Review
by Janine Macdonald
I’m
never too sure as to what to expect from Lindsey Lohan, but
it wasn’t hard to guess in listening to her sophomore
album, that this was an attempt for her to break away from
the Disney Mold that had been super imposed on her.
It’s a good attempt to do so, and in the process allows
the singer to also deal with the angst of her father. The
first track, “Confessions Of A Broken Heart” sets
the scene, as she tries to deal orally with the stormy relationship
she has with her father. She picks that up again, in “My
Innocence”, when she states that he took it away.
Moving away from the obvious tracks about her father, and
you actually have a pretty good attempt at breaking that Disney
Mold, and developing a rocker attitude.
While her first album was filled with fluffy, non-substance
songs, this album has more of an edge, and is more heart-felt,
that many may wonder if it is Lohan at all, but rather a pretty
damn good impersonator.
The vocals are earthier, and she shows a huskier style that
suits her, and the rocker chick attitude she seems to have
adopted. None is more evident in the second track “Black
Hole” and her cover of Cheap Trick’s “I
Want You To Want Me”.
Being a huge fan of “I want you to want me”, I
was surprised by how much I enjoyed Lohan’s version.
It’s got a little more edge, but considering the era
the original was sung and the era it has been covered in,
then it’s not surprising.
Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for the Stevie
Nick’s “Edge Of Seventeen”. No one does
Nicks as well as Nicks does, and some should not even bother
to try. Lohan is in that category. The song just ends up sounding
dull, and has none of the magical potency to it that Nicks
brings to it. It’s one I find myself skipping over each
time I hear it.
One important factor to mention is that while the album is
supposed to be raw, it does not appear as so.
The whole album has a slick packaging feel to it, and not
surprising when she has teamed up with the likes of Butch
Walker, Ben Moody, and Kara DioGuardi, in attempt to show
her old and new audience that she wants to be taken more seriously.
Overall,
it’s not a bad album, but I have heard better in the
likes of Ashlee Simpson, and Hilary Duff.
Songs not to miss: “I Want You To Want Me”, “Confessions
Of A Broken Heart”, “Black Hole”.
Songs
to skip past: “Edge Of Seventeen”, “Who
Loves You” (which is just plain irritating, and gets
more so everytime I hear it!)
Rating:
3/5
