[Yukitora]

Well, I used to hate it too, but now I love it ^_^ Almost my favourite album (but then of course, almost all her albums are my favourite ^_^)

I think the major problem was the lack of structure and too many ballads/english use. There is like, a fault in the album every 3 tracks, so a lot of people cannot live through the whole CD and therefor think it's horrible as a whole. There are some of Ayu's discography treasures in there! (voyage, hanabi, heartplace, july 1st) so we know it's not all bad. If there was more structure in the album like I am... or MY STORY, then people would given it more credit. Also due to so many tours and everything, I think her vocals kinda shut out which destroyed a lot of songs. They were perfect during Duty, it's a good thing she took a break and regained then (or reach her vocal-peak) the next year ^_^

Some horrible songs in it though I can never stand... WE WISH (way too repetitive/long), Free & Easy (horrible arrangement-have no idea why it is a single), Dolls (*dies*) and somewhat Over (I like 5 seconds of the song...). The other tracks right after it redeem it more or less though.
