Yeah, I enjoyed immensely Party Queen, it had a much more personal approach from Ayu, and the most interesting lyrics in a while. Her take on happiness in Letter is amazing.
I think I'm divided on it musically, because one side of me wishes they did a better job with it. I mean, even a person like me that doesn't really understand anything about stuff like mixing or arrangement, can tell by comparing with other songs that the work done here isn't that great. But the other side of me enjoys this "raw" and "cheap" feeling of these unrefined songs which can blend so well with the concept they tried to convey. Even the booklet shoots are perfect imo: she looks so glamorous, even when it's evident she's selfdestructing. The alcohol, the messy background, they all look "pretty", this is such a strong and good image for describing the diva world.
