She's almost there.
I'm not ashamed to say i'm a fan of Ashlee Simpson. I've been a fan since her first album and have stayed a fan even through her 'SNL moment.' I loved the first album. Her second was hit and miss for me. This, I believe is her best so far. One thing about the lyrics they have in the booklet thingy it comes with(or whatever they call the thing) most of the lyrics that are in the thing aren't the same words they're saying in the songs. If you're gonna learn the words to the songs don't rely on the words they give you. So whoever put that together should be fired their job can't be that hard, but i digress.

The music is great, it really is and Ashlee really does sound good. The music isn't about how she's been in some sort of shadow behind her sister and no whining about how nobody understands her. It's got great beats and it's definately got a different sound than what she's experimented with before and it works for her. Nothing on the album is bad and there are at least 4 or 5 that i like to crank the volume to but she's still got some room to grow. I'll leave it at that.
My main point:Give her a chance, at least she's not as bad as Hilary Duff or[sorry to say this] her sister Jessica Simpson. If you're going to buy any of her albums this one is probably your best bet.

Stick with Autobiography
I loved Autobiography (her first album), didn't like I Am Me (her second album) but bought Bittersweet World to complete the set. Eh, don't bother.
I still find myself listening to Autobiography more than the other two.
This album is kinda cliche, nothing special.

Probably her BEST yet
I have been an Ashlee Simpson fan from the beginning, from her show on MTV to the SNL blunder. With "Bittersweet World" you can see how much she's grown, especially through her lyrics. Although the overall sound on this album is more pop-like than her previous albums, most of the songs are catchy and fun. My favorites include "Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya)," "Rule Breaker," "Little Miss Obsessive," "Ragdoll," "Bittersweet World," and "Hot Stuff." The others are good, but don't stand out as much. Thanks Ashlee for making something fresh!

Diverse
I love, love, love this CD. I own all 3 of Ashlee's CD's and this is, hands down, my favorite. It has such a diversity of genre's on it; from pop, pop/rock to dance and hip hop. The lyrics are good as well as the production (mainly by Timbaland). It covers a broad spectrum of musical tastes.

Standout tracks:

"Outta My Head"
"Boys"
"Ragdoll"
"Hot Stuff"
"Murder"
and my favorite; "Little Miss Obsessive"

There is not one song I skip over on this release. It is all fun and upbeat and sure to be a great addition to anyones collection!!

Very Disapointed
This is not like any of Ashlee's first two CD's. She went from one end of the music spectrum to the other. I remember playing the CD and thinking "what is this"? Ashlee is one of my favorite artists, but this CD should not have been released..
