    Mandy Moore is a pop album to be proud of: every song has a good melody, a solid hook, and dramatically improved singing from its star.

    As teen pop goes, it could be a lot worse.

    But once those fleeting, producer-driven thrills die down, the remainder of the album takes a middle-of-the-road, midtempo stance that goes from covering her age issues on "17" to getting downright silly and insipid about looove with "Saturate Me."

    All the glitter does not make gold: being Nelly Furtado ("Yo Yo") doesn't work, and a couple of Natalie Imbruglia-esque power ballads ("Saturate Me," "Crush") capture Moore in all her adolescent awkwardness, while the uptempo tracks rely on oddly placed Middle Eastern arrangements that don't fit the dance floor.

    Mandy Moore the album is surprisingly solid, especially coming from a teen singer marketed in the same category as the infamous Britney Spears. She still has a lot of growing up to do, both personally and musically (her singing still lacks the fullness it displayed on Coverage), but it's nice to see a female pop star at least TRYING to mature. There aren't any "...Baby One More Time"s or "Oops!...I Did It Again"s here, but "Cry" and "Sature" come pretty darn close. Still, great effort.… Expand

    Ten years from now - maybe sooner - this album will be a collector's item for those who collect unintentionally funny music. I don't know how young Mandy managed to obliterate every bit of soul from the beautiful ballad "Have a Little Faith In Me" - but she did it.… Expand
