Love songs has much better singles but the album tracks drag it down immensely.
RnR Circus was better for me, Microphone is her best song of the year, Love Song is right up there though.

Love Songs, totally! It's such a cohesive album, with really high production value -- both songs and PVs. Everything has such a refinement and largeness to it that someone of Ayu's career level should be putting out. Also, I think her voice is much better on this album, overall. I do miss a "big" ballad from this album, but there are enough mid-tempos to make it OK.

RNRC is one of, if not the, worst album in her discography to me. There are definitely songs on it that I like, but it's all over the place. They also feel very "moment in time" to me. Not that that is wrong per se, but I got over that album very quickly. After Next Level (which ended up growing on me after RNRC came out), I was really hoping for something of a redemption that RNRC didn't live up to.

Well, first time I heard Love songs and it didn't blow my away and I already told AHS that it should grow on me. And it did.
So I can't really decide, and I don't know I should compare these albums, they are both so different. I listen to Love songs now and like it, but on the other hand I love Rock'n'Roll Circus as well.
But, the lyrics of Love songs are stronger, so: that's why I also go with the flow and vote for that album.

Love Songs all the way.

I deleted RnRC off my HD in a week.

I tried, but everything from pv to songs never grew on me.

Love Songs, while I didn't like the single songs too much, had stronger lyrics and album songs<3

RnRC for the better album this year. Though Love Songs have some good songs... But they don't strike me that much, I mean I listen to RnRC til now and I still love it.

Rock'n'Roll Circus has amaaazing album tracks and Love songs has amaaaazing single tracks for me <3

Butttt as a whole, I go with R'n'R Circus. I have no care whatsoever for cohesiveness and whatnot so that did not matter to me. Cohesive for me = similar = boring. R'n'RC has a bit of everything and it makes me excited listening to it while Love songs makes me feel more.. relaxed.

Love Songs is a solid album because all the singles suit with the album theme. it looks like the album has been planned together with the singles
Y/W and S/S really have no connection with RnRC, I cant get the feeling of the album. its like a premature album with no theme to start with.

I love individual tracks on RnRC...and while all of the songs are good on some level, there are very few songs that I want to listen to repeatedly. How few? Four songs--Don't Look Back, Lady Dynamite, Sunrise, and BALLAD.

Now with Love songs...I keep looping the entire album. IMO, it is Ayu's best album to date, and my favorite pop album ever. I can't see myself growing tired of this album, and it will retain a special place in my heart.

Love songs! In my opinion it's her best album since Secret. ^^ I love every single track and both melodies and lyrics are beautiful.
I loved RnRC too (except for Sunset, I always skip that track ;_, but Love songs wins for me!

Singles wise, Love Songs is more superior than RnRC.

Album tracks wise, Love Song is more superior than RnRC.

Both albums lacked something and RnRC seemed to be a forgettable album, not exactly an Ayu album to me

Love Songs.

Rock 'n' Roll Circus isn't too bad either, it has some good songs like BALLAD, Don't look back and You were.... I also liked the PVs for those three.

However, Love Songs is better to me. I like it's covers more, it's theme and most of all: it's consistency. The songs flow and blend together well. I simply love Love Song, Last angel, do it again, November and Virgin Road, also the PVs are cool. I'm very happy with it .

I absolutely agree with you.

Like I always said, I really really dislike RnRC to a maximum. For me, it's not an Ayu album (to me, NEXT LEVEL wasn't a real Ayu album, either). Love songs is since Ayu's last 'real album' GUILTY her next album which is able to amaze me. Wonderful compilation of songs!

BUT, from RnRC era, I can say that I really loved "You were..." and "Microphone". They were good songs!
