Melanie C: Reason Album Review

 A third album review?!?!  I'm on a roll today!  When I started this blog I never thought I'd ever review an album from one of the "Spice Girls" but then again when I first started this blog I wasn't bored out of my mind wanting to hear new music.  Well, not new as in just released I meant new as in me never hearing the songs before.  Anyway, I'll be reviewing "Melanie C's" second album, "Reason".  Melanie C got her start in the music industry being known as "Sporty Spice" in the "Spice Girls".  Here's my track by track review:

1) Here It Comes Again: The first single from the album.  It's pop/rock song that about being there for someone.  I like that it's got a positive feeling to it.  The song peaked at number 7 in the U.K.  10/10

2) Reason: The title track.  The song is about asking your lover to stay with you and being thankful that they've stayed with you through troubled times.  It's also an amazing piano ballad.  10/10

3) Lose Myself in You: The song has a sensual , R&B vibe to it.  I haven't listened to the song that much but after I'm done with this review I'll likely be listening to it.  I think that the song is about how the narrator wants the person they are singing about to talk to them because they feel a connection with them.  8/10

4) On the Horizon: The second single from the album.  It's an upbeat song about how the one you love has made you see life in a positive way.  It's my second favorite song on the album.  The song peaked at number 14 in the U.K. which is surprising because I feel it should've been a top 10 hit.  10/10

5) Positively Somewhere: This song is about being happy to be yourself.  It's a mid-tempo pop/rock song that has a happy, positive vibe to it.  7/10

6) Melt: This song was released along with "Yeh Yeh Yeh" as the fourth and final single from the album.  This song was not supposed to be a single but after Melanie injured her knee on "The Games", her label felt it was easier to promote a ballad more than an upbeat song.  The plan didn't work as the single peaked at number 27 in the U.K. and was her last release with then label "Virgin Records."  It's sad because this is my favorite song on the album and I wish it peaked higher on the charts.  10/10

7) Do I: This song is kinda boring.  I don't really listen to it.  5/10

8) Soul Boy: Another song I skip.  Like "Do I" this song is kinda boring.  5/10

9) Water: When I first heard the song I thought it was boring but after a couple more listens I liked it.  While it doesn't scream "single material" it's a great album track and I like how the lyrics to the chorus change near the near the end of the song.  8/10

10) Home: This song has a dark vibe to it.  I don't listen to the song that much but it's pretty good and I'll try to listen to it more in the future.  7/10

11) Let's Love: This song was the third single from the album but it was only released in Japan and it didn't have a video.  I wish it had a video because the song is a great upbeat pop/rock song.  The production, lyrics, and vocals are awesome.  10/10

12) Yeh Yeh Yeh: This song was released as the fourth and final single with "Melt".  Originally this song was going to be released without "Melt" but after Melanie injured her knee on  "The Games" her label felt it was easier to promote "Melt" because it was a ballad while "Yeh Yeh Yeh" was an upbeat pop/rock song.  The song has a more aggressive feeling to it than any of the other songs on the album.  Sadly the song peaked at number 27 in the U.K.  It's a shame because this song was also amazing.  10/10

 While "Reason" was Melanie C's last album with Virgin Records, it was not the last album she'd release.  She's currently working on her seventh solo album, which is more solo albums than any of the other Spice Girls have released.  My favorite songs on the album are: "Melt", "On the Horizon", "Yeh Yeh Yeh", "Let's Love", "Here It Comes Again", "Reason", and "Water".  Out of 120 points I give the album 100 points which is 83%, a B.  

   Hope you enjoyed my reviews today.  I'll try to post more soon!   Thank you for reading!

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.

Mandy Moore: I Wanna Be With You Album Review

 I meant to do some reviews last July due to surgery and not having anything to do, unfortunately I got lazy (lazier than I usual) and didn't do any reviews.  Anyway, I'm gonna post a few reviews today because I felt the need to do some.  Today I'll be reviewing Mandy Moore's second album, "I Wanna Be with You".  I got this album for my 10th birthday and would listen to it almost everyday as a kid.  Here's my track by track review:

1) I Wanna Be with You: The first, and technically only, single from the album.  The song is Mandy's highest charting single in the U.S. peaking at number 24 making it her first, and to date only, top 40 hit.  Funny how people see "Candy" being her signature song while "I Wanna Be with You" peaked higher on some charts and never gets performed anymore.  Maybe Mandy will perform it when she promotes her new album (whenever it gets released that is).  The song is about crushing on someone.  It was also in the movie "Center Stage".  10/10

