This album took a couple of months for me to fully like. And I had to really give it a proper listen just to realize how good it is.
One of the best tracks is surely the single that managed to sell over 200 000 copies - "手紙~拝啓 十五の君へ~" it's a beautiful piano song with a faster pace.
Even though the album has a solid share of upbeat songs such as "Fighter" and "Reflection", I would say the most impressive part of it are the ballads - "Our Story", "Somebody Stop Me" and "We're All Alone" previously released on Angela Aki's indie mini album titled "ONE".
The cover of Bob Dylan's "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" was also nicely done and fits the whole mood of the album really well.
On the other hand "Requiem" is more than ten minutes long and I rarely find I can listen to it, it's not that it's bad, but it simply bores me a bit as it's too long.
The only thing this album really lacks is diversity, but Angela Aki is really good at what she does, so there are simply times the good formula should not change!
