    This album is just incredible! I've been listening to it for years and I still love it very much! The melodies, lyrics...just perfect! They are very talented girls.

    They are sexy, but their music horribly suck. They are also 22-years-old like me. Maybe it could have been better if i died in a car accident during my childhood.

    These girls are set to become the next Avril Lavigne, they just havn't been properly recognised. But they're going to be big, I fell in love after hearing 'I could get used to this'. Pop rock has reached new levels.

    This is quickly becoming one of my favourite guilty pleasure albums of the year. Every second you listen to it, you get this sense that you should consider this unoriginal crap; however, they are deceptively addictive, and will probably blow up on the pop scene very soon. I give it a 9 because my indie-rock anti-establishment loving side won't let me give it a 10.

    Even though these girls have written easily over 100 songs with several producers. "The Secret Life of" is a quality but mixed result. They're main base "4ever" is a fantastic first single and "Everything I'm not" and "When it all falls apart" are good backups. However, after that it goes a little-pear shaped. Secret is a disaster, Speechless a saccahrine ballad and the cover Even though these girls have written easily over 100 songs with several producers.

However, after that it goes a little-pear shaped. Secret is a disaster, Speechless a saccahrine ballad and the cover "Mother Mother" very strange and awful. The rest are hit and miss with "Leave me alone" a strong goodbye but others being moody and emotional. Overall, not too bad but a lot of work to be done if these girls want to get noticed. Expand

    Sure, it's teen pop, bubblegum, call it what you will. But the veronicas have such a well-crafted and hopelessly addictive album that it's impossible not to like at least a handful of its gems. A couple ballads fall flat, but for the most part, this record is what pop in general SHOULD sound like. It's good enough to appeal to older audiences too, as a guilty pleasure, or Sure, it's teen pop, bubblegum, call it what you will.

    A breath of fresh air in pop/rock! They certainly DO NOT suck. Even if you don't like pop music, you can't deny they are great at what they do.

    I don't understand why this is called teen pop - I'm 29, and love the CD. They put an overseas spin on pop/rock that is exhilarating,

  1. The Secret Life Of The Veronicas won't ever be considered anything more than what it is: utterly disposable, shamefully enjoyable, and transparently unoriginal music that, in a just world, will spend its brief moment in the sun entertaining the 11 year olds who wouldn't dare miss an episode of That's So Raven.
  2. The Veronicas are sassy and sexy, not trashy, and they show humor and heartbreak here, which helps elevate their debut to the top ranks of 2000s teen pop.
  3. Feels like it was designed by committee.