2) Everything My Heart Desires: When I first heard this song, I thought it was amazing.  Years later I found out that it was a cover.  The song was originally performed by "Adam Rickitt" and was the second single from his first, and only album, "Good Times".  Mandy's version of the song is much better than his though and I wish Mandy had released this song as a single.  10/10

3) Want You Back: This song is about seeing your ex for the first time since you had broken up and regretting the breakup and you want to get back together with that person.  Like the last two songs, this song is amazing.  10/10

4) The Way to My Heart: Continuing with the "being in love theme", "The Way to My Heart" is about how Mandy doesn't want to lose her boyfriend because he's the one who makes her feel happy.  In a way it picks up where "Want You Back" left off.  10/10

5) So Real (Wade Robinson Remix): This is the remixed version of her third single from "So Real" .  The remix makes the song edgier and more fun to dance to but it's not as great as the previous four songs.  7/10

6) Lock Me in Your Heart: In this song, Mandy sings about a how she wants her boyfriend to "lock her in his heart" and show her how love is supposed to be.  8/10

7) Walk Me Home: The second single from her first album, "So Real" and it was also re-released as the second single from this album.  This was a bad move because the song still didn't make a dent on the charts.  5/10

8) I Like It: Co-written by "Howie Dorough" from the "Backstreet Boys", the song is about liking a guy and how being with him feels so right.  7/10

9) So Real: The third and final single from "So Real".  I already reviewed this song on my review of her album "The Best of Mandy Moore".  5/10

10) Candy (Wade Robinson Remix): The remixed version of her debut single.  Like "So Real", this song sounds edgier than the original and is also fun to dance to.  8/10

11) Your Face: I've ignored this song for several years because it was never as memorable as the rest of the songs on the album.  While it showcases Mandy's amazing vocals, it's a song that I usually skip.  7/10

12) I Wanna Be with You (Soul Solution Remix): Why would they remix this song?  While it's an okay to dance to, the song didn't need to be remixed as it's perfect the way it is.  The remix wasn't really needed.  6/10

 While some critics saw the album as more as a remix album with a few new songs, the album was more successful on the charts than "So Real".  My favorite songs on the album are: "I Wanna Be with You", "Everything My Heart Desires", "The Way to My Heart", "Want You Back", and "Candy (Wade Robinson Remix)".  Out of 120 points I give the album 93 points which is 77%, a C+.  Mandy's taken a break from music but will hopefully release some new music in 2016.

Hilary Duff: Breathe In. Breathe Out. (Standard, Deluxe, and Fanjoy Edition) Album Review

 I meant to do this review days ago but I lost track of time.  Anyway, today I'll be reviewing Hilary Duff's new album, "Breathe In. Breathe Out.".  Hilary had taken a long break from recording music before the album was released.  In fact the album is Hilary's first album since her last album, "Dignity" was released 8 years (if count "Best of Hilary Duff" than it's been 7 years).  Either way it's a relief to finally hear new music from her.  For this review I'll be reviewing the standard, the deluxe, and the fanjoy editions of the album and I'll be giving each edition a different score so without further adieu, here's my track by track review:

1) Sparks: This song was initially the third single from the album but when the first two singles weren't included on the standard edition, it became the first single from the album.  The song is very catchy, is fun to dance to, and will hopefully become a hit on radio.  I didn't really like the video, not because it showed her on her Tinder dates, but because her hair color made her look strange.  The song overall is great and a perfect way to start the album off.  10/10

2) My Kind: When I first heard this song, I thought it sounded a little bit like "Taylor Swift's" song, "Style".  The song is very catchy and another really great song.  10/10

3) One In a Million: This song sounds like something "Tove Lo" would release, which funny because she co-wrote this song.  The song is a mid-tempo ballad and it instantly became one of my favorites on the album.  10/10

4) Confetti: The first few seconds of the song sounded very similar to "Girls Aloud's" single, "Untouchable".  That being said, this song is an amazing pop/party song that should be released as the second single.  I love the "Heaven is a Place on Earth" sample, it just makes a song perfect.  10/10

5) Breathe In. Breathe Out.: From a happy upbeat song to a dark mid-tempo ballad.  The song is the title track and it talks about how a relationship that has recently ended and even though you feel sad, you know you'll be okay.  I hope this song will become a single.  10/10

