Okay, this album has been re-released TWICE now!! Come on, Columbia! How greedy can you get?! With this, all you're really getting is the same exact thing from the first re-release plus music videos for Angels and Take My Breath Away! I'm getting sick and tired of record companies repackaging new products and adding extra "features" to suck money out of people's wallets! I've already repurchased this album once and I'm not doing it again! If I want to see the music videos, I can go to Launch or Jessica's website!
I was given this as a gift on Christmas day. I put it in my car and I have to say that I love this album. It has some really nice tracks on it. I would recommend this one to all Jessica Simpson fans. 5 stars from me. I loved this album.
..before until I heard some songs from it and the hit reality show: Newlyweds. This album became a success because of Newlyweds though.. somehow I was surprised after I listened to some songs from the internet, of what this album offers.
This is her best album to date,, I prefer this instead of A Public Affair but A Public Affair contains mostly fun and upbeat song, while this has many simply peferct ballads that everyone can enjoy and love it and a really great beat song like "With You".. Guys, you wont get dissapointed after you buy this album, and for Jessica haters who think this album is a crap, after you listen, your bothering mind that says this album is a crap will shut up. So.. check this album, her voice is so stunning especially in "Angles". A Must Have Pop Album!!
YOU CAN HATE JESSICA, BUT SORRY. YOU CAN'T HATE THIS ALBUM.
Does J. Simpson's record company have any integrity left? We all know the answer to that one. How many times can they repackage this same garbage? Talk about beating a dead horse! If J. Simpson didn't represent the classic sex object (for men to objectify and girls to idolize) then this disaster would not have been made even once, let alone make it to a third incarnation. All of you who bought this album ask yourself this question: Would I still listen to this music if the singer did not represent an attractive image? It seems many people conflate the image of the artist with the perception of the art itself. The music should be able to stand on its own regardless of the nature of the artist. Would the Mona Lisa be a better painting if Da Vinci was as attractive as J. Simpson?
It is a real shame that the record company wastes its resources rehashing all this substanceless garbage instead of finding and promoting real artists. I suppose the record company is not entirely to blame. They are only in it to make a buck. The real problem is the people buying this fluff. They are responsible for the tragedy that there is so much great music out there that we will never hear.
Jessica Simpson hit the pop market with the admirable debut her 1999 Sweet Kisses turned out to be, but hit the backburner to top teen queens Britney Spears (1998) and Christina Aguilera (1999) despite her impressive vocal malismas. In 2001 her sophomore effort turned out to be marketed as a second Britney, and although a full-listen pop/R&B piece, Irresistible's lack of originality kept Simpson a B-lister to the likes of Spears and Aguilera. In 2003, her current CD (In This Skin) hit the shelves backed by the decent pop ballad "Sweetest Sin," but due to lack of sales and popularity it appeared Jessica's 15 minutes of fame were up; but due to a hugely popular MTV reality show called "Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica," the now-Mrs. Lachey hit No. 2 and Columbia Records put out a reissued version of In This Skin featuring two new covered tunes. Jessica Simpson has been on the public's radar ever since but for the wrong reasons: a true musician? Possibly, but not now. This diva-in-training has become another cash cow for the industry due to statements such as "Is this chicken or fish?" (Chicken of the Sea-brand tuna, courtesy of her first season of "Newlyweds"); and though In This Skin features some nice but not-top-40-material material, Jessica's third release is just an ok piece of fluff. I think the cd derserves an overall higher rating so I am not taking marks off although I believe it doesn't deserve 5 stars.
