Beep - Why It's Hard to Pump Your Brakes Concerning the Dolls' Album

The fact that the Pussycat Dolls' first album is named PCD, which appears to be an acronym for the name of the group is part of the schtick that makes this album a hit on the pop charts as having titled the album as such is sure to leave some purists to vigorously debate whether or not the album is self-titled. As is typical of pop albums that just happen to talk about sexual politics the record is full of contradictions, and you have to wonder exactly what is the appeal of the Dolls as a singing group. For these reasons I'm not quite sure what to think about the Pussycat Dolls, although this is a troupe that has worked the Vegas scene for years; that they were able to parlay the success of the act into a singing career is far more fascinating than anything the group has actually come up with on the record. So far we have three singles on pop radio, and, given the sound of the album, more to come. The album, while not quite as formulaic as other pop records that are out there, has a lot of potential to rule the Top-40 charts of 2006 as well.
