Mandy Moore: So Real Album Review

 Two album reviews in one day?  Yes I know it's shocking.  This one is for Mandy Moore's first album, "So Real".  Some of the songs were on the previous album review of "I Wanna Be with You", so this album is kinda half-a**ed.  Sorry!  Here's my track by track review:

1) So Real: The third and final single from the album, as well as the title track.  I've already reviewed this song on my review of "The Best of Mandy Moore".  There is also a french version of the song called "C'est Si Facile" that is apparently very rare.  5/10

2) Candy: The first single from the album as well as her debut single.  This is the only song that Mandy still performs to this day, however instead of its original bubblegum pop sound, Mandy performs it with a folk/blues vibe.  7/10

3) What You Want: Apparently this was the first song that was recorded for the album.  This song is weird.  It's about being the kinda girl that guy she's crushing on wants and how she'll be what he wants as long as he loves her.  I don't know if it's the production, the lyrics, Mandy's voice or the fact that she was 14 when she sang this but the song is just weird.  6/10

4) Walk Me Home: The second single from the album.  It's an okay ballad but compared to the rest of the ballads she's released since this song, it's just not up to par.  5/10

5) Lock Me in Your Heart: I already reviewed this song on my last review.  8/10

6) Telephone (Interlude): It's a 15 second interlude, so I won't be giving it a score.

7) Quit Breaking My Heart: This song is about how Mandy wants her boyfriend to stop breaking her heart because it's ruining their relationship.  No offense but if your boyfriend keeps letting you down then dump him because he's not worth it.  But that's just my opinion, the overall song is okay.  6/10

8) Let Me Be the One: This song was originally recorded by the band "Five Star".  The song is about wanting to be the only one your boyfriend thinks about.  It's okay.  5/10

9) Not Too Young: This song is the most aggressive song on the album.  When I was younger it was one of my favorites, but over the years it's become weird to listen to.  The song is about seeing through a guy's advances despite him thinking you're easy because you're younger.  The chorus is pretty good.  7/10

10) Love Shot: This song is a guilty pleasure of mine.  It's about asking a guy if he can handle you and your love.  It's more in a cutesy puppy love kinda way instead of a "come and take me now" kinda way.  8/10

11) I Like It: I already reviewed this song in the last review.  7/10

12) Love You for Always: A mid-tempo song about a guy who made everything in your life better and how you want to stay with him forever.  7/10

13) Quit Breaking My Heart (Reprise): A short acoustic version of track number 7.  While it's pretty good, it's short meaning I won't give it a score.

 Mandy herself has admitted that the songs on this album weren't that good, so I don't feel as bad about the score I'm giving the album.  I don't really have any favorite songs on this album.  Out of 110 points I give the album 71 points which is 64%, a D.  This is the second time I've given an album a D.  The first was Taylor Swift's "Red" which got 65%, meaning that the score for "So Real" is lowest score I've given.
