Apparently, you don't know how things have been going on with avex and these forums...

avex sends copies of the album to AyumiFans and AyuChina. I'm not 100% sure why, but I guess it's to control leaks. They get the albums/singles a week ahead of time and get to leak it as avex allows them. (It explains why the higher ups are the only ones with the albums so early, and also explains why in the past we only had 320kbps 30 second clips for some albums.)

Do you know the reason why the only 320kbps rips we have are of the PV clips? The PV clips have been released and for the most part, people already have the full songs. It's too complicated to explain, but just understand that avex is behind this in some way, haha.
Had no idea about this! I was wondering why you were saying AyuChina was getting a copy of the album.

Suddenly it all makes sense why they leaked the PV songs in HQ, but the new songs in terrible quality *nod* And if they were to break this "agreement" with avex, they probably would not get the CDs anymore to leak. Plus they'd probably threaten them with copyright infringement if they don't do as avex says.

so now that my internet finally works I can post my thoughts on the album I made a playlist and listened to it all in order

THE introduction -> Horrible really, it was so boring and too blah. It's definitely her weakest introduction ever.
Microphone -> Awesome in HQ, this is such an amazing song *___*...
count down -> GORGEOUS VERSES GORGEOUS ARRANGEMENT, kinda blah chorus though. But I really like it !!
Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~ -> WORST SONG EVER. This is like my complete least favorite Ayu song, and it doesn't work on this album. Just no.
BALLAD -> After Sunset, it feels more boring then it already was :l These two songs shouldn't have been placed back to back, it makes the whole section of the album drag.
Last Links -> omg <3 This was my least favorite preview, but it's SO amazing. It's such a different kinda ballad from her, it's really beautiful <3
montage -> beautiful piece of music. It's so unique from her, but I dunno if I really like it as an interlude. It feels like it belongs on an instrumental album by itself, not leading into a song.
Don't look back -> I really don't think montage leads into it well :l... I LOVE this song so much though, especially in HQ, it really shines *___* it became the centerpiece of the album for me.
Jump! -> my first reaction "WTF IS THIS ****" it's really bad ._. what happened with the interludes on this album Ayu? NEXT LEVEL's interludes blow these away...
Lady Dynamite -> omg it's so nice to be able to hear this song. The PV rip was so weak and muffled, hearing it in HQ is like hearing it for the first time all over again *___* it's so catchy <3
Sexy little things -> Wow a lot of these sound effects were really in the song :O I really love this song, it's the most catchy amazing unique thing she's done in a long time <3
Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~ -> Sunrise I love you, but wtf are you doing here lol. Flow=nonexistant
meaning of Love -> I'm actually really surprised. Based on the preview I thought this would be Sunset2 and I'd hate it. But actually, it kinda is Sunset2 but I really love it Her vocals are really nice!
You were... -> this placement kinda makes sense I guess, since You were... starts off pretty slow like moL. It makes the most sense out of any of the songs.
RED LINE ~for TA~ (Album Version) It's essentially exactly the same, except for the acapella. It's cool, but it kinda feels... cheap. Oh well, it's RED LINE and I like the song so it's all cool

All in all, this is a pretty decent album. It's got real low points. But it's a thousand steps up from NEXT LEVEL, and a definite step in the right direction <3

Haha, who really cares what someone else thinks though, you know?

Reminds me of Final Fantasy XIII in a way. There's going to be bitter haters even though it's GORGEOUSSSSSSSSSSSS. Not saying anyone was hating though. -hides-

Rock'n'Roll Circus... just... -foams at the mouth-

i thought this album would have had more singles. I have a feeling she only had 2, so she could save her next, her 50th single for something special, and not related to this. I wonder. maybe the new unreleased song has something to do with it. kind of makes me think of rainbow with a short demo version instrumental was available for download. at the time it was an unreleased song. I'd laugh if the new song is called rock n roll circus. lol rainbow all over again. only without the whole "write your own lyrics" thing.

Nah, one person's negative thoughts shouldn't say anything about the album. If anything, the overwhelming positive (for the most part) reaction should be getting you pumped up!

I listened to the album tracks about 4-5 times... and this album is AMAZING. Rest assured, unless somehow you haven't liked anything that has come out in the last 3 weeks, haha.

Yeah.. there's like 99% positive comments at JPM. That's a pretty big deal lol.
It's nice to see people loving the album so much even from the LQ.

Nya I think it's a worthy buy album. And deserves to sell a lot more than NEXT LEVEL ^^. Anyway I'm just waiting to listen with 320kbps to write my review *_*. I think sunset suits well in this album. Actually, I kinda started likes this music but sunrise shouldn't be in R'n'R C. It just doesn't fit with the album proposal.

hey, go to the official trhead for opinions, and you will read full reviews about the album saying its ********** amazing! ^^

I didn't find GRACE review bad ^^ but GRACE, you are the only one who posted your full review here while the others are in chat-room... as not everyone goes to the chat-room, they only saw yours to read an opinion of the album XD

omg can't wait, I'm dying seriously T_____________T

and yeah... I think this album is getting a lot of love, just read one spanish blog that hated everything since NL (included) and now say that the goddess is back ^^

I didn't read GRACE's comment cuz I dun wanna get the details of the songs . But I believe GRACE won't make really nasty negative comments (judging from what his usual posts ). It'll be good if one loves all the materials inside an album, but I think this doesn't occur that often. So no big deal .

OMG I dunno that her next single will be her 50th single!!! (Well I should've known, but lately I didn't count). This one must be an epic then haha. OK now this really pumps me up!!

Edit: I went on wiki and it said You were.../BALLAD is her 47th. So I guess A song is born + Together When don't count. I guess we'll have to wait longer for her 50th...
