Album Review: Gwen Stefani, “Love. Angel. Music. Baby.” (2004)
What do you do when you’re the lead singer of a successful, multi-platinum, Grammy-winning group? Make a solo album, I guess. At least, that’s what Gwen Stefani did.

Album Review: Fall Out Boy, “From Under The Cork Tree” (2005)
Fall Out Boy first caught my attention sometime last summer, though the band (Patrick Stump, Pete Wentz, Joe Trohman, Andy Hurley) had been on the indie scene in Chicago since early 2001. With an album and two EPs under their belt, it was about time…
Album Review: *NSYNC, “*NSYNC” (1998)
I was looking through my CDs today, when my eyes landed on Nsync’s self-titled debut album. I was thrilled when the memories started rushing in; being in junior high school, listening to their songs in my room (adorned with Nsync posters, of course) and practising…
Album Review: Ashlee Simpson, “Autobiography” (2004)
When Ashlee Simpson hopped onto the music scene in early 2004, most people just dismissed her as Jessica Simpson’s little sister. Ashlee, of course hated being in her older sister’s shadow, so with her debut release, Autobiography, she tries as hard as she can to be anti-Jessica….
Album Review: Josh Groban, “Closer” (2003)
I remember the first time I heard a song by Josh Groban. It was To “Where You Are”, a song from his self-titled debut, and I automatically fell in love with his voice. My next encounter with Groban was the PBS special (now turned into a…
Album Review: Plus One, “Exodus” (2003)
When Plus One first arrived on the music scene in 2000, they were labelled the “Christian boy band”. The five members, Jason Perry, Jeremy Mhire, Nate Cole, Gabe Combs, and Nathan Walters had good looks, tight harmonies, and love songs that were good enough to…
Album Review: Kelly Clarkson, “Breakaway” (2004)
When I think of Kelly Clarkson, I think of American Idol. I think of her movie (that I liked, even though it flopped), From Justin To Kelly: The Tale of Two American Idols. I think of her debut album,Thankful, which had the song “A Moment…
Album Review: Michael Jackson, “Number Ones” (2003)
Michael Jackson: Number Ones (2003) – Album Review This is a brittpinkie classic review. I have edited this review for content and formatting while retaining my original opinion of the album, as it reflects my thoughts and feelings when I first wrote it on 02/10/2004. Michael…
Album Review: Mandy Moore, “So Real” (1999)
Sometime last year, I was browsing the bargain bin at Half.com when I came upon Mandy Moore’s debut album, So Real. Even though I wasn’t a fan of Mandy’s music or anything, I thought I’d buy the album since it was only 75 cents. A…
Album Review: Clay Aiken, “Measure Of A Man” (2003)
Season Two of American Idol is probably my favourite season to date (okay, I’ll admit it- I’ve only seen two episodes of Season Three, but I think it sucked!). There were the hilarious and disillusioned rejects at the beginning of the season, the wonderfully talented, and unfairly booted Frenchie,…
