I was finally able to download a full mp3 of A BALLADS and I'm impressed to some extent. I found myself skipping through and only listening to the newly mixed songs, yet felt cheated somehow by hearing Dearest, HANABI, and Dolls. It seemed like I was listening to a CD someone ripped for me and not like a "brand-spanking new" album. Now I'm becoming cautious about buying it again. The new mixes of appears and M are awesome and would definately buy it because of them, yet what's the point of buying an album that has barely anything new?
Sadly, this is one of those albums that you can burn onto a CD-RW disk and not tell that it was an actual album instead of personal selections.
