Love the songs on this album. Swap Mirai no Elephant turd out for Hurly Burly and it's perfect. Just one step behind GAME.

Yeah, it's leaked and was uploaded to Jpopsuki a few days ago.

The album is good, I like it. Most of the songs are 'growers' - but after a few listens I think it's definitely their best album since GAME.

I've been waiting patiently to listen to those last 5 new album tracks...
But canada customs decided to keep it for way longer than they ever have before. I know people don't buy ami suzuki CDs, but for gods sake don't keep in customs to laugh at the fact. Take a pic of it, send the package to me and laugh at it later.

I liked LEVEL3 more than I expected I would. I used to not like Spring of Life and consider it somewhat annoying to listen to on the single, but the album version blew my mind. I kept listening to it on repeat. And I think it might be my favorite song on the album (it would be Spending all my time if the single version made it to the album). Which I never thought would happen.

None of the new songs are my favorites, but they are pretty good. I guess I could say I like Clockwork the most of all new tracks. All in all, I think that single songs were better than the album tracks, but that might be because I still haven't gotten into the album tracks more.

To me, Triangle is still their best album, and I'm still not sure how this one ranks. I thought that JPN was a mess (with a lot of good tracks, but maybe not enjoyable as an album because it was all over the place), even if I never heard any of the singles before I actually listened to the album. Triangle, as an album, was so much more cohesive than any of their releases, and you actually feel like you're listening to an album, not a compilation. LEVEL3 is not as messy as JPN, which I really liked.

LEVEL3 is... Alright. I think the album mixes of the singles were kinda meh, I'm still bummed that Hurly Burly isn't in the album. I think it would fit in pretty nicely tbh. Enter the Sphere and Party Maker are great though.

Also, I would rearrange some of the tracks, especially the middle part. It felt a bit awkward to me. Overall, an okay album. Maybe I need a few more listens to like it more, like some have said.

Does anybody have the CD+DVD cover of LEVEL3 but, like, the pink version? I wound up buying CD+DVD because that's all they had in Akihabara.

I feel the chorus of Party maker sounds so randomly put in together with the beats

I like 1mm and Clockwork. 1mm being my favorite. JPN I thought was a huge letdown but that's because at the time of release, the singles were still fresh to me, so I could only really judge my emotions at the time based off of the new tracks. Looking back though, that is a fun album because the singles were just killer. Way better than the singles for this era.

I hate the new mix for Spring of Life - the original was perfect why try to "make it better"?
Magic of Love - i definitely prefer the album version. the original bores me
Samt - i hate this song no matter what version i hear it

^ I don't think the remix was meant to make it better, but to be different. Kinda like an incentive to by the album because the music is different.

I'm almost done with the album and I have to say... I don't think I like it very much... Not to say its bad... but the best I believe are the singles and then everything else is just there...

I might have to give it another listen through.

Finally listened to the Album earlier tonight. Don't like it. It is bad.........again.

What's up with these instrumentals? Music full of no singing. New song pfft.

And it seems they are sticking with the trend of letting their Album tracks remain irrelevant and basic filler, which doubly hurts when the Single tracks suck and need all the help they can get *COUGH*HelpThemHurlyBurly*COUGH*HelpThem*COUGH*.

"Faeuck Yu Inyuyasha Yo" and "Nap Land" stook with me a little but this Album is still a hot mess.

"Handy Man" is tossing "Hurly Burly" all kinds of side eye for leaving it to carry this whole entire AlBomb by itself.

I'm happy I cancelled my pre-order. I like 1mm and Furikaeru to Iru Yo, but most of the other tracks are pretty underwhelming. If they hadn't butchered SoL and SAMT I'd like it more as a whole, but I still think JPN is a better album.

It seems like the reception for the album is just as polarizing as SAMT's reception: split 50/50.
I've only listened to 9/14 tracks and only hate 2 (mirai and point).

Gotta say the album certainly is a grower. I wasn't so into it when the leak came but now, I'm basically playing it non-stop haha. 1mm is def a fave (Party maker would be too if it had verses and didn't sound like an instrumental...). Furi and Dream land are alright...though what surprised me was how furi was the reggae song they talked about and how A-chan/Noochi hit that high note in dreamland o____o.

SAMT was the best mix (didn't sound repetitive as the original, and wasn't as obnoxious and long as cannes) and Magic of love could've done better if it stuck to the original bridges. MnM def didn't deserve it's place. Poor Hurly Burly :'(.

But yeah. A very cohesive album I must say. It's on par with GAME IMO c:.
