Always so interesting to read different opinions!

Overall re(CORD) is a strong album for me.
Usually in the past there was also one song per album I couldn't stand (like WATCH OUT! on DNA, Wonderland on Kingdom, Joyful on TRICK...).
On re(CORD) I like every track.
My other faves are OMG and STRIP, both have great energy and atmosphere.
Sadly for プチョヘンザッ I still couldn't get used completely to the autotune. And for GET NAKED I need to be in the fitting mood with that dark melody.
Which is the great thing about Rich & Famous and SHUTOUT - the melodies hit me and feel pretty timeless.
The simple guitar melody in the bg of Rich & Famous is really soothing and reminds me of the Life is Strange games. Would be a fitting choice for an acoustic live rendition because of that (and I also like CHANCES ALL, just too simple in comparison- she could do a combined version).
The covers are good enough, but as I said I love the original and it's not that old that I need an updated version.

Would pobably rank the songs like this:
Spoiler:

01. SHUTOUT
02. Rich & Famous
03. OMG
04. STRIP
(my most listened songs by far)

05. Summer Time
06. Merry Go Round
07. Eh Yo
08. k,
09. DO ME
10. again
11. プチョヘンザッ!!!
12. GET NAKED
13. GOLDFINGER 2019/Livin' La Vida Loca
