You hear a lot of echoes throughout Ashlee Simpson's Autobiography, but her big-eyed, bright-smiled sister Jessica isn't behind a one of them. That'll come as no surprise to fans and anyone who has caught the "darker" Simpson sister on MTV, which is responsible for hurtling the hard-edged "Pieces of Me" onto radio playlists across the country and creating a mini frenzy over this CD's content. Stoking the gossip-fueled flames is track three, "Shadow." On it, 19-year-old Ashlee spills her childhood resentment over her sister's attention-gulping career, ending up on a conciliatory note that has the surprising effect of making the Simpson divas' drama seem believable ("Everything's cool now…and the past is in the past," she sings). But serious music fans ought not to dilly-dally with the celeb stuff and dive right in, because this disc dishes up more than a lot of us bargained for. "LaLa" revs up the unsuspecting by way of out-and-out lustiness, "Love for Me" lays on the lovelorn angst thick, and the title track is a take-no-prisoners, love-me-or-leave-me rock anthem. Rippling throughout are cunningly malleable vocals, bending here for a kittenish Gwen Stefani effect, stretching there to sound Christina Aguilera-cathartic. Sweeter moments call to mind the indie sensibilities of Jill Sobule. More than others of her reality-show insta-star ilk, Ashlee Simpson's is an autobiography that shouts, "bring on the sequel." --Tammy La Gorce

Oh my god, this is a fun dance album and fun to listen to. But the talent is in the production. Ashlee has never had a voice that deserves a second listen. She is background to her wonderful production excess, but just about anyone could substitute for her singing(?) ability. Ashlee's limited singing talent can be effectively used for sampling, but there is nothing substantial here. She has hired the right people to keep her career alive, but really who cares? Just think...who does she sing better ... Read More

Listening to this album was torture. Trashlee, sorry I mean Ashlee, cant sing to save her life. Her voice is just awful, save your money.

This is the perfect gift for that special someone that you absolutely hate. Wait until you see the look on their face when they open "Autobiography," only to find out you have lost the receipt.

I admit, as embarrassed as I may be I got kinda sucked in by Simpson's "Pieces of me". Me coming from an electronic background was kinda looking forward to "Autobiography". I saw it for sale for only $10 so I broke one of my cardinal rules & picked it up without first giving it a proper preview. BIG MISTAKE!!! (And the music industry is wondering why so many people illegally DL music; don't know, but releases like this might have something to do with it.) The rest of the album is nothing like "pop ...

What's with all these celebrities that think they "have" to sing? Ashleee is awful at singing. The music industry has gone too far down hill, they'll make money off anybody. Just about everybody can drop an album. This is not Ashlee's calling!
This album was just garbage!
