They need to really get rid of all the Nicole filler (5-6 songs) and replace it with all the bonus tracks.

Okay... I never got the hype about this group, and I hate most of their singles, but people seem to like them so I dled this to see what it sounded like... ....good to see Nicole finally got a chance to release her solo album. I especially love the one song where somebody is like yelling in the background "Yall ain't ready! It's NICOOOOOLE." But the album sounds pretty much like what I expected, overproduced uptempos on the verge of causing headaches, and sappy ballads with corny analogies and lyrics that sound like diary entries of a 12 year old girl... Pretty much the equivalent to a post-2000 Mariah Carey album except the vocals could use another run through the auto tune. It has some decent moments tho. I'll have a listen to it a few more times to see if anything really grows on me.

HUSH HUSH is a jam! ELEVATOR is teen pop at its best! Also OUT OF THE CLUB is much better than the demo! They cleaned it up and added a rap by Polow!

I'm liking the album, but are there any of the songs where the others sing solo, other than those bonus songs? I can't tell any voices apart, lol.

I love the whole album! I'm really surprised... I hope they release again 6 or 7 singles... I'd say: 1. When I Grow Up 2. Watcha Think About That ------------------------------------------------ 3. I Hate This Part 4. Who's Gonna Love You? 5. Happily Never After/Out Of This Club 6. Bottle Pop 7. Out Of This Club/Happily Never After I don't know... that's the singles I'd pick after the first listen... I've loved HNA since it came out a few months ago, and I'm sure it'd do really well... IHTP is also really good, a little whinny, but I like it... (I placed it as the third because I think it's a safer bet than HNA) WGLY is a smash waiting to happen... Bottle Pop is different, but I'm sure it'd be succesful... And I'm hooked to OOTC, hated the demo, but the final version is really catchy All the ballads are really good actually, but I think the ones I picked are the safest choices, anyway, I need to spin them a few times more

So far PCD>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>DD For now I definitely agree. I'm pretty torn on what the singles should be. I still say I Hate This Part sounds like the biggest hit on the album, but nothing sounds Don't Cha/Buttons/Stickwitu big to me.

Also I was very disappointed with the full version of Bottle Pop. I thought it would be an album highlight from the preview, but it's way too repetitive and boring for me.

I actually really like the album..but the solo disc + the Nicole leftovers are a complete waste of time. Timbaland produced my fav. songs..I hope either Magic or Whatchamacallit are singles at some poiint...and I Hate This Part needs to be next.
Magic Whatchamacallit I Hate This Part Bottle Pop In Person Takin' All Over The World Whatcha Think About That ft Missy Elliott Elevator Love The Way You Love Me Halo Hush Hush

I don't think Melody's voice is stronger or better than Nicole's on record. I just don't.

All the girls can sing equally the same as Nicole. Nicole just has star quality as the front runner of the group?

I hate that they went with that wacky Missy song as the second single. Bottle Pop or I Hate This Part would've been better

Wow, the album is hotter than I expected. Gonna take a few listens to digest it all 'cause there's so many tracks, but I like it overall.

I like "Elevator," a lot...but since "When I Grow Up" was Darkchild's single...they'll probably release a Timbaland. "Magic," and "Halo" I like. Particularly "Magic." They could have gotten rid of "In Person," "I'm Done," and "Happily Never After." Even nixing te new "Out of This Club" wouldn't have hurt...and maybe making "Played" and "Space" actual PCD tracks would have worked better for the main album.

After hearing those solo tracks, all I have to say is I now know why Nicole is always pushed front and center, especially that If I Was A Man nonsense...
