5.0 out of 5 stars Young, November 24, 1999

Most of the songs are slower, but some of them (i.e. the 'Isaac Ballads'- as many fans like to call them) are supposed to be because they won't ever have the same effect otherwise. Admittedly, "MMMBop" sounds kinda weird after 'Middle of Nowhere'. My warped sense of humour finds "Pictures" funny, even though I don't think it was written to make me laugh - it just does. It's really great to hear what they used to sound like and when you do the math, Taylor was eleven/twelve at the time of these recordings (actually, no math, it was recorded in 1995 and I'm born in the same year as Taylor). When you think about that it just goes to show how passionate these guys have been about music all their lives, and you can hear the passion in their voices.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great CD for someone so young, February 4, 1999

It is trully amazing to think that kids ages (about)15, 13 and 10 could have written and recorded this great music. Hanson really have talent and people who don't appreciate Hanson's talent should not be listening to their music in the first place and then dissing them. No offence, but people should try to remember how "talented" they were at those ages and how many of them wrote songs and sang since they were 6 years old, if not younger,(It's obvious that most people who diss Hanson are adults). Give those wonderful guys a break. When they did this CD, they were very young and rather inexperienced, you can say, and didn't have a lot of money for all the things that would make the CD sound a little better (quality-of-sound-wise). The most importan thing is that they did it at all, and did a great job. This CD was released as kind of a gift to the fans, so if you don't like Hanson, then don't buy it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Even guys can like Hanson!, November 1, 1998

I admit it. I am a 21-year-old male who likes Hanson's music. There's no shame in that, either! This album, while not as good as either Middle of Nowhere or Snowed In, shows that this group is no prefabricated pop group like the Spice Girls or the Backstreet Boys. They have real talent and just needed the support to focus it. The songs aren't as memorable as those from their first album, and the vocals aren't the greatest (due to some cheap studio time, I'm guessing), but the early versions of "MMMBop," "Thinking of You," and "With You in Your Dreams" are fantastic. This is an album for completists, not for someone who hasn't acquired a taste for Hanson's music.
