This is the record that gave us "Don't Cha," "Buttons," "Stickwitu," and "Beep," and turned a burlesque troupe into a global chart machine. We break down the production, the Nicole vs. the rest of the group tension baked into the album, the ballad detours, and the deep cuts nobody talks about anymore. Every song gets our unfiltered opinion and a Cut or Keep verdict, no skips.
Twenty years later, with Nicole, Kimberly, and Ashley back on the road, does "PCD" actually hold up?
