 Listen before you make a judgement Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
I confess that I used to perceive Ayu as an overrated celebrity who cares more about her nails and hair than the songs she produced. How wrong I was.

I bought this album on impulse a few days ago (just wanted to spurge on something like I always did). As the songs started playing on my Ipod, I realised how shallow I was to judge people by their looks (yeah I thought she looked bimbotic and won’t be able to pull off a song with that high pitched voice of hers).

However, this album kicked off with a pleasant interlude “bridge to the sky” followed by the revitalizing “Next Level”.

The middle part then consists of pop-rock songs like “Rule” and “Green” and ended beautifully with the soft ballads “Days” and “Curtain call”. I especially like Curtain call because it brilliantly portrays the loneliness and yearning for an unrequited love.

To my delight there was no sign of over pitching in Ayu’s voice throughout the whole album, which shows how much she has grown as a singer over the years (I heard some songs in her earlier days over the radio and I thought her voice was too high and sharp in some parts). The tracks are also neatly organized with meaningful interludes to segregate them.

This is my first Ayu album and I am definitely going to support the rest of her studio albums from now onwards (I just purchased GUILTY and placed orders for MISSUNDERSTOOD and MY STORY!!).

Overall, Ayu’s style and fashion might overshadow many other artistes out there to the extent that one may question the credibility of her ability as a singer. But the fact that she remains unbeatable in the music scene after 10 long years sure speaks for itself.

 So yes... Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This is totally a NEXT LEVEL work!

I don't think I will ever have a "bad" opinion regarding any AYU's work. As always AYU's songs are full of meaning and emotions. Beautiful!

The DVD is excellent. I don't know what else I could say... everything's FANTASTIC!

So yes... another GREAT WORK!

 Into the NEXT LEVEL Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This album has so many styles of music. I really like Bridge to the sky+NEXT LEVEL, the prelude plus the song makes me feel like going to a paceful place. Then the electronic part fills me up of energy (like the title's song EnergizE). After that, the rock part makes an explosion so we get calm again with Days and Curtain Call
I bought the 2CD+DVD version and I have to say that the live CD is GREAT, the vocals are awesome and you can hear her hand's pain (so touching) but also, i have to say that this would be perfect if the DVD of few songs of the concert (at least GREEN, will and Days) was included.

 Love it Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I've been following Ayu's work for half a decade now. Of all of her recent works. this album stands out the most to me. Even though she has released almost a dozen albums or so, this album is very catchy and emotional. Next level is one of my favorite Jpop album all time because of the variety of beats and lyrics. Ayu's best days are not behind her; she is getting better every year. Please buy this great album!

 Super! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I just received the USB and I have to say that I'm in love with it! It was made with so much love, many details and it's also very stylish! I bought the 2CD+DVD first press edition before and I already liked the album so I truly recommend it!

Ayu is the greatest singer ever!

 Superb! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This CD is her best since 'My Story'. A fantastic selection of rock/pop songs that pretty much blows away anything else I`ve heard lately from other J-Pop singers. Ayumi is the best.

Highlights are the title track, 'Sparkle', 'Rule' & 'Love n Hate'.

The video clips are also pretty good with Ayumi being in super sexy mode in the mtv for 'Sparkle'. Its hard to think of any woman anywhere in the world as beautiful as Ayumi Hamasaki and this CD is a must buy.

10/10.

 She'll bring you to the NEXT LEVEL Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
After the dark-themed album GUILTY, NEXT LEVEL gives the freshest and brightest themed album ever.
And surprisingly, this the most creative album I've heard so far.

The album started on "Bridge to the sky" and followed by the title track.
Its a really good transition between two tracks.


After the title track, "Disco-munication" brings to the 4 bouncy tracks, namely:
EnergizE, Sparkle, rollin' and GREEN.

EnergizE is one of my favorite tracks on this album.
The English part is so addicting and very fun to dance to. :)



And then, "Load of the SHOGYO" brings us to the edgy rock theme tunes, namely:
identity, Rule, and LOVE 'n' HATE.


After the head bangin' rock tracks, "Pieces of SEVEN" will blast you away with rock and techno-ish style tunes until you reach the "Days" which give me a really weird feeling for this transition.


And for the grand finale, the piano ballad, "Curtain call", will give you a lovely feeling to close this wonderful album.



About the album art, very futuristic and creative!
I love the colorful theme for this album.



So far, NEXT LEVEL is a very creative album.
I give this album 10 stars!

Highly recommended for those who are in-love of electronica-rock pop. ;D

 Worth every bit of it Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Now that I receive my package from YesAsia.com, I decided to give my verdict again.

First of, the packaging was well done by YesAsia.com, dual layer of bubble sheets and the casing was scratch-less.

Then I was awe-impressed by the USB memory stick.
It even weights nicely in your hands, not too light but heavy enough to feel classy.
The design is stunning with lots of bling blings and shiny metal surface.
It even has 2 partitions, 1 for the Videos, MP3 and PDF Digigtal Booklet and another 1.2GB partition for your usage (as if you would have the heart to use it)

And then the album itself, its great in a sense that it has everything from slow(Days, Curtail Call, etc) to fast paced songs (Next Level, Rollin', etc). It bring you 360 degree throughout the whole album.
Its one of the best album for me.

I would say, I am very satisfied, even from the moment I saw the USB without hearing the album. It was worth every bit of it.

 Not best, but very good Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I find this album very entertaining and with pretty nice flow from one song to the other one. It's style is innovative for Ayumi but it's very well done. Listening to this album as a whole encourages me to rate it high but I know many people will not find it the same as me. Still, I rate it high cause i find joy while listening to it.
