A ONE thoughts and reviews

[NintendoHTF1242]

My own personal copy of A ONE finally arrived! I’m gonna listen to it again (the last time I listened to it was through Mediafire cause I didn’t have WinRAR LOL).

a Bell - Yup; still flawless!

WARNING - This song sounds so much better in HQ! The instrumentation has a lot going for it. I still don’t like Ayu’s shrilly “la la la’s” though.

NO FUTURE - Not as bad as I thought when I first listened to it. It reminds me too much of sending mail though, and sending mail is the superior song.

Anything for You - Someone mentioned how even though this song is so long, there is just so much emotion going on in Ayu’s voice and the instrumentation that it doesn’t feel like a 7 minute song. I have to agree. I am pleasantly surprised.

Last minute - Still slays me to do this day. Just wish the mixing wasn’t so awful.

Zutto… - I have always liked this song, actually lol It’s a really beautiful song; and that chorus is killer!

Out of control - Once again, much better in HQ. The guitars are really good.

Story - I loved this song when I first heard it and I still love it. It’s SO powerful.

The GIFT - The intro makes it sound so promising, but this song is so boring.

The Show Must Go On - snowy kiss pt. 2 and I didn’t like snowy kiss lol I don’t feel anything from this song at all.

Walk - Does absolutely nothing for me. It’s okay, but that’s it.

Movin’ on without you - I’m glad avex threw this on as a bonus track. Love this. More plz Ayu.

Overall, not a bad album. It's super generic among Ayu's discography, but Ayu's always made good music. There were probably only two or three songs on here I didn't enjoy at all; but Story, Last minute, Zutto..., Movin' on without you, and a Bell save it for me.
