Welcome to the Dollhouse

Welcome to the Dollhouse is Danity Kane's second studio album which was released on March 18, 2008 by Bad Boy Records & Atlantic Records.
==Album Background==
For this album, all of the girls had written and/or produced some kind of song, that they thought was suitable for their second effort. 
As mentioned in interviews, Danity Kane has stated that they came up with the name of the album when they all had brought in their own material into the studio to see which tracks would make the cut.
They also expressed that it felt as if they were in a music box, hence getting the name, "Welcome to the Dollhouse." Also, each of the girls were given chances to co-write a handful of the tracks that are on the record.

Danity Kane is the first female group in Billboard history to have both their debut and second albums enter the main charts at number-one.

==Critical Reception==
Stephen Thomas Erlewine from Allmusic said that the group "are the kind of stiff, faceless girl group whose personality can only be discerned by a venue other than the music. Which of course is why they fall through the cracks: fans of the show find it all fascinating but those who don't watch find the music white noise for malls, designed for teens who dream of the day they can sneak into clubs."
Entertainment Weekly gave the album a "C", writing: "As on their self-titled 2006 debut, the group continues to show us precious little in the way of actual personality or soul. On one song after another, they sing about sex with all the feeling of fresh-from-the-factory mannequins."
Slant Magazine called it "is a solid collection of appropriately vacant party jams, slinky come-ons, and modern, urban balladry."
