hm...this seems interesting. Let me try.

I know this is a big post. I guess I really got into it so here is the too long/didn't read version
01. Take off all the ballads from Next Level and Rock n Roll Circus and put them together to make 'A Ballads 2'
02. Put Rule on RnRC since it fits better
03. Replace Days with its 8-bit of tears Remix since it fits the theme better

Rock 'n' Roll Circus always seemed messy to me. I mean we got Sunrise, Sunset, You were..., and BALLAD. Three ballads and a summer pop song for singles, and then find out the new album is called "Rock 'n' Roll Circus"? What the hell?
Same with NEXT LEVEL. She had that cool 8-bit electronic sound going on with rollin' and identity, and that awesome 8-bit of tears remix for Days, and even the covers followed that theme pretty well. The title itself sounds like it's referring to a video game with powering up and leveling up. However, in the end "NEXT LEVEL" ends up being an upbeat ballad, and the rest of the album is filled with songs like Days, Green, Curtain call, and Rule. A heavy rock song, and a bunch of ballads?
So this is what I'd do.

I'd make NEXT LEVEL a mini album (mainly because I can only listen to the 8-bit sound for so long before I get a headache) with the remix of Days as a bonus track cause it fits the album so much better than the original. I'd also put RULE on RnRC for the same reason. It just fits better.
Then with the left over tracks I'd make another -a ballads- since I really feel like ballads don't work this time around with these two albums.
