Track Listing:

1.) The Itch = This is the first single off "More" that we all have heard and if you haven't heard it then you better. Repeatedly time after time this song is not about someone scratching themselves because they literally have an itch. The itch refers to someone urging and needing something that they want or had and want again.

2.) Sex Has Come Between Us = The meaning to this song is as equal to that of "The Itch", however the lyrics are more accurate and meaningful. This song is a great danceable track with great funky up-tempo beat. I have to say that this song fits every movie that is about peer pressure on premarital sex.

3.) That Was Then, Then Is Now = Vitamin C's voice flows well throughout the beat of this song, and her voice expresses aggression. The song is mid-tempo and has a great guitar base that just sounds great with the vocals. I think this song will be one of the winners of this album because the meaning is strong.

4.) Dangerous Girl = This song is like that of track 3 because it features that great guitar base and than as the song flows on the beat changes completely with a faster up-tempo beat. Basically this song talks about everything she or the person she is singing about has been through growing up.

5.) She Talks About Love = This song has like a funky disco beat and sounds like it came right out of an eighty's film. This song is a pretty good dance track if you like bringing out you disco day moves. Even the lyrics sound like that of a disco day song.

6.) I Know What Boys Like = This is a very teasing type of song with sexy irresistible vocals and a great up-tempo beat. She gets her point across that she is women hear her roar and that she has every thing she needs to get any guy she wants.

7.) Busted = This song reminds me of those bail bond commercials, but it has a great criminal like beat. Basically this is about her catching her man cheating on her and being busted not about a person you see on cops.

8.) Special = This song is pretty good and is basically an over-coming song about getting over things that happened in life or getting the person you want to be with.

9.) Where's The Party = The beat to this song is like that of a rock song and I believe that this is a good song and all but I think its purpose was just to fill up room on this CD because the vocals could have been somewhat better.

10.) I Can't Say No = This song starts off with some really strong hard core beats and than goes a bit softer not too much. The intro of this song is not as good as the rest of it, the song would have been fine with out the little intro thing.

11.) Real Life = This has a really good beat that flows great with her voice, the beat is very unique and stands alone as an original. This song talks about real life issues.

12.) As Long As You're Loving Me = This song is by far my favorite song off this album, its been my favorite even before the album came out. There is something original a unique, this song has number one potential, lets see were the fans take it. This song has the same potential as "Graduation" did off of her first album. Although this song is very ballad like it still has a great beat and it is at a decent speed.

Vitamin C will go places weather it is in the music or movie business, I hope she sticks to her roots and keeps on bringing out fantastic music. If you are already a Vitamin C fan than you have no excuse to hesitate on buying this CD. If you are a new Vitamin C fan than I'm suggesting this to you in hopes that you will be feelin' it the way I am. Take your Vitamins, there always good for you especially when there in the form of music.


Great Music, Outdated & Crippled Enhanced CD Portion   May 5, 2005

[3 Stars For The Music, 0 Stars For The Outdated & Crippled Enhanced CD Portion]

Vitamin C's "More" was originally released in 2000 by Elektra Entertainment Group (a division of Warner Music Group). "The Itch" music video on the CD-ROM portion of the disc ("Enhanced CD") is crippled using HyperCD technology. (HyperCD is the brand name for a way of removing a small slice of meta-data from a digital file such that the file is made unreadable. This process is called "encrippling." Only when the "encrippled" file on a computer is linked with the piece of meta-data on a web site can the user view the content.) Unfortunately, the video will NEVER be playable because the website was taken down a long time ago.

HyperCD technology absolutely sucks and gives me a good reason NOT to buy anymore CDs.

Let's see, where should I begin...

1. Running HYPERCD.EXE from the main/root directory of the CD installs files to C:\HYPERCD and puts an icon on my desktop without telling me it's doing this, and for no real reason anyway. This is the first instance of my hatred for HyperCD technology. Spyware does this kind of behavior. (I'll let it slide that this menu exe doesn't contain any real content, and is really pointless to have anyway.)

