Review

Well, hot damn! Ashlee Simpson's "Autobiography" burst onto the scene in 2004 like a glittery punk rock firecracker. This debut album wasn't just a case of riding her big sis Jessica's coattails - nope, Ashlee carved out her own niche with a sound that was more Joan Jett than bubblegum pop.

The album's a rollercoaster of emotions, with Ashlee pouring her heart out about breakups (sorry, Josh Henderson) and finding herself. It's like reading her diary, but set to some seriously catchy tunes. "Pieces of Me" is the kind of song you belt out in your car, while "La La" makes you want to grab a hairbrush microphone and jump on your bed.

Critics were surprisingly on board with Ashlee's rock-tinged pop, comparing it favorably to Courtney Love's work (now there's a compliment you don't hear every day). The album hit number one on the Billboard 200 and went triple platinum, proving that America was ready for a Simpson sister with an edge. And let's not forget the reality show that gave us a behind-the-scenes peek at the making of the album - because nothing says "authentic" like having cameras follow your every move, right? - Chloe
