Duty and I Am... are for me the Ayu best of the best. Duty for the lyrics and the amazing images Ayu can convey, I think nothing can beat the strong emotions in it, it's just SO EPIC. I Am... is what really simbolizes Ayu as a artist, it's the album that reflects her the best, 'cause I feel it's the one she worked at the most completely as possible. Lyrics, compositions, ideas, messages, everything: I think if someone want to have a pretty good idea of Ayu -as a singer and as a person- they should listen to I Am... straight away.
But then, for me everything before GUILTY is SO perfect in its own uniquess that it's really difficult to make toplists, lol. Not that what it follows isn't amazing anyway. I think Ayu can loosen up after a decade and more of thoroughly gorgeous albums, but sometimes I miss the crazy perfectionism she would put in her early works (or avex would put on her).
