Danity Kane

Unlike most of the garbage released by most girl groups today, Danity Kane can sing. Most of the current girl groups out there are merely sold for their looks to impressionable teenagers. Despite this, I find Danity Kane's songs boring overall, each song begins to sound like the other as they work their strong points so much that in the end, the outcome is a monotonous blur of songs that you'll soon forget the names of. I though the first album was better actually even though I didn't like that one either.

A friend who purchased both of these albums loaned them to me and I returned them the next day. When I listened to their albums I felt compelled to quickly fast forward though tracks and became bored with songs quickly. Even sadder, I didn't even think to copy any of the tracks into my collection on my computer. I also haven't even attempted to download bittorrent versions for myself so even for free I didn't want this album, as I've done this in the past to one hit wonder artists who sell albums with one good track on their entire album, primarily as punishment for people who release garbage.

I think once your older than say 21-24, you'll find Danity Kane boring and will want to listen to albums that provide better entertainment beyond the sexy image they portray. I do have a comment in their defense; On the Making the Band TV show, Diddy come down on that one band member for her overly sexy look and I felt if anything, he should include all the rest of them in this judgement because let's face it, they're all being partially sold on looks and not totally on substance.

Overall, I don't expect to see Danity Kane in 2-3 years from now and figure like many other groups before them, they'll be just a memory as there star fades, hopefully these girls will grow as individuals and maybe there is a chance that as solo artists they will have a little more to bring to the table but as a group I feel they have one more album left in them before fans get bored and move on to other trendier artists of that moment....

Two of my three favorite tracks are the first two sung tracks ("Bad Girl" and "Damaged"; "Key To My Heart" is the third). This means that the project had great promise, but then it all sounded the same, with little to regain my interest.

Also, I did not know the girls by voice, and the liner notes did not tell who's who, as far as I know.

This album is great, especially since it might be the last one that these 5 do together!

If you love great music, then you will love this cd. Danity Kane came back with more sound and experience with their sophmore album. I listen to this CD everyday since I got it back in March. This is one of the best CDs of 2008.

It's the first time I've listened to Danity Kane. At first the dance-like beats struck me and the music made me feel like dancing to a fast R&B style, but then I became overwhelmed with the number of voices and sounds overlapping. It just felt like too much, each voice repeating the same word over and over until it sounded like a slightly chaotic echo. At the same time, I still think the beats are really catchy, and I think it's a good CD to listen to in the car or whenever you need some up-beat music.

I thought this album was awesome!! I like the entire album and just listen to it on repeat. They worked with some really good producers and it's great that they can actually sing.

I am a fan of the show and had to purchase this CD when it came out. I was completely surprised how professional and wonderful it was! For 5 brand new 'stars' they knocked this out of the park!

This is brilliant. I got both cds of DK together but had always listened to this one online. It's an amazing initial effort from DK, it's a new born masterpiece :) but I love the 2nd album even more

Yes!!! This is a right mix of Pop music, R&B and I think a little of Soul... Danity Kane are very good and energetic in your interpretation of song!!!

I had to check out this CD after listening to "Welcome to the Doll House" to see if this one could top it. "Welcome to the Doll House" is better, although "Show Stopper" is my favorite of both CDs. "Sleep On It" brings the funk, and I love Aundrea's voice on the beginning of "Hold Me Down," but the rest of the songs were soft and pretty. I'm not knocking soft and pretty, but I like this group better doing dance, upbeat tracks the way they said they wanted to on Making the Band, Season 4. This CD is the type of album that you listen to on a rainy or relaxed day. Some songs hit the mark of being neosoul, such as "Want It," and their voices sound great on each track.