6) Lies: Continuing with a dark vibe, "Lies" is about how Hilary is fed up with her partner's constant b.s. and lies.  It's my favorite song on the album and also one of the songs that Hilary co-wrote, which many explain why you can feel the anger in her voice a little bit on this song.  It is still a brilliant song with a catchy hook.  It needs to be a single too.  10/10

7) Arms Around a Memory: A sad dance-ballad that was written by "Matthew Koma", who also co-wrote the title track and "Confetti" for this album.  The song is about reminiscing about an ex that you still miss.  I love the song but I wish it was a little longer. 10/10

8) Stay in Love: Like "One In a Million" and "Sparks", this song was co-written by "To-Love".  The song is an upbeat pop song where Hilary is questioning how people stay in love with someone when it feels so hard with all the work it comes with.  Again another terrific song.  10/10

9) Brave Heart: After 8 pop/dance songs, the album switches to a folk-pop sound that Hilary initially started with (I'll get to that part later).  The song is about how being out of a relationship and although you're a little scared of being alone, you'll be okay because you're strong.  The song took a couple of listens before I started to like it.  9/10

10) Tattoo: When Hilary was working on a folk-pop album, this song was one of the songs that was almost the first single from the album.  While the folk-pop was somewhat scrapped, this song was put on this album.  The song was co-written by "Ed Sheeran" who provides background vocals on this song.  Like "Brave Heart", this song took a couple of listens before I started to like it.  9/10

11) Picture This: Before the album was released, I noticed on most of the forums that people felt this song was the weakest song on the album.  I didn't want to believe that and when I first heard the whole album I was sad that I have to agree.  The lyrics are great but the overall song is weak compared to the other songs on the album.  It has grown on me a little bit though.  6/10

12) Night Like This (featuring Kendall Schmidt): This is the last song on the standard edition of the album.  The song features "Kendall Schmidt" from "Big Time Rush" and "Heffron Drive".  I don't listen to either band so I had no idea what to expect with this song.  Thankfully the song is amazing.  Kendall and Hilary's vocals work perfectly on this amazing song.  10/10

 These next two tracks are on the deluxe version of the album:

13) Belong: This song has a folk-pop sound to it like the last 4 songs on the standard edition of the album.  To me, song kinda feels like combination "fun.'s" "Some Nights" and "Taylor Swift's" "New Romantics".  It's a pretty good song.  9/10

14) Rebel Hearts: I was really excited about this song because it was co-written by "Kara DioGuardi", who co-wrote a majority of Hilary's last album "Dignity" with Hilary.  The song blends both folk-pop with dance-pop and sounds very similar to Avicii's "Wake Me Up".  Still an amazing song that should've been on the standard edition.  10/10

 These next four tracks are available if you bought the fanjoy edition of the album:

1) Chasing the Sun: This song was initially the first single from the album but it didn't make the standard edition of the album.  I was kinda glad it didn't make the standard edition because I feel it's a boring song.  "Colbie Calliat" co-wrote this song and I think that the song would've sounded better if Colbie sang instead of Hilary.  I'm not saying Hilary's voice is bad because she has a great voice, I just feel this song is suited more for Colbie than Hilary.  4/10

2) All About You: The song was initially the second single from the album but like "Chasing the Sun", it didn't make the standard edition of the album.  Thankfully it was available on the fanjoy version of the album (as well as iTunes).  I love this and I feel it's way better than "Chasing the Sun".  The video was pretty good.  10/10

3) Outlaw: A snippet of this song was played on Hilary's show "Younger".  Sadly when Hilary revealed the name of the song on "twitter" she said that it wouldn't be on the album.  Thankfully she put it on the fanjoy version of the album.  It has a folk-pop sound to it, which makes me wonder why Hilary didn't just put out a folk-pop album first and then release a pop album afterward.  It was surprising to hear her swear on the first verse but the song is still amazing.  9/10


4) Chasing the Sun (Dave Aude Remix): Sadly the remixed version of this song doesn't do anything for me.  4/10

 It's good that Hilary finally released a new album, however before the album was released there were over 20 tracks that were recorded for the album.  This is because Hilary had originally recorded a folk-pop album that was set to be released in October 2014, but that didn't happen.  And even though there are overall 17 songs on this album, there are still 21 (or 20) songs that didn't make the album.  These are the known titles of the songs:

"17", "Better Days", "Hurts", "Northern Star", "Feel Alive", "If I Fall", "This Heart", "Falling", "Whistling Dixie", "Carry On", "Where the Gods Play", "Take It for What It Is", "Before the Light Changes", "It All Starts Tonight", "Tearing Down Walls", "Snow Globe", "Wild Night Out", "Wherever You Go", "When We Were Young", "Breathing Room", and "Rebel Heart" (which was likely re-titled as "Rebel Hearts" for the album but I felt it needed to be mentioned anyway.  I'm hoping Hilary will release another album with these songs on it because I've been wanting to hear "Northern Star" since she posted a picture of the lyrics on her instagram.

