petal sounds like a mixture of Pride and alan's 悲しみは雪に眠る, as well as a hint of Marionette in there. Except I do not particularily enjoy Pride, and that Marionette and alan's song are both better than Petal.
If you haven't heard alan's song, take a listen: It's hauntingly beautiful and tragically sad. |

Lol, shut up.
I love Wake me up. It has everything. Sexiness, Power, and a kick-you-in-your-face chorus. I also enjoy Missing, another song with a nice kick-it-up-a-notch chorus. However, most of the new songs on LOVE again fail to deliver in that regard. Once the chorus comes along, it's just so watered down. I like songs that make me feel like this during the verses: and this during the chorus: (O_O). These songs make me feel content with the verses, but lose me when the chorus comes in. I don't mean to be a sour puss, I really don't. But the word masterpiece is being thrown around a lot and I just have to bite my tongue... I miss songs like 1LOVE, Microphone, is this LOVE?, GAME, About You, my name's WOMEN, Moments, JEWEL, talkin' 2 myself, Naturally, I Am..., Duty, Endless Sorrow. Those tracks that sound like they were just born perfectly - that you couldn't improve on the final product even if you tried. Although there are many songs I disliked at first for similar reasons (failing to deliver on the chorus) [Sending mail, November, Sweet Season, Last angel, BALLAD, fated] but I ended up cherishing and/or obtaining a like to, so hopefully that is the case for me once again.

I wish petal had a PV so much! The guitar at the end <333
Bye-bye darling is pretty cool, I really liked the arrangement! and SAKURA can make one cry it's so touching!! untitled ~for her~... story 2 is... beautiful I want it LIVE! If anything for some reason the album really reminds me the middle of (miss)understood. We're missing Gloria and the interludes. |

Jk Jk but I agree, the choruses on these songs are not as good as previous songs. My main issue is that the chorus is repeated like 5 times, leaving only 2 verses. That's usually what makes a song easy to get tired of. |

Last angel I enjoy a lot now, but I always have this fantasy in my head of remixing it - really pushing the synthesizers. Last edited by Zeke.; 3rd February 2013 at 10:11 PM. |

A lot of my favorite Ayu songs come from her later albums, as I can't stand her voice in some of her earlier albums (ie. A Song for XX and part of LOVEppears) I can also be sometimes called a sourpuss or and Ayu snob, as I detest some of Ayumi's most popular work like "Dearest", "Endless Sorrow", and "No way to say". I do miss Ayu's tracks that had rockier feel to them, like "1 LOVE", "About You", "is this LOVE?", "Microphone", "my name's WOMEN", "GAME", and "I am". When I first heard "talkin' 2 myself", it was slightly off-putting. Now it is one of by favorite tracks from GUILTY. "Naturally" was one of the first Ayu songs I've ever heard, and it really cannot get more perfect. I can see how this can be your least favorite Ayu album. With all these medium ballads, it's like Love songs II. I wish she threw a track that sounded like "About You" in here. That being said, how could you dislike "sending mail" and "Last angel"? |

In short, I miss the songs by Ayu that make you feel like you've just stepped onto a rollercoaster; thrilling, heart-racing, super exciting. If you've ever been on that Aerosmith Rock'n'Rollercoaster at Disneyworld that goes from 0 to 57 miles per hour in 2.8 seconds, that's what Ayu's music used to feel like to me. Now it's more comparable to stepping onto a gondola and floating down the water at a much slower pace. Last edited by Zeke.; 3rd February 2013 at 10:29 PM. |

lol i actually also never was a huge fan of sending mail or Last angel, they're just blaah for my ears xD actually i got borred of Love songs really quick, i can't say i would want to listen to any of the tracks on it on repeat, not even november or love song which i really enjoyed at first, i got tireed of the whole album after 3 times of listening to it, plus i wasn't really into her vocals there at all...
this one i dunno i love the arangements, most are really rich in instruments, which i love and ayu's vocals are one of her bests on this: it sounds mature, soft , but powerful and has gorgeous vibrato. PQ & this deffinitelly gets a 10/10 on vocals. Love songs...i don;t know if it would go over 5 lol i need to hear Gloria, cuz i don't even remeber what it sounds like anymore xD

In most of the songs from A Song of XX her voice is to much like a bird chirping outside your window when you're trying to sleep. That's why having the songs remixed in ayu-mix and ayu-ro mix is a must for me.

^^ lol birds are alright, she sounds like i dunno what xD and remixing wouldn't help i think,unless they cut out the vocals or as usually do, leaves like 2 words from it (and calls it A SONG *rolleyes*)... she needs to re-record the vocals. I mean the A BALLADS version of A SONG FOR XX sounds amazing! i bet lots of songs from here earlier albums would sound great with her curent vocals if done right.

damn that sucks for you (not in a mean way), I think it's amazing I feel the exact opposite of you, love songs was "boring" to me. and party queen was a mess. I'm very very pleased with this album. Her vocals are excellent in this album. However, I definitely agree that the verses in this album are better than the choruses. The choruses need a little work. Like the verse in sakura. It's beautiful but the chorus is a litte bland.

From what I've heard, I think this will be a good album.
Next album tho, I'd really want something with more attitude and personality. |
