Editorial Review:
Lindsay Lohan leaps into her much anticipated debut CD with a blast of something that simulates warmed-over Led Zeppelin (the lyrically ferocious "First") and from there finesses it into a stylish experiment in pounding away at teen pop's predictability. Influences--not all of whom her 8-to-14-year-old fans will flip to, or even find, in their pinup mags--loom large: While the Ashlee Simpson-like rocker "Nobody 'Til You" winds into the Jessica Simpson-y "Symptoms of You," the lovelorn "Something I Never Had," taps a sweetly unself-conscious vocal vein that owes gratitude to the otherwise highly un-Lohan-like Lisa Loeb. Though Lohan might balk at the comparison--she is, after all, the "Ultimate"-spawning original teenage drama queen--fellow tween queen Hilary Duff's stamp is pressed firmly into stormy self-explorers like "Disconnected" and "Anything But Me." Where "Speak" intones loudest, though, is in its least-rocking, most beat-propelled songs: The title track dips and bounces tantalizingly, begging hands-in-the-air listeners to "c'mon and let it out"; "To Know Your Name" digitizes a sexy hip-hop inflected dance number; and "Rumors," a J. Lo-like thumper (and one in a trifecta of pouts over the pitfalls of stardom) ends this disc on a don't-stop, bound-for-diva-dom note. -Tammy La Gorce
Speak Reviews:
Torture. 
2009-11-09 - Listening to this album was torture. Lindsay cant sing to save her life. Her voice is just awful, save your money.
an insult to the music industry
2009-11-08 - This album is a cruel insult to the music industry. Lindsay can't sing. When she tries to carry a tune, it sounds like something is dying. I see thousands of people every day with more talent. I would really, really hate to see what she sounds like without all the work done to her voice. With the editing she's still bad, let alone without all the editing. 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 "Speak," only to find out you have lost the receipt.
Not everyone is a musician...sorry Lindsay
2009-11-05 - I don't care what people say, not everyone is designed to sing or play an instrument.. and unfortunately for Lindsay, 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.
Garbage 1/5
2009-11-05 - I do like pop music at times, I am no music snob by any means. And it's been proven time and time again you don't need to be able to sing to make good music. But this, this is just trash. And this girl, I mean really, where did she come from? I'd much rather go back and listen to Lady Gaga, than this drivel.
