What parents need to know
Parents need to know that while there is nothing objectionable on this CD. In fact, the music video that is all over the Disney channel is a bit more suggestive than the content of the CD.
What's the story?
Hilary Duff's latest tribute to self-absorption (aka a "greatest hits" album with a couple of new tracks thrown in) offers one bad song after another, performed with so much electronic ambiance slapped on the vocals that it's impossible to hear what the Disney megastar's real voice sounds like. The cliché-laden lyrics seem innocuous at first, but the message is, in some ways, as scary as the most explicit gangsta rap, because MOST WANTED is nothing more than a celebration of Hilary herself.
Is it any good?
Repetitive lyrics alternate between lovesick and preachy. Vocals are processed within an inch of their thin whiny life and mixed way above lackluster instrumental tracks. The songs are downright awful; most are remixes of past hits. The "me-me" message becomes quite irritating. The one bright spot -- a cover of the Go-Gos' "Our Lips Are Sealed" seems perfectly suited to Duff's vocal stylings. The rest of the songs, boring as they are, stretch her limited range to the max.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about whether or not their kids find Hilary Duff's music revealing or self-absorbed.

AGE
THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT HER WORST ALBUM YET
Okay Hilary, I watched you when you were that itty-bity kid in Casper and Wendy, but the promblem is the same promblem that happens with all kids raised in Hollywood. The fame gets to your head. An old friend of mine was Hilary Crazy, and still is. I saw her sporting a "I Love Hilary!" button, and I thought to myself that it could just as easily mean "I Love Hilary Clinton" See my point?

A must have CD
I love this CD. I just love the songs To the Beat of my Heart and Break my Heart and Girl can Rock. This CD is her best so far.

Best CD yet!
This is Hilary's best CD yet! Metamorphoisis was a little iffy, then her self-title was ok, but this is awesome! The only acception is Metamorphoisis when she says "come on and give me a kiss, come on I insist, I'll be something new..." Other than that, it's good.
