this. I have maybe a um.... 4 songs I actually like on it MOON & blossom for sure maybe crossroads and Love song, but only the first 2 sound decent to me on it. I cannot stand her vocals there too except for those 4 or 2 songs. instrumentally wise the rest maybe were alright but, i just found it absolutelly weird and messy....

I didn't really like Love Songs or Five. Just too many ballads.

Party Queen despite it being a Huuuuuuge mess, grew on me. It's kind of so bad that it could be good.

I've come to appreciate all of her albums, but if I had to choose, I'd say FIVE. The visuals of the album are perfection but the songs themselves (save BRILLANTE) were kind of forgettable for me. I had a problem with NEXT LEVEL for the longest time but recently I've come to like it much more. The first Ayu album I ever heard was MY STORY and I truly enjoyed it at the time but now it's the album I listen to the least.

Rock'n'Roll Circus.
I only love Don't look back *excellent lyric!* and Sunrise/Sunset...
Well the PVs are not so bad...
My memory for countdown, last links, meaning of love, etc is blurry @_@
But at least it got a stunning booklet <3 love the booklet.

Rock'n'Roll Circus - too many ballads and it really doesn't fit the circus theme (i was expecting something more darker 'cuz the first 3 songs were very promising)
My Story - too long with the same genre (although it has grown a lot on me - at the beggining i used to hate it)
A Song For XX - awful vocals

A Song for XX - used to love it but after sometime the vocals start to really get in my nerves, specially Trust and For My Dear... she is just annoying in this two tracks, although I love the remake for Trust in A BEST a lot.

Rock'n'Roll Circus until Party Queen - Some good singles and album tracks but overhall, I tend to just skip a lot of the tracks, most annoying being, meaning of Love, You were..., sending mail, Like a doll, Thank U (it's just like Replace and MY ALL mixed together, long annoying and boring), November, all the songs in FIVE, except maybe progress, but even this one is annoying to the extreme, call, sounds like every other pop song in the Top 40 American Charts, do not dig, Letter for the same reason plus it sounds like a song I really hate but can't really remember from a english speaking singer, do not know if US or UK, but annoying none the less, same thing with reminds me.

GUILTY, because it sounds like she couldn't even be bothered to try.

RnRC because it's tacky tacky tacky.

I'd have to say My Story as well. I've grown to like it, but the era just felt so.. mellow, too mellow. It had decent singles, and a great song or two but overall it was just too many ballads. And most of them sound so much alike that i can't point them out, they blend together too much. Which is why as a whole it lacks for me.

And i guess Party Queen too, it lost steam so quick. It lacks any really interesting ballads, something which Ayu usually always win me over with.

A Song for XX - Horrid vocals, generic tracks
My Story - The whole ballad section just sounds like one big boring ballad
Secret~Guilty - The creative low of her whole career... They really sound like she wasn't even trying.
Rock'n'Roll Circus - From Count Down to Last Links it sounds like one big boring ballad.

Rainbow, It has some of my favorite songs, but an as an album it really feels incomplete, rushed, and some songs sound similar and not in a good way. I can never listen to it fully without skipping.

MY STORY see my Rainbow's descption+ drags on for too long. I think i would have liked it more if it was only 12/13 tracks.

Rock'n'Roll Circus it has like 1 rock song, and the album is called rocknroll circus, thankfully i'm grateful for that, because at this point i was bored with rock and liked NEXT LEVEL's direction. The album tracks dont mesh well at all, and this is the only album where i think there isn't one outstanding staple song that keeps me going back for more...maybe BALLAD but i got bored of that song.
