Lol some of these comments.
And honestly, I didn't mean for this to turn into a MY STORY debate. I'd love to have that conversation all over again but I didn't mean for this thread to turn into that. Anyway, all of ayus albums have a few tracks which aren't the star of the album, but at least in my story they are coherent, lush, and just work together.

Why are people hating on RAINBOW anyway?
It's one of Ayu's timeless bests. Most of the arrangements defy time.

I think that it's because it's hard to like as an album for reasons like it's "too" versatile but mostly ballady, kind of like a bit shorter MY STORY (hence people's problems with it). RAINBOW really has awesome songs but sometimes it's not all that to listen to as an album.
It actually has 5 ballads but feels like it has more for some reason. I think that a change of the tracklist could really help.

The overall vibe I get from RAINBOW is like the one I get from NEXT LEVEL. The singles stick out like sore thumbs, but everything else is pretty solid. (THEY DO NOT SOUND SIMILAR)

Lol at everything becoming a MY STORY debate where the same things are repeated over and over again (and I love it, doublelol),
So, I just found out RAINBOW is hated: how the hell did that happened?! Especially in this thread, where we're talking about transcending songs, I mean, all of RAINBOW is the most trascendental, unearthly sound experience delivered by Ayu imo. A lot of Ayu albums are epic, but RAINBOW is the epitome of timeless.

Well, disliking or not really being into RAINBOW was certainly the popular opinion from 2003-2008 at least... not sure about now.
http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13191 There are also a lot of other polls and such where RAINBOW just so happens to end up in the bottom. Basically, for a lot of this forum's lifetime, it was like... I am... > LOVEppears/Duty > everything else But recently, I've found that people are more MY STORY / (miss)understood > Memorial address > the others lately.

You shouldn't have linked that thread. My innocence is ruined forever. The hate towards RAINBOW... I can't. I was better not knowing. I don't know why, but I never heard anyone say anything bad about that album till now, lol. (But, really, guys: can we imagine ten years from now, everybody praising LOVEagain masterpieceness and reading our old posts, saying "Omg, how could those people not realize how fab this album is, they were all so deaf"?)

Not me, NEXT LEVEL was love at first sight!  But I'm still waiting for a turn of the tide for people starting to glorify Sunrise/Sunset covers, lol. (And, yes, I liked them. Still do.)But, honestly, everything one says about a song in the first year after its release is void. You're just rehearsing for your true opinion debut.

I dunno why people were so angry about NEXT LEVEL. It's a good album.
And Sunrise/Sunset's meltdowns were just... too much.

About the new single, it doesn't sound exactly dated but rather cheaply produced, which is happening with kuu too lately. I guess avex is just giving them all namie's rejects or something.
I don't think Party Queen and LOVE again suffer from that though, instead they have their own problems of cohesion and stagnancy.

And Namie hasn't worked with Komuro in how long? I assume that it only sounds 'cheap' because they didn't exactly go with progressive electro producers for arrangement.
