Amazon.co.uk Review
You hear a lot of echoes throughout Ashlee Simpson's IAutobiography/I, 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-fuelled 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#133;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". I--Tammy La Gorce/I

 I can't get enough of Ashlee's album! February 26, 2005
7 out of 10 found this review helpful
I never thought i'd find myself listening to Ashlee Simpson when i heard that Jessica Simpsons sister was releasing an album i instantly thought she would be just like her sister..i was thinking a long the lines of Hilary Duff etc But i was wrong. This album is amazing i love it i've never listened to one album so much -one of the best albums i bought in 2004!p1) Autobiography - Love this song, great way to start the album off, v. energetic, feel good song!p2) Pieces Of Me - Ashlee's first song out in the UK and i love it, i can really relate!p3) Shadow - I love the lyrics and the idea to this rocky ballad, one of my favourites.p4) La La - Gotta love this song! It doesn't necessarily mean something its just tongue and cheek and gr8 to jump and dance around to! Love It!p5) Love Makes The World Go Round - I love this song! Lyrics mean a lot to me and i love the lyrics to this one, it's really sweet i see it as a feel good song. p6) Better Off - When i first got the album i had this on none stop as i can really relate to it my favourite line would have to be "The sky is falling And it's early in the morning But it's ok" cos when i used to get up for school i would dread it and i would listen to this song and i'd be like ykno what it's early in the morning i'd rather not be going, but it's ok. Ahh im rambling lol!p7) Love Me For Me - Wasn't too keen on this song at first cos i'm not really into Rock but not i love it its got a great beat to it. It's a really strong,powerful song with lyrics to match and i can definately relate!p8) Surrender - Another favourite of mine,an amazing song with great lyrics fun to mess around and dance to! Always makes me smile =Pp9) Unreachable - To be honest never really quite understood this song, i kind of had to make my own asumptions with the lyrics but still a nice ballad.p10) Nothing New - Loved this song when i first listened to the album i can really relate to it, gr8 rocky edge to it!p11) Giving It All Away - Another one i could not stop playing i can really relate to the words to this one! Love It!p12) Undiscovered - Kind of relate this one to unreachable because they have the same kinda vibe going on still a gr8 track though!p13) Harder Everyday - Not one i was keen on at first but no wi'm growing to love it! I love the chorus and the way Ashlee sings it - that goes for all the songs i love the way shes sings them!p14) Sorry - Love this song its my favourite at the moment, totally can relate to it as i can to most of the tracks, but definately this one, its really rocky and edgy! Love the way she sings and shouts the lyrics its like she really means it! Love it!

this album is amazing, it is definitly one to buy if you're into anything pop/rock! Ashlee has a very unique voice that is showcased exceptionally well on "pieces of me". Ashlee is going to be the next big thing, this is a fantastic album every penny is worth it!
An amazing debut album! August 8, 2004
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
One of the most amazing albums i have ever listened to!pFrom the beautifully compsoed autobiography, to the rocky 'La La'.'Shadow', describing Ashlee's childhood with with her family and how she lived in the shadow of her sister, jessica. 'Undiscovered', another beautiful song, rather like autobiography, only from a different angle. pAn amazing album, i reccomened this to everyone. With your first listen, you will fall in love with Ashlee Simpson!
Move over Jessica! March 6, 2005

This album is fantastic!brI must admit when i bought it i was a little sceptical that she would be following her sisters style and just appearing a little more rockish on her programme 'The Ashlee Simpson Show' just to get poeple to buy her album, but i was pleasantly suprised. All of the songs on there are fabulous and they are really easy to relate to. brShe is like a fresher, and more upbeat (and it must be said - intune) version of Hilary Duff. She brings something to the music, that you would expect to find on an Avril Lavigne album, that rocky twist, for example, in what i think is the best song on the album 'Sorry' she is fantastic and really sings the song with feeling, making you believe that the words have happened to her. brShe really is truly amazing, and i think she is the newer, cooler, and better version of her sister. brWell done Ashlee!!
BRILLANT ALBUM!! September 25, 2005

well, after reading the reviews of this album on amazon, i decided to buy the cd. I've had it for quite some time and it is still one of my favourites. If you don't quite like the music her sister (Jessica Simpson) comes out with, then this is sure to be the album for you. It's inspiring but loveable. 10 stars out of 5!! BUY IT!