 Overall Hilary Duff's "Breathe In. Breathe Out." was worth the 8 year wait.  I hope she doesn't wait 8 years to release another album.  My favorite songs on the album are: "Lies", "Breathe In. Breathe Out.", "All About You", "Confetti", Stay In Love", "One In a Million", "My Kind", "Rebel Hearts", "Arms Around a Memory", "Night Like This (featuring Kendall Schmidt)", "Belong", and "Sparks".  So basically I love the whole album.  For the standard edition, out of 120 points I give the album 114 points which is 95% making it an A+.  For the deluxe edition's score, out of 140 points I give the album 133 points which funny enough ends up being a 95% as well, another A+.  For the fanjoy edition of the album, out of 160 points I give the album 141 points which i 88%, a B+.  This is an amazing album and if you haven't got the album yet, then go out and buy it because it's one of the best albums that has been released this year!

Miley Cyrus: Can't Be Tamed Album Review

 Today is the last day of March!  That means I've done a review everyday for this month (whether they were good or not is another story...)  After today I will take another break from doing reviews but it won't be a long one!  Anyway, today I'll be reviewing Miley Cyrus' third album, "Can't Be Tamed".  The album was released back in 2010 and is my favorite album of hers.  To make a long intro short (or shorter than I had intended it to be) here's track by track review:

1) Liberty Walk: This is an empowering song about not letting anyone hurt you or say you can't do this or that.  I was surprised that Miley rapped the first verse but the song is amazing.  While the song wasn't a single, the song was remixed and had a video.  10/10

2) Who Owns My Heart: The second and sadly last single from the album everywhere except Australia.  Almost 5 years have passed and I still don't know what the song's about, but that doesn't stop me from dancing to it.  That being said, it should not have been released as a single.  8/10

3) Can't Be Tamed: The title track and first single from the album.  The song is about breaking free and being able to express yourself.  The chipmunk part in the second verse is funny but the video was strange.  This is the only song from this album that Miley sang on her "Bangerz" tour.  It peaked at number 8 in the U.S.  9/10

4) Every Rose Has Its Thorn: This was song the third single from the album in Australia.  Why it didn't get a video or get released in the U.S. is a mystery.  It is a cover song originally performed by the band, "Poison".  "Brett Michaels", the lead singer of that band, sang backup vocals on Miley's version.  She did a good rendition of the song.  10/10

5) Two More Lonely People: This song is about a relationship that has ended mutually.  It's has a little bit of a pop rock feel to it.  I love the third verse.  10/10

6) Forgiveness and Love: This song was performed at the "American Music Awards" back in 2010.  It was rumored to be the third single from the album, but it instead became a promo single released only in Germany.  While it's a good ballad, I usually skip it.  8/10

7) Permanent December: Despite the fact that the song uses a lot of auto-tune, the song is still amazing and is my favorite song on the album.  The song is about how a girl has been around the world and despite meeting guys (not sexually just friendly) none of them come close to her boyfriend back home so she decides to leave to be with him.  Wish this song had a video!  10/10

8) Stay: Despite not being a single, the song peaked at number 75 in the U.S.  The song is a ballad about a relationship that has ended but one person misses the other person and if that person wanted them back, the first would rush to be by their side.  8/10

9) Scars: This song is about running into an ex and pretending you're fine but you still have feelings for them.  A lot of people can relate to that.  Great song.  10/10

10) Take Me Along: The song should be titled "Take Me With You" because that lyric is in the song, not "Take Me Along".  Anyway the song is ballad about a relationship that's ended (there seems to be a pattern on this album) and telling the ex that they never find someone that's loved them as much as you loved them while questioning if they ever loved you at all.  10/10

11) Robot: This song is about not wanting to be controlled.  Maybe Miley wrote it about how she was sick of being told to be "perfect" because she was on "Hannah Montana".  Either way, the song is awesome and should've been a single.  10/10

12) My Heart Beats for Love: Finally a happier song.  The song is about being love with someone but no one approves of that relationship but you both stay together because it's a love worth fighting for.  Should've been a single.  10/10

 Since this album release, Miley's released her fourth album, "Bangerz" and as of 2014 she is working on her fifth album.  I love all the songs on the album.  Out of 120 points I give the album 112 which 93%, an A.  I hope you enjoyed this one and all the reviews I did this month.  Thank you reading this review!

