Free Music Notes for Welcome To The Dollhouse
Free Music Review: One of the Best of '08!
Hit: 5 Stars
I didn't buy Danity Kane's first album, I wasn't really interested in them that much, even though I loved "Showstopper." I've been watching MTB4, and I have become to actually 'really' like Danity Kane. I got this for my Birthday, and it was exactly what I wanted. I love how this album is so international, and it's a great dance album.

Free Music Review: This Is Not R&B!
Hit: 4 Stars
So, if that is what you are expecting from DK's second cd, then don't bother picking this one up. If you're a music lover of all types of music then stop and listen. This cd is pop and has only a pinch of r&b in it. It is a different change from their first cd, but it's still good. Free Music Review: P Diddy's all girl Monkees
Hit: 1 Stars
Talk about bad female role models! Toss in a few groans, well-homogenized tunes about the joy of your touch and lots of "girls just want it bad" lyrics, mixed with some synth and a few Mariah Carrey vocal acrobatics and you'll be parting with $9.99 as you load this into your hopped-up street junkmobile with vibrating and blown out speakers. I can assume that this will be played out of crappy cars all summer long and stacked somewhere with your illegally duplicated Pussycat Dolls CD from 2006.
This isn't landmark music, particularly after 30 of the first 45 seconds of idiotic intro complete with Sean Combs' asinine yackin' to re-establish his street creds (sorry, it doesn't work). ditto for a track with rapper Rick Ross: what stinkburgers. Over-produced and slightly too slick, it turns grating after ten tracks and you'd wished you learn to read more objective music reviews from, say, a reputable publication that doesn't let reviewers get payoffs and get comped to industry parties and record company swag.
But an enjoyable CD overall loaded with fabricated sex appeal and strip-joint lapdance tunes. If my daughter brought it home, it'd be out the window followed by a good family intervention.
Free Music Review: Generic 101 : Meaningless to a Max
Hit: 2 Stars
Danity Kane is the kind of band that is so good-looking, so sleek, that you can't help but gaze upon them in adolescent wonder (even if you're way past your own adolescence). I think that is exactly the reason why this album debuted at No.1 despite being quite an ordinary R&B/hip-hop album. In fact, I would use the term `hip-hop' here quite loosely, as they break absolutely no new ground here, and lend the word `generic' a whole new meaning.
Glancing at the generous five star reviews here, I can only imagine that P Diddy realized way before most of us that the majority of the record-buying public simply have no taste or a ear for a good tune. Both his points are proven here. When Danity Kane hit a good tune, they are able to ride the groove as well as the best of them (which in their case is somewhat between Cassie and Ashanti), but give them a sloppy ballad and they can outdo even Raven Symone in terms of sheer hideousness. Also, their penchant for sounding hip and in with the latest fashion trends on their songs do them no service. Its ironic that even the new Heidi Montag single sounds infinitely more inspired than more of the clichés that litter this tired album.
Still, you have to hand it to the producers to come up with at least a few arresting tracks. Lead single "Damaged" is like "Showstopper" Part 2, which is both a good and bad thing. "Bad Girl" featuring Missy is a predictable romp through the hay, while "Keys to my Heart" could well have been something rejected from Janet Jackson's "20 YO" album. That is not a compliment. Throughout the record, we have innumerable interludes that have really no meaning or bearing upon any of the sordid proceedings, and judging from the lyrics on almost every track, Danity Kane don't lead very interesting lives, and their love lives are nothing to write home about either.
The running themes on the album range from being dumped, to getting on the dancefloor and "doing my thing". In between, DK sing about finding new love, rejecting new love, dealing with love for someone else while in a relationship, negotiating with love, and the inability to let love into ones' heart. None of this is as interesting as it sounds. Actually, these girls will definitely not have a career in about a year if this is the sort of boring trash they insist on pumping out every year. Even the last Janet record sounded way more inspired than this.
While it is not realistic to expect genius music or craftsmanship from a band that was generically thrown together by "Making the Band", it would have been nice to at least have a couple of good tunes to put on my Ipod. Sadly, none of that was to be found here, despite some really excellent production. Two Stars for this unfortunate mess of an album.
