I liked the dated aspects of Love songs' sound, I just think every song on it is like.... someone else already did this in the past, and they did it BETTER. Like "sending mail" to me sounds like "Get it on now" by globe meets "Mirrorcle World," but without committing. "Like a doll" is a song with the same lyrical concept as "Marionette" but with no dynamism (and the keyboards sound very sleepily/lazily played).

I like the melodies on that album more and more over time, but EVERY track on the album aside from "Last angel" and "Love songs" needs some kind of new mix or a replaced instrument or two. "November" is good as it is also, but that one just isn't to my taste as much as the rest of the album frustratingly COULD be if it were just.... I mean it just needed another couple of weeks, a few test listens from outside parties, you know?
