Spotlight is really good. Barely any songs that don't just slap you across the face with greatness right off the bat. It's really hard to name special stand-outs when the songs are so consistently good, but I'd say I especially like Inochi (WHAT a way to open an album and show off a new direction for the band!), Coffee (love the classic FLOWER FLOWER keyboards), Anata to Taiyou (LOVE the whispers and atmosphere), Odori (makes me want to move and groove), and Tokei (it's got all the energy of many of the earlier songs in a sunny package this time, and it's great). FLOWER FLOWER is bringing more rock and energy than before, and it caught me by surprise, but it's good. I do feel the lack of slower, more atmospheric songs (like Negai or Aki) on this album and I miss them, but I'm sure they still have some of those up their sleeves for the future.
