 Outta this world........ July 18, 2008
I really enjoyed Ashlee's first 2 albums, but this one is her best yet! Wow starting with the killer single "Outta my head", which really gets the album going, definately one of the best off the album, then to "Boys", which is similer sounding to her older stuff, Rule Breaker another great track, which you can't help turn up! No 4 "No time for tears", is a lovely song vocally for Ashlee, Then my fave "Little Miss Obsessive", by far the best song yet, what a brilliant collaboration! "Ragdoll" is another fun song to listen to, while "What I've become" adds a bit of rock... back to the old Ashlee! A great dance song has to be "Hotstuff" just awesome! "Murder" is a different kind of song but interesting, then to a beautiful ballad "Never dream alone" - pure genius!
Great album........ Outta this world!!!
Brillantsweet Album! June 1, 2008
Sorry for the weird title, but this album is amazing!! After listening to 30 second clips of the tracks i was so eager to buy the album, but i was on an american i tunes and it wasnt out in the UK till the end of May. So i got it off eBay!
The tracks are amazing just because you've listened to Outta My Head Ay Ya Ya, dont let it put you off buying it!!
I would rate this album 4 and a half. It would of been 5 put i hate the ballad at the end of the album.
Fun, infectious and great! May 30, 2008

I was/am not too keen on Ashlee's first album-Autobiography. For me there were a couple of fantastic songs (Pieces of Me, Shadow), but aside from that many of the tracks and sounded similar. I love her second album- I Am Me, dark and rocky and it has many great songs, my favourites being Boyfriend and Beautifully Broken. However this is album is totally different from I Am Me, but achieves the same level of greatness. It is a fun, party type album and would appeal to people who love listening to fun, upbeat music.
1. Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya)-The first single, not my favourite track, but definitely an original one and it was brave to try something so radical and different. 8/10
2.Boys-Absolutely brilliant, electronic sounding track. Totally infectious and supremely catchy. Love it! 10/10
3.Rulebreaker-An innovative take on a rap track. 7/10
4.No Time For Tears-This is really growing on me and the vocal is really good here. 9/10
5.Little Miss Obsessive-Probably should have been the first single from the album, a brilliant track! 10/10
6.Ragdoll-My favourite track on the album, robotic and powerful-it's actually perfect! 10/10
7.Bittersweet World-Another stunning track-the title track and once again has a good message. 9/10
8.What I've Become-Kinda similar to Bittersweet World and in that respect its not my favourite track, but its a decent listen. 7/10
9.Hot Stuff-More innovative stuff from Ms Simpson and its once again fantastic stuff. 9/10
10.Murder-This is another very strong track. 8/10
11.Never Dream Alone-The only ballad on the album and it doesn't disappoint in the slightest; a great ending. 9/10
BONUS TRACKS:
12.Invisible-A rocky and interesting track. 8/10
13.Pieces Of Me-Her most successful track from album one, a great pop song, although doesn't match the feel of this album. 9/10
14.Boyfriend-This is probably her most successful song to date and it is easy to see why. 9/10
Don't be prejudiced against Ashlee Simpson, because of negative reports-I saw her in Chicago and she can sing and is extremely talented. Her vocals on this album are great and the production adds another dimension which has created a five star album. Bring on album four....
Awesome May 27, 2008
This is probably Ashlee's best album so far. If you were to add Ashlee Simpson, Gwen Stefani and Timbaland together in a human blender, you'd end up with this. I can honestly say, there isn't a bad song on here!
 The same producers as Madonna...arguably a more inventive record May 24, 2008
It's no real secret that I think that Ashlee Simpson is, ahem, a bit of alright but the real interesting factor on the release of her third album, Bittersweet World is that is come at roughly the same time as Madonna's Hard Candy. Intriguing as both make copious use of Timbaland and The Neptunes (with Madonna siding with Pharrell as Ashlee makes use of Chad Hugo) at the production helm.
What is most interesting is that whilst Madonna has gone straight for the obvious, radio friendly sound, Ashlee Simpson has been pushed in the direction of the more interesting and, dare I say it, less ordinary sound. So whereas Madonna's album is chock full of exactly what you would expect, Bittersweet World surprises at almost every turn.
Lead single Outta My Head was a fine slice of 80's influenced pop and it's hardly the only thing worth listening to on here. Boys, Rulebreaker and Murder are the kind of things that snobby music critics would find some merit in if Kylie/Gwen Stefani/Rhianna did, but it's probably true that Simpsons' deleterious public image automatically rules out any praise.
Like her previous albums, it's in no way a "must-hear" album but like her previous efforts it contains enough catchy pop tunes to make it somewhat of a worthwhile listen. She may be totally directed by her expensive producers and she may not have much to say that is worth listening to, but that's not done Madonna any harm for the past decade.
