Mandy Moore
*Mandy Moore!*
Mandy Moore manages to pack more hooks, melody, beats, clever
production flourishes, and fun into its 13 tracks than nearly all of its peers -
- remarkably, it's a stronger album, through and through. That doesn't
mean that it has singles as strong as those albums; even if the surging "In
My Pocket," the faux-sitar spiked "You Remind Me," and hip-hop ballad
"Saturate Me" are all fine tunes, meant to be played on the radio. Mandy
Moore is such a good record because of consistency. This may not hit
tremendous heights, yet everybody involved is working so hard that they've
managed to come up with a record that's consistently satisfying. It doesn't
stretch the teen pop formula much, just enough to give the record
character, and Moore delivers the songs sturdily, never taking the
forefront, but blending into the lush, layered production, so the music just
rolls forth as a whole. And that whole sounds great -- immaculately crafted,
precisely polished, exactly what a teen pop album should be. Of course, it
would have been greater if a couple of the songs were genuine knockouts,
but usually this genre sacrifices consistency for dizzying peaks and it's
refreshing to hear a teen pop record that plays like a record, instead of
singles-n-filler.
