 Lindsay Lohan A Little More Personal (Raw)
| |
As the title suggests, Lindsay Lohan makes a fatal mistake on her second album: She tries to, like, express herself. The album de-emphasizes the (very) guilty pop pleasures of her 2004 debut in favor of leaden I-hate-you-Daddy laments such as "Confessions of a Broken Heart" and "My Innocence." Lohan has a much bigger -- though less distinctive -- voice than her sometime-pal Ashlee Simpson, but she sounds like a high school talent-show winner on the album's two classic-rock covers: a sprightly take on "I Want You to Want Me" and a karaoke-faithful version of "Edge of Seventeen."
Lovesick teenagers need to check out this 2005 album from Lohan, aptly foreshadowed with her single, "Confessions Read More of a Broken Heart." Highlighted by the Alanis-like thumper "Black Hole" and the decidedly "raw" "My Innocence," it seems Lindsay hates your ex as much as you do. The whole album is strong as a matter of fact, with touches of New Wave popping up here and there.
