Something me and 2 friends noticed while discussing RnRC:

1. "The Introduction" - intro
2. "Microphone" - Ayu's love/hate relationship with her career and her needing of music
3. "Count Down" - Ayu's losing her hearing
4. "Sunset: Love is All" - Ayu whispering she loves somebody/something
5. "Ballad" - Ayu beging for someone/something to not leave her
6. "Last Links" - Giving up will not end the sorrow
7. "Montage" - interlude
8. "Don't Look Back" - Forcing herself to keep going and not looking back
9. "Jump!" - interlude
10. "Lady Dynamite" - Nobody wanna hear u complaining
11. "Sexy Little Things" - Even if she looks only kawaii, she is smart and strong
12. "Sunrise: Love is All" - and she shouts her love for something
13. "Meaning of Love" - how much love makes life meanful
14. "You Were..." - how much it feels cold and lonely without love
15. "Red Line: for TA" (Album Version) - If we don't give up, and we go on together, we can make it

---

Maybe we were just smoking something really strong, but it seens that this album is basically about her career post deafness... And how she can take strenght from music and her fans to keep going on, even the order the songs have...

ômg the way u put it.... O.O
the album sounds beautiful. But yea, I too felt like the first part was so angsty and raw while the second half felt like its a new start...
I mean, placing Sunset BEFORE Sunrise is the best way to symbolise that the positive energy towards the end.

Well, further emphasizes why "Don't look back" is right smack in the middle... I did a thread about that

i think don't look back is smack dab in the middle of the album to symbolize that you shouldn't go back to the first part of the album cause that's the worst part of it. >>

This album is very diverse, it's funny to see some ppl's favorites are ppl's least favorites. I love the meaning of love too. I love all the songs on this album. The interludes are alright.

Best songs for me~ Microphone/Last links/Sunset

lol she has way worse songs than that *looks at the ASFXX album*
I wouldn't say it's one of her best ballads but it's sweet & nice to listen to.

i think rock 'n' roll circus is the best album since GUILTY.
All the tracks are nice.
THE introduction - sounds like a transition from NEXT LEVEL.

Microphone -best tune in the album

count down - another more of a rockish tune <3

Sunset~Love is All~ - slow tempo ballad, very soothing.

BALLAD - touching ballad

Last links - i love the strings in the tune. (one of the best tune in the album)

Don't Look Back - bollywood style~~ nice~

montage - sounds like some classical song

JUMP! - a jumpy interlude? with ayu saying JUMP! most of the time.

Lady Dynamite - quite a nice song lol

Sexy Little Things - cutesy electropop <3

Sunrise~Love is All~ - upbeat version of Sunset?

meaning of love - slow ballad quite ok for me~
you were... - my least favourite track on the album, i just cannot relate to it lol.

RED LINE~for TA~ - i don't know what to say just that its a nice song to end off the album.

Ohh where to start... I got my limited box today. Listened to the album, and yeah, I just want to skip all the single songs... I don't wanna listen to them.

The interludes are really really good! I'm surprised of how much I like them! is like they are telling a story! I specially love montage but THE introduction is awesome too!



The album is all about count down and Last Links... those songs own the album to me, then comes Microphone/Sexy little things/Lady dynamite... those 3 are in a same level to me.

Don't look back is just epic, but I do not relate it to the album at all, I mean, that song overtakes the album at every single level, is too good to be in the album (to put it in some way understandable).


RED LINE is a good ending, but nothing else than that.


meaning of love is beautiful, but it could have been like a B-side for a single so after that we did not really have to listen to it (kinda like Life).



Her vocals are really weak... I'm amazed that the editing actually helped some of the songs to sound better, while made others to sound really meh/bad.




I like the album, but less than NEXT LEVEL, less than GUILTY.





In my personal opinion, this should be ayu's last album for now. I wish she could work on her vocals and travel a bit more so she can get some new ideas for new things...

I don't see any better album coming out from her next, I really hope I'm wrong... but I just don't see it.



MOON should be her last single too.

^believe me...you are too hard on your expectation and you are too hard on ayu as well...
you put to much expectation on her...that's why you feel dissapointed and unsatisfied

Just listened to the album last night and I really didn't mind it, which is a big thing coming from me since I really haven't liked anything she's done since MY STORY lol. I don't like all the songs, but it's certainly not a bad album. Her vocals though... :/

My favourites are Microphone, count down, Last Links, Jump! and Lady Dynamite.

Ive changed my thoughts about Microphone. At first i was like "OMG OMG this rocks" then i was tired of it. But when i got HQ 320 on my mp3 player, i fell in love again. Especially for the beginning (makes me think of GAME) and with the latest live (she sounded so good)

Yeah, I realised this playing it on my IPOD.
