    Hilary really changed it up for this album. Songs like "Stranger" "With Love" Play With Fire" and "Between You and I" have Hilary's pop roots, but songs like "Gypsy Woman", "DIgnity" and " Burned" have a darker side of Hilary that no one's ever really seen. I applaud this album because Hilary sounds more original and less like the bubble gum pop artists of this generation

    Best album in pop history, she paved the away for mainstream artists. "With Love" is a masterpiece that should have been #1 on every single chart around the world and dominate the lists but people are homophobic. Also this is her darkest album so give it up for Dignity you guys!

    Difícil de acreditar que esse álbum lançado em 2007, parece que ele foi lançado no ano passado. A bíblia teen envelheceu como um vinho!

    This album deserves more recognition. It's by far one of the best albums of 2007 and it's full of pop gems. Stranger, Gypsy Woman, Burned... There isnt a filler or bad song on this album.

    This is basicly Hilary's best item up to date compare to all her previous attempt which might be all bubble-gum and sugar pop. This probably quite bubbly, but actually it's a totally nice attempt to alter her pop sound to electronic-pop. I can feel confidence in how she manage her music, but not on her voice; probably she's trying to hard to be poised and elegant.

I can feel confidence in how she manage her music, but not on her voice; probably she's trying to hard to be poised and elegant. Her voice turned out weak. Dignity must be a HIT when she released her next single "Stranger". She should release "Gypsy Woman" as her 4th single, because it is the HOTTEST track on the album. This can be identified as Britney's TOXIC!!! Well, this song is Hilary's TOXIC "Gypsy Woman" I'd be waiting for your next album Expand

    This is the best hilary duff cd ever, although its not more rock than her last album, but its still amazing, for those of you who said she sucked, at least she worked hard and contributed so much time making a freakin album, imagine how long it takes to make ONE song.

    i htink this is her best album to date, this shud be rated at least an a, for effort and result...the new genre she explored wors for her..but she needs to create much more catchier tunes so people would remember her..but i think "with love" has just done that for her...love hilary to the core

    Unbelievable, only one truly weak song (Between Me and You). And to "Nick C", she co-wrote all but one track on the album.

    This album is fantastic. Hilary's new sound is great and she is definately growing as an artist. She deserves to do well and this album really relects her hard work. The tracks are dancy and the lyrics and really meaningful.

    When I bought Hilary Duff's new CD, "Dignity" I was expecting something new and improved, and that's what I got. Her upbeat tunes are fresh, and they are fun to sing to and dance to when you're feelin' blue. I really enjoy "Gypsy Woman", I've never heard Hilary sing something so fresh. Overall, I would have to say this is a great CD and a break from the rock tunes When I bought Hilary Duff's new CD, "Dignity" I was expecting something new and improved, and that's what I got.

    I've enjoyed Hilary Duff since her Lizzie McGuire days on Disney, and I snagged this CD from my little sister. I was shocked at what a great pop album it turned out to be, and I anticipate that this will become part of the soundtrack to my summer. Sure, it's derivative. But she stole from all the right people.

    I was never really been a big fan of Hilary but I have to say that this CD is not bad at all. Most of the songs are quite catchy and have a decent beat. I think that this is CD is a good step in the right direction for Hilary. There is definitely a more mature sound to the lyrics and music and is in no way similar to her previous "teeny-bopper" records at all. Absolutely worth a listen!

    A strong third time out from Hilary, she is showing that she can have adult sensibilities while retaining a level of class. However a few of the tracks on this album come off mundane and in some cases it feels like she is trying too hard to escape the musical image her ex helped her form.

    Instead of croons and ridiculous teen-pop-dance trash, our little Lizzie dissed the cheese and matured into a real pop star... which makes Dignity such a gem in coming-of-age pop she once shortly conquered.

    This album is a indeed a masterpiece. Every track in this is **** good. 61 out of 100? Isn't even fair. These critics should go listen to it again. Dignity is their best album and I'm sure of that.

    Well i like it, most of it but, i think her previous albums were better in general i don`t know, its nice that she started write her songs, but i think she should not do it, better leave it to other writers

    Before electropop was popular, before gaga even exist, this album has been the electopop jam. Perfection from start to finish. Gypsy Woman, along with Burned, With Love, and Stranger are the highlight of the album.

    For Hilary, "Dignity" was what "Can’t Be Tamed" was for Miley, "Revival" for Selena or "Dangerous Woman" for Ariana. She was breaking free from her teen bubblegum Disney image.

She was breaking free from her teen bubblegum Disney image. She was 19 at the time the album was released. Unlike Miley or Ariana, growing up didn’t mean shocking, sexual lyrics or walking around naked for Hilary but personal lyrics and a mature sound and image (including a new hair color).

    With "Dignity", Hilary moved away from the bubblegum pop of her debut "Metamorphosis" or the teen pop-rock from her self-titled second album. The album was a dance pop and electro-pop album with influences from genres like R&B, hip-hop and rock music and some oriental sounds here and there. She had never been so involved in an album. She served as the executive producer and co-wrote 13 of the 14 tracks on the album. The album is her most personal to date as it addresses topics such as her breakup from her then boyfriend, her stalker, fame, fake people in Hollywood, the divorce from her parents after 22 years and her fathers' unfaithfulness which caused it. All those pretty serious topics were wrapped in a danceable dance pop sound. To me this is Hilary‘s most experimental and personal work to date and her second best album after "Breathe In. Breathe Out", the album that followed 8 years later. It is definitely her most cohesive album though and is criminally underrated.

    Dignity de Duff y Blackout de Spears son y seguirán siendo albumes adelantados a su época y muy infravalorados, ambos merecían más reconocimiento tanto comercial como en crítica.

  1. On Dignity she makes some serious headway into turning into a mature recording artist, which makes this an effective, strangely endearing album.
  2. Duff edges ever closer to adult sensibilities; her goofball Lizzie McGuire days seem far behind.

    It's practically something straight out of the United Kingdom for all of its poppy goodness. [14 Apr 2007]
