5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, April 7, 2007

If you've followed this girl's musical path or are just now arriving as a listener this is one strong album either way. Other reviewers in the past have mentioned being converted after taking a young person to see her live. This record comes closest to capuring the energy of her live shows and as more of an adult effort it speaks to what she has to convey and it's the real thing. The shift to more of a dance beat is superb and shows more insight than trying to become another indie rock clone. I think she is just getting started! This japanese deluxe version is pretty stunning in presentation (as they usually are) and is well worth it if you can do it. The exterior case photgraphy is very cool and the jewel case itself seems to feature the other Japanese cover art for the regular version. The photobook is great and the bonus track is a DJ kaya remix of With Love. The DVD includes a "making of" video about the photobook which the U.S. version doesn't have. Already one of my fav ten cd's in my collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilary's Dignity, May 3, 2007

With an 80's dance/techno beat Hilary comes back with her new album "Dignity". The album gathers every part that Hilary has become. The album talks a lot about her relationships with love, money, family and herself.

The first song "Stranger" says (Their no kindness in your eyes/the way you look at me is just not right) probably talking about Good Charlotte's front man Joel Madden. It seems that Hilary decided that this (her break up) would be a good theme for the album, since she is 20 an she is learning about relationships; this is notable in " Danger" (where you born in `74/are you the kind of guy that I should ignore?). Basically the whole album follows the same guideline "heartbroken girl" fighting against the world. In "With Love" she says (you can tell me I'm wrong/ that I'm coming on way too strong) probably referring to her wild side. Gypsy woman it definitely a highlight; the song is new, refreshing and the beat is pretty nice. Lyrics follow the story line from Daddy's affair. (Tried to run away with a gypsy woman, here today then gone for good)--(Enjoyed the fame/bringing down the family name). Down the road from number 6 it's an all-good fashion poppy album. "Never Stop" is a favorite, and once it hits the 2-minute mark it never stops. I really enjoyed "Happy" and "Burned" which are two up beat ballads, and last but not least "Play With Fire", this is definitely one of my favorites, the song probably has the most 80's beat (love me/love me/ feel the flame/ if you want me back again).

It is not easy to take risks, sometimes you might fail sometimes you success and this time around Hilary has succeeded--once again.

The Japanese version of the album comes in a beautiful cover with a 50-page booklet. It has a remix for "With Love".

This import of Dignity is really good. I like the Cover better then the U.S. version. This version includes a bonus track called "With Love DJ Kaya Remix which I thought was really good. It has a photo book which the U.S version doesn't with alot of good pictures. It has the same bonus DVD with the "At Home with Hilary Duff, and all the Music Videos," and it also has a Bonus Video "Hilary Duff x Leslie Kee Making of the Photobook." The only thing is that the DVD is Region 2 encoded, so you need to have a Region 2 or Region free DVD player to play the DVD, but the CD works in anything. If you know Japanese, it comes with a Japanese song book along with an American one.
