I’ve listened to the whole album, and it’s better than I expected. Well, she’s my favorite from Season 7, and I had high expectation for her 2nd album considering how much I loved her 1st album, and she didn’t disappoint.

Go Brooke!

#4 on iTunes? That’s awesome. Great promo on iTunes as well.

Yeah, I wanted an actual CD, too. But now I might have to go to iTunes as well.

I’m not sure how well this will sell though to those outside AI ‘ ¦ The songs kinda blend together for me and I really can’t imagine hearing them on the radio’ ¦

Yeah, I wonder this, too. Listening to them on itunes, I get a smile on my face because I think, Awwww….Brooke! But that obviously doesn’t sell music to people who don’t already like Brooke as a person, really. And the songs do kind of run together. I’m not inclined to buy the whole album, even though I do think, Awww…Brooke! when I hear her. Just trying to figure out a couple of songs that I like best so I can have a little Brooke on my ipod to make me smile every once in a while.

I have been trying to avoid this thread in order to fight the temptation to get it from ITunes… I want the CD instead. But y’all are tempting me…

I bought it – I loved Brooke last year and I want to support her. The sound is definitely retro and a throw-back to a previous decade and all that. I’m not sure how well this will sell though to those outside AI … The songs kinda blend together for me and I really can’t imagine hearing them on the radio…

This is great news for Brooke. I wish her the best and hope she gets some radio play. Seems she’ll move quite a few more units than Michael Johns, or maybe that’s only because this is only at iTunes right now?

Double pleasant surprise. I thought I had to wait until next week to download it from iTunes (my record store of choice). And pay $13.95 as well.

Randy Jackson is listed as executive producer.

Listening to “Sometimes Love” right now. Did she do one of those patented Brooke do-overs?

I bought it. I like it. It’s worth $7.99. (Good pricing strategy, I probably wouldn’t have bought the whole thing at $9.99 or higher – I suspect there are many others like me.) Brooke reminds me of Bo. A genuine throwback sound. If you like it and want more they are great. If your one copy of Tapestry or Skynyrd is enough then not so much.

One of the things that stood out to me on the album is that Brooke uses back-up singers. So much of today’s music is layering the voice of the lead singer only. I really enjoyed hearing actual back-up vocals. The album in general is nicely done and not over-produced.

Someone is out of control with the photoshop! I just don’t get it. She’s beautiful. She’s not even chubby, so you don’t have to “sculpt” away her double chin. WTF are they doing?

Seriously, Brooke is gorgeous - but that picture looks nothing like her!

It looks a heckuva lot more like her than that photo from last week!

I’m glad that Brooke’s album dropped, but who’s that on her album cover?

I’m pretty sure it’s Sheryl Crow.
