The ballad ratio is 2:1= too many

Plus like hsienko said I wouldn't mind the amount of ballads if there was actually some variation in them like in RAINBOW or I am... just my two cents.
Hence clearly I was bringing attention again to Ayumi's album release this year that had so much variety.

If the ballads in R'n'RC are to be categorized, there's Sunset that's borderline epic pop, BALLAD with a traditional instrumentation, meaning of Love which is very pop, and You were... with rock elements. How is that all the same musically? I agree that they are lyrically similar...but isn't that what a ballad is supposed to be? A love song?
