Editorial Review:
2008 UK pressing of the teen queen'a hit album featuring one bonus track ('Girl Can Rock') and different artwork than the U.S. pressing. Includes bonus track 'Girl Can Rock' and features an alternate cover to the US version. Already having had a #1 in the US Billboard Charts, with both her debut album and single, Hilary Duff is one of the States biggest and brightest stars. Best known as "Lizzie McGuire", Duff has enjoyed tremendous success, spawning a multi-million dollar grossing movie, two soundtracks (one for the TV show and one for the movie with sales in excess of 2 million), she even has her own magazine in the UK entitled "Lizzie McGuire" all at 15.
Description of Metamorphosis:
She may have played a teenaged girl mistaken for a pop star in The Lizzie McGuire Movie, but after releasing a Christmas album in 2002, and crooning two songs on the movie’s soundtrack, Hilary Duff looks like she means business. The only trouble is, she doesn’t sound like it. Although dubbing her first album Metamorphosis, the disc is anything but. Her singing is as coy and kittenish as her on-screen persona and she mugs her way through most of the 13 songs with charm and aplomb, but little natural singing talent. But to her credit, the actress has managed to cover a multitude of vocal sins by hiring a team of crack producers, who double her voice whenever possible, giving many of the tracks the rather anthemic feel of a cheerleading squad. The best songs on the disc are the three masterminded by the Matrix, the same production team that oversaw Avril Lavigne's hit disc and they give the lissome actress’s singing some attitude and grit, like on the infectious and spectacularly bratty "So Yesterday," and the cleverly conceived "Math," complete with heavy metal guitar riffs. But Duff is not inhabiting that saucy jailbait territory staked by Britney Spears. At the ripe old age sixteen, she’s much more Barbies than bustiers. --Jaan Uhelszki
Metamorphosis Reviews:
Yuck. 
2009-12-20 - Hilary Duff is one of the worst singers to date. She's such a poser, just like Avril Lavigne. Real punk is supposed to be strange, rebellious, and exciting. This is just radio-friendly pop with electric guitars in the background. It's people like Hilary, Avril, and Lindsay that are ruining music, one of the greatest things to happen ever. So to everyone who is calling Hilary punk or hardcore, stop! You don't know what you're doing!
How much faker could someone be??
2009-12-19 - Her voice is SO edited in her music its disgusting... i find it sad that someone has so much money that they can buy their own voice. I like my singers to be real and not computer generated...
I officially gave up hope for America....
2009-12-19 - Ok, I know every actress goes through a stage when they think they can sing, and I'm sorry but she's just one of those people who should of just skipped that stage......
Tiring....
2009-12-11 - Hilary Duff's "Metamorphosis" is an excessive foray into mindless self indulgence. There's nothing remotely interesting about the singer, nor her tiring album. Most of the songs sound the same, lacking any sense of urgency or danceable beat. She sprinkles rap into them to make them even more annoying. I can't recommend this in any case.
My Favorite CD 
2009-05-27 - This is my favorite cd I own. Hilary has an amazing voice. Her songs are very catchy, and awesome. You should definitly buy this cd if you like pop music.
