My least favorite album is (m)u [also known as (mega)upload]. (I would say asfxx but I'm not even going to touch that, for me it's one of those "listen to once and never again/ It all kind of just flies over your head and you can't remember what any of the songs sound like" type of albums)

What constitutes a bad album for me is the overall look of the packaging/album cover/booklet, when there are more dislike/indifferent songs than there are like songs for me, and the overall feel/flow/genre of the album.

Like = 7
STEP you
Ladies Night
(miss)understood
alterna
in the corner
tasking
criminal

Dislike = 6
Bold & Delicious
Pride
HEAVEN
Are you wake up?
rainy day
Beautiful Day

Indifferent = 3
is this LOVE?
fairyland
Will

I like 7 out of 16 songs.

1. Pictures: The cover is terrible. Thank god in one of them she realizes her hideous monkey smile and covers her mouth. And to top it off with that overly teeth gritting annoying cuteness, she throws in a heart on the side. Really stupid. I'm not really fond of the booklets either as one of them looks like she's picking her nose and in shock, and throughout you can see pics of her doing random things like grocery shopping.

2. Songs: Bold & Delicious is the epitome of terrible ayu music ever. It starts with the obnoxiously teeth gritting "YAYAYAYAGAGAGAGADADADADAWOWOWOWO" that basically makes me want to punch someone. (I'll end there before I turn this into a 3 paragraph rant about this song)
Pride isn't terribly awful, but it's kind of depressing. The shift in pitch throughout the chorus makes me think of a Sad Circus ;_; I absolutely love the beginning with the violins, but once that piano starts - the end of the song, I just dislike it. It's like another attempt at Gospel but in the most depressingly annoying way possible. I will definitely say though that if she ever made an Acoustic Orchestra or Classical version of this song and made it really violin heavy, I'd probably really love it.
Are you wake up? is just an annoying and skippable interlude with a stupid Engrish title.
rainy day is god awful boring beyond belief. It really live up to it's title. It's like renaming the song "boredom".
I don't entirely dislike HEAVEN, but I find it nothing special. I don't think it's anything to orgasm over like the way this forum thinks of the song. I think it's a bit boring and passable.
Lastly, there is Beautiful Day. It kind of teeters on the line of "dislike" and "indifferent", but I have a difference between them. My "dislike" songs are ones I really don't want to listen to and my "indifferent" songs are ones I don't mind/don't care about listening to. Even though I have no real feelings on this song, I still find my self skipping over it on the album, and getting the "ugh...this song..." feeling in my stomach whenever it comes on.

3. Overall: The feeling is actually kind of consistent for me and doesn't feel entirely off although I feel like it was still a bit thrown together with different songs from each genre just to give it that "wow" factor. There's the 1 gospel song (Bold & Delicious), the one weird song (Ladies Night), 3 rock songs (is this LOVE?, criminal, and (miss)understood), and the one "summer pop tune" (fairyland). All we're missing is the one winter ballad, but I guess rainy day is the closest we have.
