I have decided for my first ever rankdown to go through Lindsay Lohan's two albums (which will hopefully become a larger number in time). Her first album Speak was released December 7, 2004 and produced three singles: "Rumors", "Over", and "First". The pop rock album was given mixed reviews upon release and debuted at #4 on Billboard Top 200 selling over 216,000 copies in the first week. Simply rank your favorite (#1) to least favorite (#12) and send me a message with your rankings. I plan on giving everyone a month to submit their list. Hopefully that'll be enough time.
Song List: First Nobody 'Til You Symptoms of You Speak Over Something I Never Had Anything but Me Disconnected To Know Your Name Very Last Moment in Time Magnet Rumors
Spotify Link:
Disclaimer: I have researched to see if an album series rankdown of Lindsay has already been done but I could not find anything. Regardless, with her return to the entertainment industry in recent years, now feels like a good time to go through them again.

I'm at least mildly curious about this one, so why not. I have quite a few rankdowns to get to before this one though on my list.

I am shock and appalled at Pulse's lack of appreciation for LiLo the singer!

Which song will be #1? Rumors, if only because it's the most well-known. I'd happily take the title track as an alternative.
Which song will be #12? Don't have the slightest clue. Maybe 'Symptoms Of You'?
Which song will be the most polarizing? Watch it be something like 'Very Last Moment In Time' or 'Disconnected'.
Which song will be the least polarizing? The title track or 'Rumors'.
How does this album compare to the other Pop Rock ones of mid-2000s era? Perfectly serviceable songs, but as a debut effort it hasn't held up the best. The worst songs are just 'meh' and there's not much that's really outstanding. Lindsay deserved better as an artist, and this should've at least set up some groundwork for future success because it was at least good enough for that.
Any other thoughts? RIP the 'Speak' single release with the remixes by Hex Hector and The Scumfrog. Those are all lost to time (and apparently to the remixers themselves) never to emerge from any vault.

12. "Symptoms of You"
Track 3 | Length: 2:55
Written by: Lindsay Lohan, Andreas Carlsson, Savan Kotecha, and Lisa Greene
Produced by: John Shanks, Kara DioGuardi, and Carlsson
Points: 51
Average: 10.2
Standard Deviation: 2.23
As Az Paynter predicted, "Symptoms of You" ends up in last place for the Speak rankdown. I like the use of the piano but overall I find the song quite forgettable.

11. "Anything but Me"
Track 7 | Length: 3:16 Written by: Lindsay Lohan, John Shanks, and Kara DioGuardi Produced by: Shanks and DioGuardi
Points: 46 Average: 9.2 Standard Deviation: 1.16 (lowest)
"Anything but Me" ranks eleventh in the Speak album rankdown. No surprises thus far. I will reveal the next two in the next few hours.

Something about the composition on 'Anything But Me' is awkward as hell. IDK whether it's the chord structure or something about the production, but it feels like something's not quite clicking about it. I feel like I should like it more but whatever it is that's holding it back is bugging me.

10. "Something I Never Had"
Track 6 | Length: 3:38 Written by: John Shanks, Kelly Clarkson, and Shelly Peiken Produced by: Shanks and Kara DioGuardi
Points: 42 Average: 8.4 Standard Deviation: 3.61
This Kelly Clarkson co-wrote lands at #10 on the Speak rankdown. I can kinda hear the Kelly influence on the song. nathanalbright sees their #2 bow out early.

9. "To Know Your Name"
Track 9 | Length: 3:19 Written by: David Eriksen and Tom Nichols Produced by: Eriksen
Points: 39
Average: 4.8
Standard Deviation: 2.64
I absolutely love the electronic elements of the song. Kinda reminds me of the Dignity album by Hilary Duff for some reason. I will reveal the next four tomorrow and then finish on Wednesday.
{Rankings Revealed} 12. "Symptoms of You" 11. "Anything but Me" 10. "Something I Never Had" 9. "To Know Your Name"
{Songs Remaining} "First" "Nobody 'Til You" "Speak" "Over" "Disconnected" "Very Last Moment in Time" "Magnet" "Rumors"

This one's a little bit low. There's still better on the album but this is more middle of the pack. A last-place ranking?

I've always dug the electro-pop vibe of TKYN; I could definitely hear it on Dignity as well. And I almost had Symptoms in last place because those lyrics are middle school poetry-type bad but the way the verses crash into the hook always get me to sing along.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who heard a bit of Dignity in TKYN, which made it at least somewhat pleasant for me. And yeah, the Kelly Clarkson sound on SINH was particularly appealing for me.

8. "First"
Track 1 | Length: 3:29 Written by: John Shanks and Kara DioGuardi Produced by: Shanks and DioGuardi
Points: 37
Average: 7.4
Standard Deviation: 3.72
nathanalbright and me could not be more opposite with this song lol. I absolutely love this song but it appears others do not share that excitement . "First" and the next reveal share the same amount of points and average. The standard deviation was the determining figure.