2. "The Itch" music video is located on the CD here: \content\Vc01.hlk. However the "content" directory is set to be hidden by Windows. There's no reason to hide the file like that. People who bought the CD don't have to be treated like pirates, though that's the basic premise for HyperCD technology when used in a manner like this.

3. The HyperCD browser plugin installer is located on the CD here: \SETUP\SETUP.EXE. However, the program runs in an endless loop on my computer. When it starts to run the second time, I quit it.

4. The plugin gets installed for IE (C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\PLUGINS\nphcd32.dll), but not for Mozilla. I had to manually copy/move the plugin to my Mozilla plugins directory. (The installer gives no indication of what the plugin is named or how many files it installs. The HyperCD.com website gave me the file name.)

5. Since I had to manually quit the install program, this of course means that my default browser (Mozilla - which the plugin was not automatically installed to) won't be launched, and I won't be taken to the site through which I can view the video. Thankfully, I found the URL of the website in this file \SETUP\HCDSETUP.INI on the CD. The website is: http://elektra.broadbridge.net/vitamin_c_001/index.html

6. If I try to go to that site, I get a "server not found" error message as that server, much less that page, was taken down long ago. This is why the internet should not be relied upon to provide exclusive content for a physical item. For example, the Jurassic Park DVDs gave you an exclusive "weblink" to online content on the making of the then in-production Jurassic Park 3. Needless to say, that "bonus feature" is non-existent now. Of course, that case is drastically different from this one. In the case of any CD using HyperCD technology, the content actually exists in the CD itself, but is crippled unless viewed from within an online webpage. It's one thing to have a link to content that can't be viewed, it's quite another to have the content itself but not be able to view/hear it.

7. Using the Internet Archive, I was able to get a copy of the files on that page: index.html, all images, and MOST IMPORTANTLY VitaminC_Vc01.hlq (which contains the missing portion of the video file already on the CD itself). Unfortunately, VitaminC_Vc01.hlq is set to *only* work if it's on the original web server (elektra.broadbridge.net). So even having an archived copy on another website or on my own computer won't work (Mozilla reports: "Error in server identifiers(008)").

Thanks to HyperCD technology, it looks like I'm going to be forced to buy the DVD for the movie "Get Over It!" which contains "The Itch" music video as a bonus feature. I shouldn't be forced to buy an additional product, at a cost of $10 more, for something that was advertised as a "bonus feature" of a product I already bought. That is just plain wrong!

By the way, the other content on the Enhanced CD are outdated copies of Java Environment (JRE13I), Netscape 6 (N6SETUP, N6UNINST, SETUP), Real Player 8 (NSRP8), Direct-X 6 (\SETUP\ DXM6PTCH, DXMEDIA), Spinner internet radio service (\SETUP\INSTALL SPINNER FREE), WinAmp music player - with Vitamin C skin (SETUP\INSTALL WINAMP FREE), ICQ Plus 2.05 instant messenger (SETUP\IPLUS205), and AOL 5 (\SETUP\AOL\).


Impressive, mature-sounding sophomore album.   March 18, 2001

Vitamin C has definitely matured from her debut, which sounded more like Pop music. Vitamin C, who looks like and reminds me of Leslie Bibb from the WB TV show, "Popular", has a strong, solid voice on this album and this album makes her true talent shine. My two personal favorites on this album are "The Itch", which is a really catchy, uptempo, fast-beat song and "As Long As You're Loving Me", which is a beautiful, mild-ly slow love ballad. "As Long As You're Loving Me" reminds me of the Backstreet Boys' song, "As Long As You Love Me", from their debut album. Both songs almost have the same title and the lyrics are almost the same, too. Hmmmm....maybe Vitamin C's a fan of the Backstreet Boys! All the other songs on this CD are really great, too. MORE is an impressive album from Vitamin C's last and should be checked out.


Are You Feelin' The Itch?   August 11, 2002

I didn't have the chance to purchase Vitamin C's first CD, but I'm glad I bought her latest release, "More". This album is full of of sexiness and personal messages..

