Summary: New Jersey's Bee Jays
Comment: I say "New Jersey's Bee Jays" because brothers Nicholas,Kevin and Joseph Jonas hail from New Jersey(I wish I knew exactly where,curiously because I'm a New Jersey native myself). This trio,I would say,is Hanson and the Bee Gees both in one. I always have been a Hanson and Bee Gees fan. As for the "Bee Jays",I once said that about the Jackson 5/Jacksons. A decade ago,Hanson was the biggest-selling artist in pop/rock music history and today the Jonases are in that place. Pre-teen and teenage girls went wild over Hanson and those now-20ish young women,I'm sure are fans of the Jonases as well. Needless to say,two decades ago,the King Of Pop Michael Jackson,a veteran of the Jackson 5/Jacksons,was the biggest-selling artist in pop/rock music. I recently heard some of the Jonases' recordings on the You Tube website and they're pretty awesome! I'm a 37-year-old male who has always loved rock music and the Jonases rock as do Hanson and the Bee Gees! This album,I'm sure was at least a Grammy-nominee.

Comment: Someone please bring back 1999 and 2000 when the Backstreet Boys and Nsync reigned the pop charts and this squeaky mess of a band didn't. :-P

Summary: This band is different! Honest! They're the next big thing! Buy it!!!
Comment: Which is more or less the line from the usual trend [...] sources. What I heard here is the standards of modern music being pushed further down into the ground and recieving another brutal beating. The Jonas Brothers suck, alright. But that's not the real issue. The issue is what are we going to do about the crappy record companies that market this UTTERLY DERIVATIVE effort which has as much difference from Hannah Montanna as Kylie Minogue varied from Jason Donavon back in those days? Ignorant teeny boppers and their dumb, brain addled soccer mom folks. I quite naively continue to believe that there's a point at which the stupidity is too blatant for people to accept.

Summary: Jo Bros Make Fun and Upbeat Music
Comment: I have recently become a fan of this band. This album is a step up from their debut "It's About Time," with funkier, more complex songs. Hit songs "SOS," and "When you Look me in the Eyes," drive the album, while tracks such as "Goodnight and Goodbye," and "Hello Beautiful," trace te bands evolution from rock to soul. There is something for everyone on this album. The reason for four stars is that compared to their new album "A Little Bit Longer," "Jonas Brothers," falls short of the emotion portrayed in songs such as "A Little Bit Longer," "Sorry," and "Can't Have you." However, this album is better than most of their peers including Miley Cyrus. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

Summary: These brothers got potential
Comment: I first previewed these guys cd and didnt like what i was hearing, despite not hearing the songs in full. So i was dissapointed, i thought the cd cover looked kinda cool, but that was about it. I called these guys F-a-g-s, i think and didnt pay anymore attention since.
Then i heard a song on the radio, it was called "Play My Music", that song really hit me and actually spoke to me, the lyrics were good and i loved the sound and it ended up being the Jonas Brothers did the song (its from a movie soundtrack called CampRock)
Anyways...that song really impressed me, and made me wanna reconsider the Jonas Brothers and actually take time listening to their music. So i downloaded their self titled album and i ended up likeing quite a few songs on it.
Im not going to get into too deep, but ill tell you which songs that stood out to me, that i think are the best ones.
Hold On
Goodnight And Goodbye
Thats Just The Way We Roll
Australia
Inseperable
Hollywood
Those are the ones i like the most i think. Those arent the only decent songs, but those are the ones i like to put on more than the others.
I like the cd for what it is, but these guys still got a lot of growing to do. The talent and potential is there i think. They just have to mature in their sound, and they will.
I think this is a small preview of whats to come, becouse some of the songs really make you wanna sing a long and have are somewhat memorable. But they are kinda still childish in some ways and a bit simplistic, but what can we expect from a band that got its debut and fame from tagging along with Hannah Montana/ Miley Cyrus on tour? Nothing high art, but surprisingly i saw some real potential as a great future pop rock group.
Dont let the 3 star rating fool you. I do like this band, but i think they got a lot better music in them coming in the not so distant future.
All in all, this is easy to listen to pop thats good clean fun.
Im expecting awesome things from this band.
