SELENA GOMEZ & THE SCENE - "When the Sun Goes Down" (ALBUM REVIEW)

When Selena Gomez announced that she will be in a band, I thought it would some gimmick that she adopted in order to be different from her other Disney music peers Miley Cyrus and former-BFF (but still friends) Demi Lovato, and thus predicted that it will not do well. But with her 2009 debut album Kiss & Tell, released under her band name Selena Gomez & the Scene, I totally underestimated what I originally thought was a cheesy idea, thanks to a little electropop ditty (and eventual mega-hit) called "Naturally". The band followed up in 2010 with their sophomore effort A Year Without Rain, which, in my opinion, fared better than Kiss & Tell with hits such as "Round & Round". And with this year's When the Sun Goes Down, released a few days ago, I feel that the Scene is rocking at its best.