1. The Itch- Her first single off of the CD. I'm sure you've heard this song all over the radio and on TV. When I first heard it on the radio, I didn't know it was her. For people who don't know, the "itch" she's referring to is a feeling that comes over her that she wants back. Sometimes I skip over this song, but that's only because I've heard it a dozen times. 9/10

2. Sex Has Become Between Us- This beat follows the pattern of "The Itch", but has a different message. This song talks about C and her guy friend gettin' a little closer. The only drawback is that this song is short. But still one of my favorites. 10/10

3. That Was Then, This Is Now- Probably one of the most agressive tracks on this album. C talks about her "first time" over a mid-tempo, dark, guitar driven track. This track will grow on you. 9/10

4. Dangerous Girl- My favorite song on this CD. The different style of production will surely catch your ear. C's infatuation with a guy leads her to lose the title of Daddy's Little Girl on this song. Some may find the second chorus cheesy ("..."), but give it a listen and you'll be feeling the same way as me. 10/10

5. She Talks About Love- This song sounds like an 80's meets 70's track. Even the production sounds 70-ish. C sings about a girl "down at the other end of the line" who talks and dreams about love. But unfortunately, nobody listens to her. Most girls will relate to this song. 9/10

6. I Know What Boys Like- EVERY girl can relate to this song. We all know what boys like. It's not a secret. In case you didn't know, C covered this song. This was originally sung by The Waitresses. C did a good job on this one. And the disco part in the middle was brilliant. 8/10

7. Busted- "..." C sings about her cheating boyfriend. The stutter beat to this song will keep your ears open for a while. But the best thing about this song is that C fast-raps throughout this track. Surely worth a listen. 10/10

8. Special- This song gives C some time to shine. She took the time out to write this song (instead of co-writing). And I'm glad she did. C talks about the special things you dream about, talk about, and that may come your way. Anything is possible if you set your mind to it. And that's the message that C sends out on this track. Don't let anybody take your dreams away. 10/10

9. Where's The Party- This is the Gwen Stefani inspired track. This track shows off C's party side. And definitely, this is not filler. The jamming guitar adds a bit of a rock fill, while the chorus sounds like a bar party. 8/10

10. I Can't Say No- Most people, boys and girls, can relate to this song. I have a hard time saying no, like C. She doesn't wanna miss out on the fun, and she does more than just eye the chocolate when it arrives. This song is playful and changes beats toward the end of the song. 10/10

11. Real Life- This techno-inspired track will get alot of good reviews by everybody. Most people can relate to this song because C sings about "real life". Her boyfriend seems stuck in a non-reality world, and she wants to come to terms with him. "..." 10/10

12. As Long As You're Loving Me- C's second single. This is a beautiful love ballad about C telling a guy that at first she was afraid to love him, but now she's over that. As long as he's loving her, she's satisfied. A good album closer. 9/10


Half & half   July 30, 2004

Much like her debut, this album features half good tracks, half bad. "More" took Vitamin C in a new direction a bit. There's quite a bit much electronic vocals on most (all?) of the tracks ("She Talks About Love" being a prime example), which gives it a frozen, contrived feeling that's not nearly as enjoyable as her first..Maybe that's why it didn't quite measure up to it's predecessor's multitude of success?

Unlike the debut, this album does not have its own "Graduation" or "Smile" pop classic - it would have been a good move to include the memorable "Vacation" song that wasn't placed on the debut.

Fortunately, by the end of the album, it finally reaches what seems to be a very sincere track in the endearing, awe-inspiring "As Long As You're Loving Me" which ranks right up with "Graduation." Along the way, the album does have a few gems.

"Sex Has Come Between Us" is a rather unique look on how sex breaks people up, and is the track that follows the album's biggest hit; the sexy dancefloor groover "The Itch." "That Was Then, This Is Now" is an amazing moving on song with a sentimental pop mixed with heavy amounts of attitude as well as a tid bit of country twang, among other things. Excelling in attitude-packed country twang is "Dangerous Girl." "I Know What Boys Like" and "She Talks About Love" are good at first, but eventually headache inducing.

I guess it's a good album, if only for just like 6 tracks.
