This is one of those love-it-or-hate-it albums. And if you love it, I’m sorry. You’re wrong. Forget my feelings about the subjective nature of taste; if you like this crap, you and I have a problem. Let’s look at a list of the ways this album fails to be redeeming:

1. Every song sounds the same. Exactly the same.
2. Every song is seriously overproduced. I like pop music, sure, but this is ridiculous.
3. You’ve heard all these songs before. Take equal parts Michelle Branch and Sheryl Crow and blend until everything worthwhile is unrecognizable, then water it down until you can’t even remember what the ingredients were.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Nina Gordon, what is wrong with you? I’ll give you half a beet because Veruca Salt was badass, and because these are… wait, no. No beets for you!

If you’re even remotely tempted to listen to this album, sit down for a minute and think about how expensive music is these days. Buying this album would be like driving cross country to eat at McDonalds: potentially tasty, but in no way worth the money you have to put in your tank. In fact, don’t even steal this album, because the low risk of getting caught outweighs any benefits you might imagine could come from acquiring this waste of 47 and a half minutes.
