The track "Wastin' My Time" had originally appeared on the [soundtrack](/source/8_Mile%3A_Music_from_and_Inspired_by_the_Motion_Picture) to the film [8 Mile](/source/8_Mile_(film)), released in 2002. ## Style and themes Taryn and Kellin Manning have been part of the producing and writing of the album, and many of the song lyrics are very personal. ## Critical reception Professional ratings Aggregate scores Source Rating Metacritic 54/100[1] Review scores Source Rating AllMusic [2] Blender [3] E! B−[4] Entertainment Weekly C[5] Q [6] Rolling Stone [7] *Boomkatalog.One* received mixed reviews from [music critics](/source/Music_journalism). On [Metacritic](/source/Metacritic), which assigns a [normalized](/source/Standard_score) rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an [average](/source/Weighted_mean) score of 54, based on 8 reviews.[1] Barry Walters of *[Rolling Stone](/source/Rolling_Stone)* was critical of the duo's talents, saying that Taryn was acting more than singing and Kellin was Americanizing trip hop with unnecessary production tricks, concluding that: "Despite their fakeness, Boomkat fill the smarter-than-your-average-pop void left by fellow film-music switch-hitter [Vitamin C](/source/Vitamin_C_(singer))."[7] DJ Ron Slomowicz of [About.com](/source/About.com) felt that the album was hampered by false advertisement because of the subpar tracks ("Now Understand This" and "Wasting My Time") in the middle portion of the record but still found the rest of it enjoyable, saying that: "[A]t its best, *Boomkatalog* is an energetic fusion of hip-hop and jungle, but at its worst it is a mishmash of wannabe styles."[8] Keith Caulfield of *[Billboard](/source/Billboard_(magazine))* praised the duo's sound for being an amalgam of different genres and Taryn's voice for its resemblance of [Nelly Furtado](/source/Nelly_Furtado), [Macy Gray](/source/Macy_Gray) and [Melanie C](/source/Melanie_C), concluding that: "Adventurous music fans should flock to Boomkat, especially those that thirst for an alternative to the pop norm."[9] Johnny Loftus of [AllMusic](/source/AllMusic) found the processed supporting vocals and the tracks "Wasting My Time" and "What U Do 2 Me" as the album's weak spots but still praised it for Kellin's production work and Taryn's vocal delivery, calling it "a crazy/beautiful mix of irritating and endearing... with the clowning, pointed cynicism of a female [Ad-Rock](/source/Ad-Rock)," saying that: "*Boomkatalog.One* is a clever marriage of technology, creativity, and straight-up sass that gets away with being much more enjoyable than it might deserve."[2] ## Track listing All tracks are written by Kellin Manning and Taryn Manning.
