Yeah, this stood out the most to me. I know the songs are made for the Japanese market so I wasn't expecting poetry (given they're almost fully in English), but... each song was pretty much describing the same situation (apart from Space Invader) and some of the wording just had me facepalming instead of enjoying the songs. She's had songs before that were not great on the lyrics side before, but this time it was consistant through the album and the music just didn't make up for it. We'll see.
