Advantages: it has 'since u been gone' on

Disadvantages: a couple of naff tracks

This album just summed up my college days.

every track on it was one you could sing along too, and after kelly's debut offering, was slightly unexpected.

throughout the album is great vocals, catchy riffs and memorable choruses.

track by track:

breakaway - the first official single from this album - great chorus, bit cheesey but good to sing along to. ***

since u been gone - THAT song, possibly one of the greatest pop songs of recent times. perfect electro rock beats, great angst driven lyric, perfect sing a long chorus. *****

behind these hazel eyes - my album favourite. admittedly better live than on the recording, a modern day power ballad. *****

because of you - love the lyric, the heart breaking delivery of the words, perfect ballad. never gets old *****

gone - an upbeat rock song, its good , but not the same calibre as the last three. ***

addicted - slight evanescence feel to this one, a bit darker, a great pop rock song with some dark lyrics and a powerhouse vocal ****

where is your heart - a slower one, a bit of an acoustic feel. corny lyrics ***

walk away - a great single choice, very american sounding though. upbeat rock song ***

you found me - my least favourite on the album, a bit mediocre in comparison to the rest on offer. **

i hate myself for losing you - a guitar driven rock song, sort of a sign of things to come from my december.... ***

hear me - again another filler, its by no means bad, but would have suited someone else better. **

beautiful disaster live - kellys strength lies in her live vocals, an excellent take on a rubbish song from her debut. *****

Summary: a very strong sophomore album. cemented kellys longevity.
