WTH is up with all the interlude hate?!?!?! BOO ON ALL OF YOU! Her interludes are WONDERFUL and I think they are an essential part of her albums.

[TakaSama]

^ except when having interludes means only 4 or 5 new songs!

Imagine Duty with 2 more interludes... you'd lose two whole songs!

[aloopy]

i hope she pulls another Duty with an introduction at the beginning.

Yea, cause interludes are so much better than full tracks.

Sometimes the interludes add to the album as a whole. IMHO Marionette would have been way too long if ~prelude~ hadn't been a separate track - while Marionette is a good song without ~prelude~, having it there allows me to enjoy the song in it's full form if I wish. Also for Opening Run~Connected, I think the interlude adds to the album (I always thought that going straight from I Am... to Connected would've sounded weird!)

I agree that heaps of interludes will be detrimental but they're generally listenable both on their own and in the album. The task* interludes are great, I wouldn't be disappointed if one came up in the new album.

theres nothing wrong with them!!

i think that everybody just want to hear new songs with lyrics, thats all

[milky_way]

I hope she doesn't overload it with interludes like GUILTY was.

[panda87]

2 interludes only please, AYU!!!!

2 ballads and more experimental sounds. im tired of the boring congested rock songs and "i won't give up! wow wow yeah/la la la" kind of songs.

i just expect the unexpected, not the [recent] usual generic music

Okay, back to business. Interludes are actually nice... they help with the flow of the album, imagine GUILTY without The Judgment Day... glitter would sound SO awkward.

But again, if an album needs to have 3/4 interludes/intro like GUILTY, then there should be MORE album tracks.

So for something like NEXT LEVEL, which only has 13 tracks, I would only want AT MOST 2 interludes... because like the full songs are definitely going to be "juicier" than an interlude...

[NintendoHTF1242]

She should only have an Introduction (Like with Duty)

[Max_ZZZ]

^ LOOOOOLMAO AT TRUST MY BRA

anyways, so we have certain facts about the album so here are things we can be sure of:

- there is NO Mirrorcle World, since she is filming a third pv and we know she won't exclude the other two singles

therefore...

out of 13 tracks:
- 4 are songs we know
9 tracks left:
- 3 of them are new videos
6 tracks left...
and so we have a potential
NINE NEW TRACKS maybe even ten if there is a hidden track!!
i think if she goes easy on the interludes thisll be full of new material
