    I actually love this album. I still remember the day I bought it. Wish she went back in this path. She does have talent.

    Pop music is something I normally avoid like the plague. Mindless lyrics and annoyingly repetitive music usually saturates the mediocre writing, at best. Once in a while, however, a pop act comes around that can catch my attention. Ashlee Simpson’s ‘Autobiography’ album has done just that.
    
    Unlike most pop stars, Ashlee is credited as writer on every track of her debut album. Her vocals are incredible on the disc as she works her way through the title track, the radio hit "Pieces of Me", the frustrated "Shadow" (penned about her sister Jessica), the jumpy "La-La" and the upbeat and positive "Love Makes the World Go ‘Round". The true gem of the set is the final track "Undiscovered", which has a decidedly U2 vibe to it. This track is worth the price of the disc alone. The music is surprisingly fresh and original and the backing band is quite impressive.
    
    Not every song on the disc is incredible, but each track has it’s own positive points, and the low points are few and ...

    Minus the whole SNL thing... I actually liked this album. I didn't think it was the worst thing to come out of the Simpson family (That would be Jessica).

Description

UK pressing of the teen-popstar's #1 debut album includes two bonus tracks, 'Harder Everyday' (international (not U.S.) bonus track) & 'Sorry' (UK bonus track). Geffen,You hear a lot of echoes throughout Ashlee Simpson's Autobiography, but her big-eyed, bright-smiled sister Jessica isn't behind a one of them. That'll come as no surprise to fans and anyone who has caught the "darker" Simpson sister on MTV, which is responsible for hurtling the hard-edged "Pieces of Me" onto radio playlists across the country and creating a mini frenzy over this CD's content. Stoking the gossip-fueled flames is track three, "Shadow." On it, 19-year-old Ashlee spills her childhood resentment over her sister's attention-gulping career, ending up on a conciliatory note that has the surprising effect of making the Simpson divas' drama seem believable ("Everything's cool now…and the past is in the past," she sings). But serious music fans ought not to dilly-dally with the celeb stuff and dive right in, because this disc dishes up more than a lot of us bargained for. "LaLa" revs up the unsuspecting by way of out-and-out lustiness, "Love for Me" lays on the lovelorn angst thick, and the title track is a take-no-prisoners, love-me-or-leave-me rock anthem. Rippling throughout are cunningly malleable vocals, bending here for a kittenish Gwen Stefani effect, stretching there to sound Christina Aguilera-cathartic. Sweeter moments call to mind the indie sensibilities of Jill Sobule. More than others of her reality-show insta-star ilk, Ashlee Simpson's is an autobiography that shouts, "bring on the sequel." --Tammy La Gorce
