Your thoughts on 『NEXT LEVEL』 Album tracks

[ultracat]

Although it is in LQ, the piano track "Curtain call" seems beautiful, creating a good atmosphere to end the album...

High expectation on how this PV will be....

To me, it's really the beat. But I'll wait until I get my copy! (Now that I think about it... It sounds like Hot N Cold but faster! XDD)

[Rocky Raven]

I find myself prefer Guilty much more.
Honestly i feel it's just too popish for me to enjoy, not cool at all, but i hope the HQ will change what I think now

[HELVENEUE]

NEXT LEVEL (song) is gonna be my jam.
EnergizE sounds promising to me.
LOVE'n'HATE sounds good i guess
Curtain Call was better than i expected. I think i'll like it.

[mcluva420]

hmmm not bad, the sound quality kinda ruins it
no song actually "catches my ear" yet.

[Ayu'Kiss]

am I the only one who's not so fond of Curtain call?
mmm, for some reason I can't seem to like it very much.

I did like identity and LOVE n' HATE, they sound cool and refreshing.

But I can't really tell much about the rest of the songs, I'll have to wait for HQ versions to get a better impression.

[AyUta]

Not saying quite yet lol.

[freedreamer]

Bridge to the sky - Barely hear this . It sounds offtune lol. But it feels promising...sounds techno and carnival like.

NEXT LEVEL - Wasnt expecting this at all!!! It really sounds like its leading to something very great. The speed of the song and all that. I dunno but it sounds like...YAY ITS A NEW DAY..SO LET'S ALL HAVE FUN! I was expecting someting more laidback..like she would open the album with a more soothing tone..

Disco-munication - The opening sounds crazy...haha I LOVE THE MID PART!! i hear some oriental stuff!!! (reminds me of one of the remixes from Rule/Sparkle)

EnergizE - High School Musical O.O lol!! This feels very 80s hahah..like some cafe dancing..Hairspray? lol.. It feels too cutesy to me... not a very good thing.

rollin' - what's happening at all??? I sense some Perfume-ness..but yet it has a rock vibe to it..

Load of the SHUGYO - Omg yes!! i knew it. There was gonna have some oriental sounds in it. very Ninja-ish!!! and a bit arabic too...this interlude is cool..omg that outburst was crazy

identity - this feels very groovy and attitude. like (don;t) Leave me alone's verse..I quite like what I hear with the chorus. but its so rusty!!! >.<

LOVE 'n' HATE - O.O i never expected this from Ayu really. She's soooo gonna dance this. (plz)

Pieces of SEVEN - I think it sounds better than reBiRTH..it feels brighter...techno+oriental really...even better than LABYRINTH actually

Curtain call - Wow. Ok its definitely the LQ because i was losing her towards the to end. But I think it sounds realllllly sad. Very farewell-esque. She's trying to soften her vocals I noe it..
Some reason it feels very...western..the feel of the song. I can totally see it playing in those good-bye videos
(it sounds better on the second lesson)

pleasant surprise for me!!! looking forward to it now...very much
*deletes all of them*

[milky_way]

Sadly, I'm not really feeling any of the previews right now I don't know if I can see any of these getting a lot of play when I get the CD. Hopefully, the HQ versions will change my mind.

hahaha so true!

i've sense she's so yasutaka nakata inspired in this album! all of the tracks are so catchy and danceful! especially rollin' ! its so rare of her to use so much vocoder and edited voices, i'm sure i'll love this song!

about the others... NEXT LEVEL sounds okay, a cheerful song at last. discomunication sounds good too. LOVE n HATE is okay, i like it too
, pieces of seven, just like the ppl here said, sounds like RAINBOW instrumental. and at last, CURTAIN CALL sounds AMAZING! it reminds me of jewel so much! i love it

[freedreamer]

I just realize...NOT THAT I DONT ALREADY NOE...but without Pieces of SEVEN...it is very hard to join LOVE 'n' HATE with Days hahahah..

anyway i actually restored the previews from my bin...and heard them again...AND I REALLY ENJOY ALL NOW!!! i tuned up the volume...at least rollin' sounds really promising..identity has a rather old jpop chorus..as in the style..and THAT'S WHAT JPOP SOUNDS LIKE! ^_^

[HanabiChick]

It was difficult to hear some of the tracks, so I can't really tell what I will and won't like. From the ones that I could hear, I did like EnergizE, identity and Curtain call, the rest were harder to hear. I'll wait until I hear the official site previews or the full versions, then things will be more clear.

[ll moments ll]

i like rollin', LOVE n' HATE, & identity, i guess. but yeah, it's so LQ~ xD

i personally like the fact that this album's going to be different from the last couple attempts. it's refreshing!

[wannajoin_Team Ayu]

after hearing all preview, I feel GREEN would be the one can't match with the others, it's style is completely diffrent

for comments....i want to hear higher quality preview/ whole song first~ but some are amazing, really giving 80's beats...so catchy

and finally can't wait Curtain call's pv... feels so heartbreaking to me

disco-munication - Sounds cool.

EnergizE - I think it sounds pretty fun! Sounds like a better version of Beautiful Fighters.

rollin' - This song is definitely the least audible. I can't hear much, but I hear some Perfume-like vocoder in there.

Load~ - Can't hear much.

identity - I think the melody is very B'z and the vocal styling is very Koshi Inaba. I love the drums. I think I'll really enjoy this one.

LOVE 'n' HATE - HOT. I'll definitely love this song.

Pieces of SEVEN - Kaleidoscope ~episode III~

Curtain call - I don't get it.. The whole thing somehow sounds bizarre. From the melody to the awful way she's singing it.

i thought "Kaleidoscope ~episode III~" rather be Marionette -prelude-

[critter333294]

I'd like to hear the tracks in high quality, but I did like curtain call, it seems like a nice ballad and a good way to finish the album off.

[kiseki89]

I dont think I'll like the album... I hope my opinions of the tracks will be better when I get the album

[Zeke.]

I listened to the previews again. I think this is going to be one of my favorite Ayu albums as a whole. Better than GUILTY, Secret, and (miss)understood

I like all the tracks pretty much, with identity being my favorite so far.
I don't get why everyone was saying LOVE 'n' Hate was getting the most love because that's the one I don't find that great. It doesn't really have a good melody for the chorus. Kind of dry.

[alternarist]

i feel that we shouldnt comment on the album tracks unless the full version is out.

more over, the previews are of so bad quality that i rather not listen to them.
