Album Description
It would be easy to dismiss Kelly Osbourne's musical ambitions based on her royally outrageous behavior on the family's MTV reality series. But spare a moment for ISleeping in the Nothing/I, the singer's follow-up effort, which turns out to be a remarkably faithful new-wave throwback that generously references everyone from Duran Duran to Missing Persons. Producer Linda Perry not only effectively revives the dramatic sounds and melodies of the era but offers songs that perfectly suit Osbourne's, vocals. The resulting disc is full of guilty pleasures like "Uh Oh" and "Redlight", tunes that should strike a chord with anyone that still gets a thrill out of happening upon basic cable reruns of ISixteen Candles/I. I--Aidin Vaziri/I

 Major improvement from her first album April 30, 2005
Ryan (Poughkeepsie, NY)
11 out of 12 found this review helpful
Wow. Kelly should make her future albums like this one. It's a shame there are only 10 songs, it just leaves you wanting more. On this album, Kelly has dropped the punk rock sound and has tuned into a hot 80's electro pop very adult album. p01.One Word - The most danceable track on the album. We all know this great track.p02.Uh Oh - A very great 80's type track. Kelly's vocals fit the song very well. You can hear her british accent in this song and it sounds very pleasentp03.Redlight - A very catchy techno song. Great lyrics.p04.Secret Lover - Kelly speaks the lyrics of the song like a curious child. But it sounds cute. The chorus will have you hooked, especially the way she says "Boyyyy"p05.I Can't Wait - A beautiful mid tempo easy listening track. Kelly's voice is so soothing, especially in the chorus when she holds the notes out for a few seconds. This sounds very much like a No Doubt ballad.p06.Edge Of Your Atmosphere - This is my least favorite track on the album. The lyrics are nice. But she sings the lyrics too fast for the tempo of the music. They don't match.p07.Suburbia - The ultimate party song. Very techno and laid back. This song brings you into another world. An escape world if you will where you can forget your troubles, lose yourself in the crowd and let your body just sway to the music all night.p08.Don't Touch Me - The only punk rock song that fits more on her first album, but it still has a pop/rock beat and the chorus is catchy.p09.Save Me - A depressing song about Kelly wondering why nobody in her family helped her with her drug problem. I think anyone can relate to this song. Not just with drugs, but with any kind of problem you have and thinking that you're not worth saving.p10.Entropy - Great song to end the album with. This has a great hard rock 80's edge to it, with a mix of techno dance. Kelly really nailed it with this album. It's too bad she wasn't a singer in the 80's, she'd be much more famous then. Lets hope her next album sounds just as good as this one and with at least one or two more songs!
Best Pop Album of 2005 May 19, 2005

