Secret Life Of The Veronicas, The

I don't know what happened to The Veronicas, cuz EVERY song is good. I find myself singing them around the house...and I only listen to this in my car. My daughter turned me on to this cd years ago. I asked her about them recently and she said, "Get it on Amazon, Mom." So I did. And I'm so glad! Thank you! ♥♥♥

I love the edginess of The Veronicas. I've had this CD for years and its still great to listen to, especially since most of my friends don't share my taste in music but love when I pop this CD in!

Fast shipping and now jamming to one of my favorite CDs, I'm a happy camper!

Love them all keep them all coming a have a happy and wonderful but safe new year.

*4.5 stars*Upon first glance, it would seem that The Veronicas have it all. Drop dead gorgeous looks, and raw talent to match? In 2006, singers with both of these traits are quite hard to come by. And out of all of sister acts that appeared in the mid 2000s, such as Aly and AJ, The Veronicas are by far the best. Unlike Aly and AJ, who rose to fame through Disney, Jess and Lisa Origliasso aren't just two girls singing songs, they have an image all their own. If you take the sweetness of Aly and AJ, mix it in with the brat of Avril Lavigne, and then topped it off with the image of t.A.T.u, you get The Veronicas. But they're not making music for the headlines, and they don't offer any gimmicks, they are real girls who sing about real life situations. They're the fresh faces that the music industry was dying to have in 2006. And they offer alot of style and flare, starting off the album with "4Ever" and ending it with "Mother, Mother". This album is a great journey from start to finish. The Veronicas hire the best, Dr. Luke and Max Martin, to produce infectious pop songs, and then they take the reigns and sell each and every one as if it was written all by themselves. Another thing that other singing acts could not seem to accomplish. Although, with such great, anthemic pop here, there is bound to be some songs that are sub-par. In this instance, "Mouth Shut" and "Speechless", their ballads, weigh down this album considerably. But don't worry, they quickly pick up speed and get back to songs like "Leave Me Alone", "When it all falls apart", and the album's best track, "I could get used to this." And in addition to those great assets, there's no use in trying to deny the power of "Everything I'm Not", their only true powerhouse ballad, "Nobody Wins", and their stance on individuality, "Revolution." Once you get past the dull moments, the rest of this strong debut is so immaculate it glistens. The Veronicas are not one to miss, and "The Secret Life Of..." is as edgy, exciting, and as addictive as the Veronicas themselves.

This whole album is great.... Love all of the songs... love the Veronica's ... Buy it you will like it

Thank you, I am sure my grandson will like it.

The only reason I bought The Veronicas' The Secret Life of... CD is simply because I kept hearing comparisons between them and Meg & Dia (a band I enjoy a lot). I figured anyone being compared to Meg & Dia deserved at least a listen so I got this. Word of advice:THIS IS NOTHING LIKE MEG & DIA.It's not particularly bad. From track 6 on I quite enjoy listening to it. But, those first five songs are so disgustingly pre-teen that I can't even listen to them. Okay, I should probably elaborate on that a bit.The music in those first few songs is pretty decent and the vocal delivery--as with the rest of the CD--is great. The lyrics are what destroy what really has the potential to be a good song. Don't believe me? Listen to them. They're so horrid that, and I kid you not, that only 12 year olds will think they're clever. And I know that pop music doesn't necessarily have to be deep but come on, devoting an entire song to saying how you thought a guy was gay is idiotic.Never fear for those who see potential in these girls. From Mouth Shut on we're greeted with potential being realized.By the time you get to Mouth Shut you basically know The Veronicas' routine...soft verses with rock choruses. This doesn't change on the latter half of the CD but gone are all the "I know I'm hot and you don't have a chance with me" vibes given out early in the CD, lyrics are better too. Plus, a couple ballads thrown in for good measure never hurt anyone, especially when you've got a good singing voice. Leave Me Alone shows a lot of depth with one of the best choruses of the entire disc. Nobody Wins explores further The Veronicas melodic side and we have another winner. Lyrics are at their best on this song as well. Seems The Veronicas took that age old saying "save the best for last" to heart though, cause Mother Mother is by far the best song offered. Off beat verses giving way to a truly memorable chorus is a hard thing not to love.My favorite songs are Mouth Shut, Leave Me Alone, Heavily Broken, Nobody Wins, and Mother Mother. The Veronicas aren't groundbreaking, anybody who tells you differently is just full of it. But they are good, I'll give them that. If they fully drop the stuck up-ness they sport at the beginning of The Secret Life of... then I'm sure my opinion on them will change right along with them, but until then I'm not completely sure what to think about them.

Un très bon album pour des débuts très prometteurs ! "The Secret Life Of..." a mené The Veronicas là où elles sont aujourd'hui et des chansons comme "4Ever", "Everything I'm Not", "Revolution", "I Could Get Used To This", Heavily Broken" ou la reprise de "Mother Mother" sont des références.

even the rubbish last track, Mother Mother, does not stop me giving this 5 stars. I just stop the cd when Nobody Wins ends. I got the second cd first and liked it so much i got this earlier one. Its even better than "Hook Me Up". The girls have excellent voices and the songs are really good.I would give every song 10 out of 10 except for the last track which is so bad it gets 0 out of 10. Superb as is Hook Me Up.They co wrote most of the songs, although not Mother Mother.

Myspaceで彼女達を知り、視聴して即行気に入り購入しました。どの曲もそうですがキャッチーで聞きやすいポップロックに仕上がってます。特に1曲目から4曲目までの流れがキラーチューン揃いで素晴らし過ぎ！！一番のお気に入りは3曲目の『When It All Falls Apart』でこのメロディは一度聴いてから頭から離れません。（もちろん他の曲もいいですけど）また、ヴェロニカズのメンバーが双子ということもあり、ハーモニーがとても綺麗です。アブリル・ラヴィーンや初期のヒラリー・ダフ、シーバングといったポップなガールズロックが好きな人は間違いなく気に入るはずです。ひとつ気になるのが、こんな完成度の高いアルバムなのになぜ国内盤が出ないのか不思議でしょうがないです。できればMyspaceで視聴できる未発表曲をボーナストラックに入れて国内盤をリリースしてもらいたいです。

Du bon rock de filles, fait par deux artistes fantastiques !J'ai même acheté leur album suivant qui est tout aussi bon !Un bon son entrainant et qui donne envie de bouger !

It is a good cd to listen to as I have not listened to them for a while, I look forward to getting the new one by them in a few days time and listening to the new songs, hopefully they are as good.
