I'm finding the middle of this album really, really difficult to get through. I love Ayu's ballads as much as the next person. But sticking six ballads/mid-tempos in the middle of the album when there are only ten real songs is like the kiss of death tbh. (When I say ten, I'm not counting a Bell or Movin' on without you as it was clearly added as an afterthought.)
I love the new songs, with the exception of Out of control, (gtfo) but this album really suffers from the ordering of the tracklist tbh. There really needed to be a couple more upbeat songs in there to break up the monotony in the middle.
edit: I take it back, Out of control isn't the only song I don't like--The Show Must Go On is fucking painful to listen to. omg I have never found her vocals as grating as I find them in the chorus.
