Something I've pondered quite a bit about is why Your Mori seemed to be a perfect storm of a project where the only real criticisms of it I've seen has been nitty gritty technical stuff and personal preference. In broad strokes, UnAlive had issues connecting the theme with the all over the place songs, Shinigami Note had issues with the songs just being surface level, and even Sinderella I would say has an issue of too many redundant/filler songs that maybe shouldn't have been in the final release without some extra polish.
If I had to take a shot I'm confident in, it'd be that Your Mori wasn't simply a succinct EP, I think it was because each song explored different aspects of a very clear subject (Mori). Mori very clearly had something to say with Sinderella, however the theme meant that she had to trail off one to many times to justify the Ten Deadly Sins thing she had going on.
I think her hinting at the Hell theme in the next project is very promising, but at the same time if she generalizes the songs too much to be about Hell in general instead exploring a personal or specific Hell, I believe Mori will likely fall into some of the shortcomings of the last three projects. Going back to old song breakdowns, Bully and End of a Life are about the same thing, with Bully stripping back the personal references and End of a Life going almost all in on them. And while Bully is by no means a bad song, in fact a pretty great one, End of a Life remains a top three, if not still number best from Mori.
tl;dr I like Your Mori
