Ah, I gotcha.

Pretty solid review actually. You were quite fair and focused.

Katy Perry co-wrote "Long Shot" and "I Do Not Hook Up" and Matt Theissen of Relient K co-wrote "Long Shot"

This is true. I have no idea why the record had 14 tracks, that's the worst part about it. I can't even stand to listen to "I want you", and I could live without "if i can't have you", although it has been getting more and more fun to listen to. Trimmed down to 11-12 tracks, this record is great.

not great, but it would be much improved.

blake is hands down the worst reviewer on absolutepunk.net....please god, don't ever become an A&R rep because you would fail miserably

i miss her "breakaway" days... even if she was partly-disney than, even the non-singles were amazing tracks (ie You Found Me)
Clarkson cant compare to Lady gaga OR ADTR... Lady GaGa doesnt have too much staying power IMO, though just Dance is indeed a guity pleasure of mine...
as for ADTR... theyve been writing their type of music for a long time before it was popular... my friend knew them before they were even signed... and if you hear the last two albums, they are indeed branching out into both lighter and heavier strands of music...

Haha. I read that the first time and was like lolwut? Then I read it in a british accent and was like awesomeeee. haha.

your recommending pink with this crap? pink has had album successes every single time out. this is kelly's biggest disappointment ever! my december was her and was fantastic might i add. she sold herself to the devil to make a piece of pop trash that i hope doesn't sell a single unit.

Breakaway was definitely her overall best CD. I haven't given this a fair listen yet, though, so we'll see how close this is.

As for ADTR... They might be one of the early "innovators" of pop punk/hardcore scene (I don't know, so I'll just give this to you), but Homesick is definitely a typical scene album. I'm sorry, but it is. I mentally group them with bands like TDWP: They're not horrific, but they aren't interesting, and they just make me want to listen to some other band.

My December was so boring.

Agreed.

i didn't think so.

I Do Not Hook Up is so good.

I wonder what it's like to try and do your own thing and fall flat on your face. I feel sorry for her, now she must reverb back to being a manufactured pop star

The first time I heard that "My life would suck without you" song I literally laughed so hard I cried. "Suck" is such an ugly and just wrong word to put in a pop song--let alone the chorus.
