(I would have used yours, Anidoug, but you took it staright from mtv.com :) ) It is time for O-town's next album to be in production and be released soon. When a critic says bad things about them though, O-town really wants to know who they are, and if they can prove themselves. They are called manufactured, blended, and packaged. O-town now feels it is time to take a stand and they want to write for the next album, and prove they care about their music. The only question is; will Clive Davis be convinced they can make a hit record?
