement, and overall lack of humility these days.

I find that certain individuals who value their opinion too much without finding merit in the opinions of others, tend to be narrow minded and at times overly self-absorbed. I find that stems from arrogance and pride. And it is distressing that pointing out someone's flawed opinion has become unacceptable but often time people tend to get their viewpoint across in a condescending manner which then leads to animosity and more difference in opinion. And I wholeheartedly agree that apparently and unfortunately, demureness seems to be a dying standard on the internet these days.
