^ Honestly, although I didn't like GIFT or Story much, I feel like the "generic ballad" / "midtempo" card is thrown out a bit too much. My personal sense is when you've hundreds of songs in your discography, it gets harder and harder to differentiate yourself stylistically. I think rather than dismissing certain songs because it 'sounds generic' it's worthwhile to listen out for how they are different. Sometimes you won't find much, but sometimes the payoff is quite good.

I think the Zutto/LM/Walk single is a good example of something that I was ready to write off at first listen, that I gradually grew to love with repeated listens, identifying different interesting nuances in her voice, the melody, the words.

I think it's pretty apparent that Ls is just not my cup of tea whereas you have a persistent hardon for it, so it's best that we just agree to disagree since we won't convince each other otherwise.
