Album Review: Danity Kane, Welcome To The Dollhouse (8.5/10)
I've been a huge fan of Danity Kane, ever since Making the Band 3 1st started. I loved their 1st alubm, so I was hoping i would love this album. And they did not disappoint. I love the new direction of the album. It defintly fits them better as a group.
The Intro: Nice intro, although i would have prefered the girls instead of Diddy.
The Interludes: I'm usually not a big fan of interludes, but Danity Kane seems to have good ones. My favorite is The Secret Place. Very beautifully sung. They all sound great.
The Good: By far for me, BAD GIRL is their best song on the album. Although vocally its not their best, the attitude that they put into the song puts it ahead of the rest. It has a great beat, and all the girls do great. Aubrey sounds HOT, and adding Missy on the track will now doubt help the song if the realse it as a single. STIP TEASE is another hot song from the album. Shannon surprised me the most on this song. She sounds soooo good. Next up would be DAMAGED. Vocally its one of their best songs. Each girl sounds really good, but AUNDREA by far steals this song for me. LIGHTS OUT has a certain attitude that BAD GIRL has, but shows off their vocals better. DAWN did a great job writing it. SUCKA FOR LOVE surprised me. At first I really wasnt feeling this song, but after a will it just grew on me. It's their most dancy/pop song on this album.
The Bad: 2 OF YOU is probably the weakest song for me. It alright, but they have way better songs on the album. The beat is just ok, and the girls really dont do any thing special for me EXcCEPT for AUBREY & SHANNON'S rap. PRETTY BOY is the other song i'm still not feeling. I like the beat of the song, but I just cant get into it. Also Aint Going i'm not really feeling. It seems like more the guys song than the girls.
The Rest: The 2 ballads, POETRY & IS ANYBODY LISTENING, are very good songs. I tend to prefer Poetry more, cuz vocally they really bring their all. IS ANYBODY LISTENING has more of an R&B feel to it, but its still very good. Extasy is a good song as well. Wasnt really feeling it at first either, but the girls did their job. Another song that no one really seems to like is Key To My Heart. Although not my favorite, I will have to say that vocally, this is the song that they ALL sound great on.
Overall, I would recommend this album. It has a lot of good dace tracks & ballads and the girls sound amazing on the album
