The Long March through the Hot 100

Overall, there is not much to say about this album positively or negatively. While Iraqi teenagers are figuring out how to kill wealthier and technologically superior U.$. troops occupying their country, most Amerikkkan teenagers are like Hilary Duff singing, "Sweet sixteen/Gonna spread my wings. . .Drivin' down to the club where we go to dance. . . Bright stars shine above me/My blonde hair is everywhere." Although change is the subject of the album, it is the contented sort distracting youth from real challenges that require their energy.