The Veronicas: Hook Me Up Album Review

 Today I will be reviewing "The Veronicas'" second album, "Hook Me Up".  "Hook Me Up" was released 2 years after the twin's first album "The Secret Life of..." and was more of a pop/ dance-pop album whereas their first album was pop/rock.  Here's my track by track review:

1) Untouched: The second single from the album.  When I heard this song, I was excited about the album because it sounded cool.  The song is their most successful song in the U.S. peaking at number 17 on the charts.  The song and video have a dark vibe but both are awesome.  10/10

2) Hook Me Up: The first single from the album.  The song is about being tired of how your life is and want to get away from it for a little bit.  Lyrically it's great but the music is kinda boring.  The song became their first number 1 in Australia.  7/10

3) This Is How It Feels: The music overpowers the girl's vocals on this one.  The song is about how a guy is trying to get back with his ex but she doesn't want him back because he was the one who broke her heart and ended the relationship.  7/10

4) This Love: The third single from the album.  This song was co-written by "Ke$ha".  The song is about being in love with someone and not wanting to end the relationship because this person is the one.  It's a pretty good song.  9/10

5) I Can't Stay Away: Apparently this song was a promo single that was released around the same time as the album's fourth single, "Take Me on the Floor".  It is one of two songs that the twins didn't write on, the other being "This Love".  The song is about not being able to stay away from a person despite the fact that they're bad for you.  The song has a dark vibe and it's one of my favorites on the album.  Wish it had a video.  10/10

6) Take Me on the Floor: The fourth single on the album.  When the girls stated in an interview that when they wrote the song, they were thinking about having fun.  The video caused a little bit of controversy, so when the song was released in the U.S. a video of the girls performing the song on tour.  It's a pretty good song.  10/10

7) I Don't Wanna Wait: The song starts out with a weird intro and then it goes "I Don't Wanna Wait" five times.  The song is about not wanting to wait for a guy to make a move.  I don't really listen to this one much.  6/10

8) Popular: The fifth and final single from the album.  On this song the verses are rapped.  The song is about someone who feels their better than everyone.  The girls wrote song the song as a joke to the celebrity life.  It's fun to dance to.  I only wish the song had a video.  10/10

9) Revenge Is Sweeter (Than You Ever Were): From a fun song to a serious one.  The song is about how a relationship ended because the person you were with cheated on you and broke your heart.  This song should've been a single instead of "Hook Me Up".  It's one of my favorites.  10/10

10) Someone Wake Me Up: The song is a ballad about a breakup that doesn't feel real.  It also doesn't help that both people have the same friends so when they see each other it kills the narrator of the song.  It's a great song that, like many songs on this album, should've had a video.  10/10

11) All I Have: In this song the narrator makes the mistake of cheating on her boyfriend and though the boyfriend forgives and stays with them, the narrator still feels guilty for being unfaithful and wishes that it never happened.  The verses are amazing but the chorus isn't as good.  8/10

12) In Another Life: This is a ballad about how two people had promised each other they'd marry when they get older, but as time went on you changed and can't fulfill that promise and maybe they'll be together in another life.  The girls cried while recording this amazing song.  8/10

 "Hook Me Up" is pretty good album and it's strange to think that the album was released almost 8 years ago.  My favorite songs are: "Untouched", "Revenge Is Sweeter (Than You Ever Were)", "I Can't Stay Away", "Popular", "Someone Wake Me Up", and "Take Me on the Floor".  Out of 120 points I give the album 105 points which is 87%, a B+.  Thank you for reading this review!

