It's better than music that's mostly just for fun like Colours for me personally since I listen to ayu for more serious things. I guess I'm saying that this ayu wouldn't release an Eyes, Smoke, Magic but I love that song and I love when she does something like that that seems random but somehow helps to cultivate the personality and message of the album.
But while she's kind of getting herself back, I understand her sort of return to her roots approach. Sort of a back to basics era. At least the music seems like it will be good. But it's not Memorial Address quality or anything. It's missing something. She just needs new or better arrangers for the future.
I'll probably appreciate this year of releases later when I'm in the mood for the feel of this era.

everything you said... My english is way too poor to write this down...
The arrangers are the reason I guess. Everything sound kinda similar to each other and they sound pretty chaotic. Even WARNING and Show must go on. After Party Queen I only adored (like, really, adored) Wake me up and NO FUTURE. The rest sounds pretty fillers for me or/and randomly composed without thinking. Pretty rememberable melody had only Zutto/Last minute but they also are kinda fillers if you listen to them a lot.
But that's only my opinion. I still really like Summer diary and have hopes for Sky high, it's a nice song. Not original, yet fun.
Summer diary sounds pretty polished for me. The rest don't.