Love her or hate her, she's back! After a flop (but fun) first album, and a stint in rehab due to an addiction to prescription painkillers, Kelly finally returns...and with a bang. This isn't just an ordinary pop album. This album, chock full of fun electro 80's style club tracks, is how pop at it's best should sound. Stripped down, honest, and instantly catchy. Kelly wrote the vast majority of the tracks on here (with help of hit maker, Linda Perry) and it shows. Many tracks on here tell a story, whether it be about drugs, restlessness, anger, or human society. Here is my track by track review of this pop masterpiece.pOne Word - First single to be released off of here. Pure mesmerizing electro goodness. Stunning track. The lyrics are brilliant and tell a story somewhat related to the philosopher, Nostradamus.pUh Oh - This will be the third single to be taken off of the album. 'Uh Oh' tells the story of a guy who denies his girlfriend in public, pretending he doesn't like her and so on. This one is instantly catchy with a heavy guitar hook that stays in your head for days.pRed Light - The second single to be taken off of the album. One of the more personal tracks on here. It tells how Kelly felt stuck (or waiting at a red light) while she was on drugs. Like the song before it this one is instantly catchy and has an amazing chorus. Lots of little bleeps and bloops - very Blondie.pSecret Lover - Funnest song on the album. Awesome dance style hook. I'm pretty sure she wrote this one about her ex-boyfriend (lead singer of The Used) Burt McCracken. Kelly's voice is loud and brash and she hasn't sounded better. pI Can't Wait - Kelly slows things down a bit for this one. Can best be described as a catchy 80's ballad. Not sure what this song is about though. Kelly's voice is soft and easy on the ears for this one.pEdge of Your Atmosphere - Probably the most diverse song on the album. It starts out very sentimental but instantly starts with a jumpy beat and various clapping bits, soon enough Kelly kicks in with lyrics about restlessness and love. pSuburbia - This will be the fourth and final single to be lifted off the album. Catchy right from the start. I interpret the song as an ode to pop lookalikes such as all the Britneys, Christinas, Avrils etc. pDon't Touch Me While I'm Sleeping - This one is interesting... Kelly covers a very touchy subject in this one, date rape. But thankfully she pulls it off in true fashion with a pulsating electronic beat and blaring guitars thoughout. Lots of swearing in parts (but it wouldn't be Kelly without the language would it?), which is probably what scored this album a parental advisory warning in America. pSave Me - Definetly the most personal song on here. Kelly sings about all the people who knew about her drug addiction but didn't do anything to help her for selfish reasons. One of the slower tracks on here. The beat kind of jumps around with a smooth sounding chorus.pEntropy - In my opinion this is the best song on here for various reasons. A bit like 'Don't Touch Me While I'm Sleeping' with the guitars and hard beats. This one is extremely intelligent and sounds extremely futuristic with lyrics about the degration of human society. Amazing.pIn conclusion, this album definately won't have any trouble topping my best of the year list and possibly my all time favourites list as well. Kelly really pulled it off with this one, I'm proud of her. Let's hope it does well - she sure deserves it. pGood on ya Ms. Osbourne.

Best Album This Year October 31, 2005

3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This CD has to be my favourite this year. As soon as I heard the brilliant #x27;One Word#x27; I had to buy the album. p1- One Word. brThe new sound by Kelly. Fantastic beats, an 80#x27;s sound. The verses are better than the chorus, I must admit, but still the chorus (It#x27;s not the way that i want, It#x27;s just the way that I need it, Day after day) keeps in your head for hours. br9.5/10 p2.- Uh Oh. brIt#x27;s talking about your lover denying you in public. A great hook. One of my favourites. br9.5/10 p3.- Redlight brThe second single. It#x27;s such a good song. Carrying on with the 80#x27;s sound. The chorus is one of the catchiest on the album. br10/10 p4.-Secret Lover brIt sounds like something Blondie should#x27;ve done. It#x27;s a fun pop song. The chorus is simple, but effective. br9/10 p5.-I Can#x27;t Wait brThe slowest on the album. Not my favourite. But the lyrics on this song are the best on the album. I think it#x27;s about when Kelly missed her family while in Rehab. br9/10 p6.-Edge Of Your Atmosphere brA strange sort of song, but really cool. It starts slow but soon gets reved up into a fun, futuristic pop song. The clapping gets kind of annoying but except from that it#x27;s probably my favourite. br10/10 p7.-Suburbia brThis is about celebrities and how they get criticised for changing their image. The lyrics are very meaningful. And is great for clubs. br10/10 p8.-Don#x27;t Touch Me While I#x27;m Sleeping brThe rockiest track on the album and the most powerful lyrics. It is about getting victimised by date rape. This is why their is an explicit warning, because of the swearing in the song. It#x27;s nice that although Kelly has changed her music, that she goes back to her old roots sometimes. br9/10 p9.-Save Me brThe most personal song on the album for Kelly. Listening to it, makes Kelly cry. It#x27;s about when she was on drugs and that none of her friends helped her. It#x27;s a sweet song and it#x27;s probably my second favourite. br10/10 p10.-Entropy brA bit of rock thrown in i guess, but mainly a more electronic sound. This is a great way to end this fantastic album. br10/10 pThis album is an instant classic, and i hope more people see how good it really is.
