I came to the album fully ready to drag The Show Must Go On. I had good reasons too! The YEAH YEAH YEAH bits are some of the shrillest things ever, it's a carbon copy of snowy kiss and I may love that song but do we really need another, and why SUCH INTENSITY in a song that's basically a love letter to fans? Then the song started, and it was even more of a mess than I was expecting (Check those random yells in the chorus!)... and then I fell completely in love with it. I can still hear the problematic parts but I can't even get mad, the damn song totally works! I love the frantic feeling, I LOVE the arrangement, I get totally pumped when listening, I really wanna sing along... This sounds like it would be awesome when heard live.

You win this round, Ayu. THE SHOW MUST GO ON!

Aside from that, I need some more time to digest the album, but I already love NO FUTURE and liked WARNING a lot more than back when the previews came out.
