1. Bridge to the sky
Reminds me of Sparkle... But in a good way <3

2. NEXT LEVEL
BLUE BIRD meets Beautiful Fighters <3

3. Disco-munication
Disco meets orientinal

4. EnergizE
Sounds like a happier version of "Womanizer"

5. rollin'
It's umm... different? XDD I'll wait for the full version for this one.

6. Load of the SHUGYO
It DEFENTALY sounds like something out of Sonic! XDDD

7. identity
B'z meets ROCK STEADY

8. LOVE 'n' HATE
my name's WOMEN meets decision

9. Pieces of SEVEN
Sounds like a soundscape song. <3 I never expected this one to be the relaxing trance song! XDD

10. Curtain call
teddy bear ~part II~


(I am gonna LOOOVE this album! )

Hmm I'm not really feeling the previews at the moment. The quality sounds really bad, but from what I can hear, the songs don't sound as good as previous albums. I only like LOVE'n'HATE so far.

[kumikomishitate]

Meh. I have to wait until good quality previews come out because I could barely even hear Bridge. I'm a little iffy with the album so far, but it'll probably change. I just don't really expect many "live" performances during the next tour. XD

[kendelle]

It's just soooooooooooo damn tempting to download the tracks but I think I will wait and listen when my album arrives. Sorry, I'll have to leave my opinions til then!

It's great to see all ofyour opinions though, looks like I'll have to hear them myself to make up my mind

[se7entheaven]

this album is goin to be the best album ayu's had! I've been thinking if ayu does a dance/trance track again...I alwys wish I can dance to ayu's song like I do with kuu-chan. I hope this will be the album that I'll be listening for the rest of the year^^

All the songs seems really new style and just GREAT

[Kazeyomi]

AHS don't go unaviable now Pleeease ;__;

Even if the quality is really bad I try to write my thoughs on those previews

Bridge to the Sky - Perfect way to start an album <3 I like it
NEXT LEVEL - Sounds so nice *_* A more happy version of GREEN.
Disco-munication - I don't get why they put another interlude after just a song.. anyway sounds wonderful. Too bad isn't a full song ;_;
EnergizE - omg.. sounds like an electro version of Beautiful Fighter! But sounds different from her previous happy songs.. I don't know lol.
rollin' - Sounds like a great song! But the lq don't makes me hear much of it
Load of the SHUGYO - Wow this is one of her best interludes.
identity - argh, it quality is really bad than others.. but sounds nice.
LOVE n' HATE - At first I was 'lol, SE7EN?' anyway I like it, finally she seems returned to r'n'b since Real Me.
Pieces of SEVEN - Sounds like other previous interludes.. nothing new.
Curtain call - Her voice isn't really great (well maybe is just the LQ) but sounds like a wonderful ballads.

Ok, as someone said NL seems a breath of fresh air. I can't wait to listen it.. sounds amazing. Finally a great album *_*

[Zeke.]

^ I know, I caved and ran right to the DL section. Listened to about 15 seconds of each and deleted the folder right away so I won't spoil them. I don't even remember them really, lol.

[ayumisrael]

Since the previews are really low quality I will write my opinions about the album/songs after we will get the full thing in cd quality in 11 days =D (of course I will download before my copy will arrive).
For now it sounds like ayu took great time experimenting and it's indeed sounds like a "breath of fresh air", it's totally different from every album she has done, it's wierd in a great way. So to confirm everything and give the songs a right opinion I will wait.
From the previews I was not dissapointed but the opposite, I was surprised to find great material sounding songs (even we barely hear things), so I will wait.
Very excited.

P.S.
The interludes are -nothing- to complain about at this point.
They sound really interesting.

[Miss Scarlett]

I could barely hear a thing, but from what I could hear, I REALLY liked!<3 LOVE' n' Hate and Identity sound amazing, and energizE sounds like her best super happy song ever.

Especially loved Curtain Call, the only song I could hear properly. I think her voice sounds great like this, I have no idea what you people are talking about xD You prefer the squeaky voice, then o_O

I wish pieces of SEVEN was a full song

[stickyrice]

EnergizE sounds like it'll be a fun song for me to get dress to when I go out
rollin' and LOVE 'n' HATE will probably be my favourite songs on the album, singles aside.
I can barely hear identity so I can't pass judgement on that song.
NEXT LEVEL has that "breezy" and "fresh" sound which I LOVE so that's also another song I'm looking forward to as well as the video.
Her vibrato never bothered me like it does with other members so I really really like Curtain call.

As for the interludes, I'm liking Bridge to the sky and Load of the SHUGYO. Pieces of SEVEN is just blah and Disco-munication is just there so nothing really spectacular there.

I think this album will definitely be fun to listen to but in no way will I rank this as one of her best or my favourite.

[Emperatriz Ayumi]

I haven´t listened to all of them yet, but I FELL IN LOVE with curtain call... It´s a really beautiful ballad!!!

Ayu rules!!!!!!!!!

[kuri♥ayu]

My favorites in order (not including interludes) are:

identity
rollin'
LOVE 'n' HATE
NEXT LEVEL
Curtain call
EnergizE

^i really love those first 4!!!!!!!! (so far lol) and Curtain call sounds good too, but for now i'm not really in loveeeeee with EnergizE. it's just kinda eh ;p

i cant waitttttttttttttttttt for my copies!!!

[love in music]

not getting the womanizer comparison to EnergizE. i've listened to womanizer about a billion times and know what it sounds like, and i'm hearing nothing similar in EnergizE o_o

[czh_genesis]

you guys are just 'impressive'
i can barely hear anything from the preview
ha

[ohsixthirty]

i FREAKING LOVE IT.

i'm so hyped up about this album!!!! every song sounds really great so far!

[pchan1986]

i think this album has alot of 80's beat to it but i love next level and love n hate the most. i wish there was more rock/slow songs tho -_- but im loving the new beats so far

[Jwiz]

The interludes sounnostalgicded quite promising, and i think they've justified themselves.

Title song is very refreshing and catchy! LOVE' n' HATE is funky and i love Curtain Call for its nostalgic feel

I want high quality previews!

[jknza2664]

Well, the quality is bad almost to the point where I don't even feel comfortable speculating as to what this album will sound like, yet I can't help feeling that it will be good. The cover struck me as kind of cheap so I was skeptical, but even the cover's grown on me and you shouldn't "judge books by their covers" anyway. I'm kind of disappointed by the number of interludes, but it's not unprecedented with Ayu albums at all. Her interludes are always good, but does anyone ever think "HEY! I feel like listening to taskinwhatever SO BAD right now!" ? haha

Anywayyy I'm surprised that this album has me excited. Can't wait for it to come out!

[elvis810]

I'll be a good boy, I'll wait until i get my copy, I'm not gonna peek at any PV/booklet photos either.....I hope I can resist the temptation

[waterballoon]

I can't hear much at this point, but I gotta say I'm still impressed with the album tracks. LOVE n' HATE and identity both sound like theme songs from Super Sentai or Kamen Rider!!!

AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVEEEEEEEE Curtain call! It's so pretty! It seems that the only 2 ballads in this album, Days and Curtain call, will be the BEST songs of NEXT LEVEL!