The Veronicas: The Veronicas Album Review

 One of my favorite bands is the amazing, Australian duo, "The Veronicas".  The band is twin sisters "Jessica Origliasso and Lisa Origliasso".  Their first single "4ever" was released almost 10 years ago, and since then the girls have continued to be success.  Their third album, the self-titled, "The Veronicas", was released in late 2014 (last month if you live in the U.S. and about 2 weeks ago if you live in the UK).  The album took the girls awhile to released.  It was initially recorded as "Life on Mars" and they had started working on it back in 2010.  However 3 years went by and only one single was released called "Lolita".  Despite the song's success an album wasn't released and the girls left their then label, "Sire Records".  Thankfully they signed to "Sony Music Entertainment" in 2014 and released "The Veronicas".  Here's my track by track review:

1) Sanctified: This song has a dark southern rock kinda vibe to it.  The song received a remix that's pretty cool but that remix made the song less than a minute and a half.  The overall song is amazing and I wouldn't be surprised if it was released as the fourth single in the future.  10/10

2) Did You Miss Me (I'm a Veronica): In this song the girls rap like they did on "Popular" from their last album, "Hook Me Up".  In this song the girls have made it clear that they're back and they're here to stay.  Part of the song was used in their two episode webseries also titled "Did You Miss Me".  Well a lot of people did miss them and we're glad they're back.  10/10

3) Cruel: The third single from the album.  This is my favorite song on the whole album.  I was so excited when it was released as a single and had a video.  The song is about being out of a relationship with someone and even though you don't want them back, you hate seeing them with someone else.  In the video the girls trap a guy in their car, but he escapes to a hotel only to be captured by the girls again.  They tie his hands up but he's able to get the rope off while they're driving.  At the end of the video it seems the guy has won as he drives off feeling victorious, that is until one of the girls presses a button that causes the car to explode.  10/10

4) Line of Fire: When this song was released to the public, there were rumors that this song was the second single.  The rumors were later false as "If You Love Someone" was the second single instead.  The verses start off a little soft and low before the chorus comes in loud!  Another great song, hopefully it'll be a single.  10/10

5) Teenage Millionaire: This was one of the songs the girls wrote after they left their old label.  It has an awesome guitar intro in the beginning and the chorus is also amazing.  It's about how someone makes you feel happy.  10/10

6) Born Bob Dylan: Continuing with amazing songs is this amazing ballad.  It was originally on the album they recorded with their previous label before that album was scrapped.  It's about wishing you had the confidence to speak your mind and not be afraid of how people would feel about what you say.  It's an amazing song musically and lyrically.  10/10

7) Always: Like the last song, this is also a ballad.  It was co-written by singer/songwriter "Emeli Sande".  It's an okay song but I think I'd would've been better if it was performed by Emeli instead.  6/10

8) Mad Love: One of the more pop sounding songs on the album, this song is about how you love someone so much but they drive you insane.  Anyone relate to that?  I would love to see a video for this song and it's strange to think they been singing the song live for over a year before the album was released and that the song is just as amazing now as it was then.  10/10

9) You Ruin Me: The first single from the album.  The song is a piano ballad about a relationship that has ended.  The vocals and music are flawless.  The video was also amazing, especially when they put they tied up the guy in the trunk of their car...  Now that I think about it, made this song's video was the prequel to "Cruel's" video.  Plus "Cruel" was heard in the beginning of the video.  The song hit number 1 in Australia.  10/10

10) More Like Me: This song is about an ex's new girlfriend who is jealous of you because she's not as great as you were.  Funny thing is you don't care but the current girlfriend does.  The lyric "If you were more like me, you'd have f***ed a little harder" because it shocked me at first but it's one of my favorite parts of the song.  Props for going there (I don't mean for that to sound dirty!)  10/10

11) If You Love Someone: The second single from the album.  It's a very upbeat song about how the narrator encourages the listen, if they love someone, that they have to do something about it.  I really like the song and it was a hit in Australia where it peaked at number 5.  10/10

12) Cold: This song is about a relationship that is done.  You can feel the raw anger and emotions in this song.  I'd hate to be the jerk that inspired this song.  9/10

13) Let Me Out: This song is mainly played on acoustic guitar.  It's about not knowing where you stand in the relationship and the worst part is the other person doesn't really care.  It's a sad song.  8/10

14) You and Me: This song is more happy sounding song than the previous songs.  This seems to be about the twins relationship with each other and how no matter what happens they'll always have each other's backs.  Perfect way to end the album.  9/10

 The Veronica's third album is, in my opinion their best album so.  They're planning on releasing a deluxe version of the album with 7 new tracks.  I can't wait for that!  I love all the songs on the album.  Out of 140 points I give the album 132 points which 94%, an A.  Thank you for reading this review!
