Description of Autobiography:
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
Autobiography Reviews:
Torture. 
2009-11-09 - 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.
Proof that some people will buy anything...
2009-11-07 -
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.
UTTER GARBAGE
2009-11-05 - 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 rock", the music itself I guess isn't horrible, but the moment you hear ashlee's voice it completely ruins whatever said song may've had going for it. This album has some of the most retarded lyrics I've heard in a long time. I know pop music is generally geared towards a younger crowd, but this? I could swear this chick is singing & trying get freaky with pre-school & kindergartners. I really don't have anything good to say about this album at all unless you're an 11 year little boy in which case read a book little dude, just beware, this CD really, REALLY SUCKS!
Ashlee is now Trashlee
2009-11-05 - 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!
Not everyone is a musician...sorry Trashlee
2009-11-05 - I don't care what people say, not everyone is designed to sing or play an instrument.. and unfortunately for Ashlee, she is one of those. This album is brain bleeding bad.. in fact, so bad that I deleted the tunes from my computer and then tossed the CD.
