Just heard Doll Domination and I like it. It's not as amazing as PCD though. favourite tracks are Hush Hush, I Hate This Part, Happily Never After, Elevator, Magic, Whatchamacallit and When I Grow Up

Wellwellwell...it's not the best album ever, but it is one of the best this year, I still think DK's album is far more superior than this one, the only songs I really like right now are Hush Hush, Whatcha Think About That, When I Grow Up, and Bottle Pop.

Where can I listen to it? :O *curious*

Beffi 16th September 2008 08:18 PM

They performed When I Grow Up on GMTV this morning (7am =/) and the video is up on the website, but I don't know if only people in England can watch it seeing as though it's broadcast in England.

The link is here anyway. :)

waaaaaa I waited so loooong for Doll Domination! Hope it's good...

Partino 16th September 2008 10:41 PM

^ it's not :no ... PCD was way more better. DD ... I dunno ... I don't get the vibe
it sound so overdone. Do you know what I mean?!?

U-GO-BOY 16th September 2008 10:44 PM

yea hmm~ I'll see^^

I like PCD more than Doll Domination. There's not as many dance-y tracks on the new albums as I would've liked.

I'm personally pretty impressed with the new album and would say it slightly edges out their first effort in my opinion. Although none of the songs, except "When I Grow Up", even come close to approaching the pop perfection of any of the singles from their debut, I would say that the overall quality of Doll Domination is slightly higher simply because there are no flat-out bad tracks, which were quite common on the latter half of PCD. I'm glad they left out the covers for this album in favour of solely contemporary tracks, because although they fit in well with the original, pre-girl group Pussycat Doll image, they weren't well-updated enough to compete with their first album's original material.

For me, the standouts from Doll Domination are mostly the ballad work ("I'm Done" is especially gorgeous, as well as "I Hate This Part") and the two tracks that were originally supposed to be on Nicole's solo album, "Happily Never After" and "Who's Gonna Love You". Admittedly though, I actually prefer the more repetitive but much slicker fan-made extended mix of "Who's Gonna Love You" from forever ago. The actual final version kind of goes downhill about halfway through, and the whole outro is pretty bad in my opinion. I'm also probably one of the few people who likes "Out of This Club". It's dumb, but very fun and listenable, and the album version sounds slightly less sparse than the leaked version, which is rather nice.

Aside from the mid-tempo songs and ballads, I really liked "Whatchmacallit", one of the few songs that is actually camp, fun, and actually made with PCD in mind, not just a song made for the revised Her Name Is Nicole then moved up to the PCD album instead. With that being said, it does suffer from a lack of a proper chorus, a problem that plagues the bulk of the album.

Another highlight was "Halo", probably the best "Cry Me a River" clone since "What Goes Around". I loved the Timbo tracks in general, and it seems to me that his sound has actually progressed with this material for the first time since 2006.

Finally, I have to mention the embaressing bonus disc. Like I said before, Kimberly's song is magical, mainly because I have a twisted sense of humour. Anyone who keeps demanding to know why only Nicole sings shold be silenced once they hear it. The other girls suck. Vocally, of course.

milky_way 17th September 2008 01:20 AM

I really like 'Halo.' :yes

thinkingoutloud89 17th September 2008 11:57 AM

Hmmm PCD had much more standout tracks but poverall I like this album more. Tough it is toooo ballady for me and a bit overloaded...a problem that Black Cherry ahd with all it`s Bonus stuff. When I grow up is the only fun song and the only one that makes me think of greta Pussycat Dolls Dance Action

U-GO-BOY 17th September 2008 11:21 PM

hmm I think the album's quite good... I really like WIGU, WTAT, Halo, Whatchamacallit, and I Hate This Part.
But I really like PCD much more~
Someone noticed a little change in the beginning in "When I Grow Up"? I was at first somewhat surprised but it sounds cooler, I think


I made a mashup with Buttons and Koda Kumi's "CANDY". Could someone please give me some critique?^^
You can hear & download it here:

Me too!Doll Domination has a fresher sound,but it's not as cool as PCD.

bondingo 18th September 2008 03:51 PM

If I didn't care for PCD as much as everyone else here, but love When I Grow Up, would I like Doll Domination more? Not that anyone would really know, but based on what I said.

No_Doubt 19th September 2008 02:57 AM

^Did you enjoy Nicole's solo work? If so, I would say you would definitly like Doll Domination, because "When I Grow Up" and the rest of the album is a lot closer in sound to Nicole's solo material than PCD.

TITANIC 19th September 2008 12:47 PM

awhh. does anybody download the album?? it's up at KMC now.. yuhhuu

I liked some of it, so hopefully I'll like the album. I'm buying it no matter what anyways.
