Initial thoughts: We are the Queens - I've always really liked this, even though it sounds kind of cheesy.
Words - just a so-so Ayu ballad for me; I've barely listened to it since it came out.
aeternal - Like it more than I thought I would judging by AX-WAT. I actually really like the second half of the song where it picks up tempo a bit.
W - Was really expecting to love this one based on the comments here but found it to be a bit underwhelming. It is in many ways the stand out of the album though because it's not SAFE sounding. I just wish she would cut down on the woah, woah, woahs and lai lai lais a bit. The mixing sounds flat for a rock song.
The Way I Am - So I actually think the acapella version is the superior version of the song, lol. But I really like it here as well and love the lyrics.
Overall, I enjoy the new songs, but am torn about this release in general.
pros: a new release after two years, love the covers, I at least like all the songs.
cons: only three new songs after two years, this is not an album, the songs are not all single quality as promoted, quite safe sounding without a clear direction
