I'm glad "a Bell" only builds up a tiny bit... If it built up to full-on rock it would make WARNING feel too long, or make it sound like one big long song... many of her past album intros have kinda made the first 2 tracks feel like 1 track.

Holy crap I enjoyed this album so much you guys. SO MUCH. I ended up liking "NO FUTURE" so much more than I thought I would - THE MIX IS AMAZING. The way the chorus kicks up just a notch the first time, I mean... this exactly what I wanted the fast stuff on Love songs to sound like but the mix on that album made the whole thing fall flat for me - I wish I loved that album as much as other Ayu fans seem to, but with "NO FUTURE" I feel like I finally get why people enjoyed tracks like "sending mail" as much as they did. And it's also one of those songs that hits me lyrically, too.

Overall the ballad stretch on the album is like "eh," but that's the case with pretty much ALL the albums Ayu's done with a ballad stretch on there... Glad "Last minute" is in there to break the monotony a bit.
