Thank you for mentioning this, those songs are terrible for me as well along with reminds me. I just don't think Party Queen is an album that goes with my tastes, though it has alot of the elements that I like to hear in Ayu's music. Bad cover aside, the music just doesn't do it for me. The musical/jazz parts are honestly the best things on the album and everything else just feels like a watered down retread of other songs for me.
Even Love again is more enjoyable to me, because for every insipid tracks there's at least 2 gems to make up for it. That album doesn't get the respect it deserves. Sure, it's demos but songs like Song 4 U (that damn title xD), Missing, Sweet Scar, Melody and Ivy are so solid -or at least they are to me. Is it more that people associate the era with the mini album ripoff and the herbivore?
