"Everything" marries the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Under the Bridge" to Michelle Branch, but it's just Fefe making that unholy union work.
She coats the couplets of bombastic pop-punk opener "Stupid Little Love Song" in layers of jaded sarcasm - just like a frowning punk rock girl would do if she had to reveal her crush to the captain of the football team. This is just one instance where Dobson's diction, dicked-over anger, and damn huge voice goose her debut past its popternative tendencies. Instead she lets them tumble, stumbling over one another in a giddy summation of the relationship's salad days. "I remember how it was when we started off/With your tattoo and your lip pierced/And the raggedy style you used to rock" - Dobson doesn't pause between these words. The histrionic kiss-off "Bye Bye Boyfriend" lurches like Tracy Bonham's "Mother Mother," whipping wildly between a headbanging chorus and shuffling, atmospheric verses. Working closely with producer Jay Levine, Fefe Dobson created a rousing debut that, despite being a highly melodic and relentlessly effective pop album, is rescued from flavor-of-the-moment dissipation by a schizophrenic rock crunch and her own attractively bad attitude.
