I feel like a lot of the music is very good but alan's voice doesn't suit it. Or vice versa, when she sings it's a great melody but the background instruments don't fit.

But I love Butterflies <3. I wish Essence of me was a full song . And had more alan xD.

@_@ The album is boring. And there is no variety at all! I was really looking forward to this album because it got more new songs than Voice of Earth, but those songs are... It seems that they just filled it with ballads and some strange fails of upbeat tracks like Call my name & Essence of me. There are no good and strong songs like on Voice of Earth. I'm afraid that alan is going in a wrong direction. She should try smth new, or she'll just fade away~

I like only BALLAD, Swear & Kuon no Kawa. T__T Of course, I'll give another chance to this album, but the first impression is really really bad.

So far this album is a huge snooze-fest lol. And reflection ~overture~ was honestly terrible, as is Call my name. One was okay, but not memorable and Lost child has an okay chorus.

My life is so boring!! I only liked the single tracks so far...

My first impression is quite bad, I hope it'll change for me but the songs are so boring to and I can't remember the melodies apart from the single tracks'~

I thought it would be better!!

hmmm the album, I think, is not as good as VoE. The melodies just don't really grab me, unfortunately.
Mitsumeteitai has a very nice arrangement along with Essence of me and Nobody Knows but me.
I still really like my life the song, though.
hmmm not sure if I'll get it or not...

lol I guess no one really liked the album, or is just that the AHS are always too critical? xD

I'm downloading nowww

i do love my life but only about 75% -80% of it, need to listen to whole album properly.
But the quality of some of the songs warrants the the whole album.
but its great that alan is experimenting with different styles

I like the album, as a whole <3 I haven't digested the new tracks yet as seperate entities.

I like the sort of direction she's going in, I think it's still very rough and she hasn't made it her own yet. In the coming months, I think we'll start to see a better blend of that traditional alan we love and this new poppy alan that'll be <3

I love the interludes xD

they sound like they should be part of NEXT LEVEL





EDIT: I loved the album! I guess the problem could be that we didn't have as many singles as we had for VoE... so that could be the reason why people ain't feeling this album yet. The songs are really cute and gosh, the ballads as beautiful as always <3

I really hope this album does well
