Very Good Pop Album

Review Score: (8/10)
Although not as famous as Britney and Aguilera, Mandy Moore's second real album ("So Real" and "I Wanna Be With You" are actually the variants of the same theme) is very good. Most pop artists stick to chart-ready 'just add water' formulas. the album does nothing of the sort. Going for a more adult sound and featuring elements of middle-eastern influence and acoustic soft rock sounds, this album is a great deal better than most pop albums out there. It is a shame that it did not do quite as well as Britney, but I praise Mandy for the lack of Max Martin.
