Of course that is in no way a sample big enough to get to objective conclusions, but it did make me think. It seems to have to do with expectation and alienation really. People that go into "Party Queen" not knowing Ayumi yet seem to think about it VERY differently from long-term fans.

Could just be to do with the fact that as Ayu fans, we've heard tracks like Return Road with over dramatics on pretty much every album since Duty, and got a fair share of midtempo rock MY STORY to last a lifetime. This isn't considering lyrics, as I imagine the sample didn't include people fluent in Japanese.

...and that, really, while ESM and TNL are fun songs that are different, neither live up to real West End or Broadway tracks, and neither are they creative enough to be fun jazzy experimental tracks.

I personally think PQ is just as by the numbers as Secret, or Rock'n'Roll Circus, or NEXT LEVEL - it was just worse because I thought FIVE and Love Songs had kicked her out of that. It's not as bad as the main offender RnRC, but it was bad enough to make me roll my eyes and think I've heard it all before - sans ESM and TNL.

Yes! Love count down!

[Zeke.]

count down grew on me a lot I really like it, especially R'n'R Circus Tour LIVE version!!

[Jawdarna]

That's always been something that interests me about Rock 'n' Roll Circus.
It's a great album really.
There's only two songs on there that I truly do not like (Lady Dynamite/meaning of Love - they're just not memorable for me).
It just has a terrible, terrible setlist like Rainbow (if that makes sense?)
Seriously, Free & Easy JUST after Real Me?
It's not structured well.

I felt like Party Queen suffered this a bit too.
It's great to have diversity in albums.
But too much and it seems to end in disaster.
I mean, compare ESM, to HBYA, to NaNaNa, it's ridiculous. XD

I think that LOVE is going to work really well as you can hear the relation between the songs, but there is still substantial difference between them.

I like that Party Queen have only 1 ballad, and every song is diffrent from each.

and I love/like ESM and tnL. Maybe tnL isn't even my top 30~~ but ESM is brilliant song.

I like when her experimental tracks (not a ballad or a mid pop/rock like Life, momentum, Sweet Season, Missing etc or generic rock/angst or happy guitar flavor song - Last Links, call, (miss)undestood, It was etc or "happy bubblegum pop" like BF, BB, or glitter) goes in "ayu" way - like Sparkle, ESM, Pride/tnL, Sexy little things etc - they are "unique" and you can't compare em to any specific genre or similarity to other artist - I don't like when experiment goes in "western" way like You & Me. Ayu is not even unique because shes japanese/asian (it's same with KPOP - it does have very common beats/arragments with Western music, but in the end it's - KPOP and it's unique - because of music elements, lyrics and language). Ayu is unique cause she is Ayu, and there is like no other artist (japanese, western, any) that have any in common with Ayu - sometimes they share similar arragments/music genres but she make the genres very her own (it's like "it's not a rock really - it's a Ayu-rock") I like those experimental genres she could sound "Ayu-jazz" "Ayu-dance" etc. You & Me genre doesn't fit her (IMHO). But "call" sound a bit like western poprock song, and still have the "Ayu-element" in it.

some people like songs that no one else likes.
I really like love refrain and everywhere nowhere.
