This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
Personnel: Kelly Osbourne (vocals); Alephonsine DeChambure (spoken vocals); Linda Perry (various instruments, programming); Marc Jameson (drum programming).
Kelly Osbourne's debut, Shut Up -- later retitled Changes upon its 2003 reissue -- arrived in 2002 in the thick of punk-pop's popularity in the early 2000s and it reflected the sound of the times. Three years later, Osbourne returned with her follow-up, Sleeping in the Nothing, and it sounded nothing like Shut Up/Changes, but like that debut, it reflected its times: it spurned punk revival for new wave revival. So, as the pop culture of the new millennium lives a quarter century in the past, Osbourne rides the wave, drafting L.A.'s favorite collaborator of the last five years, Ms. Linda Perry -- who struck it big with Pink, Xtina Aguilera, and Gwen Stefani, not so big with Courtney Love, Lisa Marie Presley, and Fischerspooner -- as writer, producer, chief collaborator, and overall musical director. Kelly and Perry pull out all the stops on Sleeping in the Nothing, stopping at nothing to re-create the robotic pulse and computer gloss of the early '80s. Perry plays and programs nearly every note on the album herself, piling on layers of echoed guitars and cold synths over drum machine loops. Apart from the slick, seamless Pro Tools production, there's not much here that makes it sound modern, even if it does sound contemporary in its '80s fetishization, and while that's admirable, even fun, at first, as the record reaches its midway point it starts to bog down because it succeeds in its re-creation of Reagan-era pop just a little bit too well. It has a handful of glitzy, catchy singles in "One Word," "Redlight," and "Suburbia," but they're surrounded by songs that first skate by on their surface sheen, but start to seem awkward, clumsy, and repetitive. Worst of all, the album no longer sounds like a sexy new romantic tribute, it starts sounding like the lumbering mainstream pop that tried to adapt new wave production techniques -- in other words, the anti-date rape anthem "Don't Touch Me While I'm Sleeping" sounds disarmingly like Kenny Loggins' "Danger Zone," and it's not the only cut here to have the sterile, bombastic sound of the mid-'80s. While this kind of electronic overkill is a logical end result of a conscious aping of '80s records -- if you try so hard to re-create a sound, you're almost bound to fall into the same traps as your predecessors -- it's kind of shocking to hear the de-evolution of a retro craze within the course of one record. But that's what makes Sleeping in the Nothing a more interesting record than Kelly's first album and more interesting than a lot of the retro-'80s cluttering the pop culture landscape in 2005 -- it may be flawed, but it's a microcosm of the new wave revival, in all of its glories and absurdities. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
A quick look at photo of Kelly Osbourne adorning the back cover of SLEEPING IN THE NOTHING will undoubtedly draw its share of double takes. The sneering, fuchsia-topped faux-punk look Osbourne was best known for is replaced by a sleeker, more sophisticated gun-metal-black bob complete with designer duds. Her music underwent an equally radical transformation. The aggressive pop-punk of her 2002 debut SHUT UP is displaced by Human League-like synth-driven dance music on SLEEPING. Credit producer Linda Perry, who pushed Osbourne to write about recent personal tribulations and hone her vocal phrasing. The strident vocal style endemic to the Osbourne's more aggressive prior output has been replaced by a smoother croon that brings to mind Berlin's Terri Nunn. As a result, songs touching on the singer's pre-rehab struggles ("Save Me") and familial strains ("One Word") are adorned by synth swooshes and echoey guitar tones that conjure up images of The Pet Shop Boys and the Psychedelic Furs.

5 stars The Coolest Album Ever!
I have listened to this CD for about 8 hours a day, so I know it rocks. I mean if you're into the 80's electric pop type of music, then you have got to get this CD. And even if you're not, you should listen to the sound clips anyway. I never really liked the kind of music kelly made, but as soon as I heard "Sleeping in the Nothing", I had to go out and buy it! I now have two of her singles, the origional album, and an import all the way from England, or someplace like that.

5 stars Great CD by Daughter of Ozzy!
This is Kelly's 2nd album and it is great. It has a very 80's Alterna/Pop Sound. The first single "One Word" was ignored by MTV & Radio. However, it was burning up in the clubs where it hit #1 on Billboard's Dance Chart. The cd is produced by Linda Perry (P!nk Fmae). Some of the stand out tracks are Red Light and Don't Touch Me While I'm Sleeping. This album deals with alot of issues facing todays youth. It also includes a dance remix of "One Word". If you haven't heard this cd, I would highly recomend it.
