1 CENT CD: Ashley Parker Angel 'Soundtrack To Your' NEW

CONDITION OF CD: MINT CONDITION! STILL SEALED!

So relentlessly catchy is "Soundtrack to Your Life," the single off the relentlessly catchy debut by MTV reality scenester Ashley Parker Angel, that the average vulnerable listener may begin to worry--after weeks of being able to hum nothing else--that it has literally become the soundtrack to her life. This effect can be especially troubling for boy band-haters--Angel, after all, was a founding member of the short-lived 'N Sync-like outfit O-Town--but it shouldn't be. On this solo debut, the flop-haired heartthrob comes across about as boy-band-derived as any recent entry on the modern rock charts. Which is to say, not at all. On opener "Let U Go," A.P.A. comes out rocking hard: elements of pop swirl around, but so do post-punk flourishes (a band like My Chemical Romance might have had a home in his iPod while he was recording). Later the disc takes a turn toward the mainstream, with "Crazy Beautiful," "Beautiful Lie," and "Feel So Alive" sounding as squarely pop--soaring guitars and all--as their titles suggest. But to discount Angel as a rocker because he has a way with a pop hook wouldn't be fair. Overall, this is Goo Goo Dolls-type rock, accessible but best played loud, with a surprisingly sharp edge. "Perfect Now" puts the point across best: In it, our melodic mastermind thoughtfully knocks an overachieving prom queen from her self-satisfied perch. The rub: he's not afraid to drop the "A" word in an early verse.

One review reads 'Ashley Parker Angel saw success and fame through his participation in a musical group called O Town, the product of a TV reality show about making a boy band. When the group's star faded, so did Angel's, but not his ambition.

Soundtrack to your life is Parker Angel's attempt to forge a solo career free from the auspices of O Town and for a first up effort the signs are encouraging indeed. While O Town was very much is the pop mold 'Soundtrack' rocks and is a lot stronger than anything Parker Angel had previously assosiated with.

The album is a collection of '70s singer/songwriter and '80s college rock and Parker Angel's vocals are reminiscent of a cross between the balladering of Goo Goo Dolls front man John Rzeznik and the front ahead rock of All American Rejects Tyson Ritter.

Let U go is allready a hit single and Soundtrack to your life will be. The album begins pretty rock heavy but perhaps the shining moments are towards the end with two incredibly moving ballads "Where did you go" and the cinematic "Apology"

The album was produced by the Matrix team who have also worked with the likes of Avril Lavigne and Hilary Duff and are no strangers to making hits that garner high radio rotation.

Expect to hear a lot of Ashley Parker Angel over the airwaves this summer.'.
