Well this opinion is a bit harsh. In listing the “Crappiest Albums of 2008″ they picture both Do You Know and Bittersweet World right at the top.
I know neither album sold as well as their previous releases, but still. The worst? I don’t think so.
First of all, Jessica‘s first single “Come on Over” was a hit. The trouble was that it was the only hit off of the album. The article says this about the album, “Jessica Simpson’s stinker, Do You Know, dropped off the face of the earth (aka the Billboard Top 100) in only six weeks.”
Ouch!
Little sister Ashlee didn’t get any more kudos either. They said of Bittersweet World, “as toxic as her sister’s album, the effects of its radiation cloud will be felt for generations.” However, the album did sell over 50,000 in the first weekend alone.
Besides that, I genuinely liked the music of Bittersweet World. Must be that 80s thing, but I really did enjoy the music. Who could get “Outta My Head” out of their head? Not me.
Did you guys purchase either Jessica or Ashlee’s albums this year? If so, what did you think?

As an aspiring (sp?) muscian, who likes hard rock, I must say that Ashlee’s Bittersweet World is actually pretty awesome. She had something here, if she would have put more effort in promotioning it than getting knocked up…..
