4.0 out of 5 stars As someone who isn't remotely in this band's target group, I was very pleasantly surprised, August 28, 2007

This review is from: Jonas Brothers (Audio CD)

Two weeks ago, I noticed that an album from a group I'd never heard of debuted at #5 on Billboard's Hot 200 chart. (I'm finding this happening more and more these days - in Chicago, virtually all that any radio station will play is hip-hop or rap, and I just don't relate.) When something like this happens, I usually do a little background check, just to see who the group or artist is so that I can pretend to be the person I always said I would be 25 years ago: I wouldn't be like my parents; I'd grow with Music as Music itself grew, and would always stay with the current trends. Well, that didn't work quite the way I planned.

I digress.

I looked these guys up, and immediately noticed their "resemblance" to Hanson. Kind of hard not to notice that. As Hanson somewhat recently released a *fantastic* album (Underneath), I thought I'd listen to a few clips from the songs on the Jonas Brothers CD here on Amazon and see what comparisons could be made. I was expecting an interesting and singularly intellectual comparison; what I wasn't expecting was that I would actually like what I heard.

I *really* liked what I heard, so I bought the CD and during my first listen was surprised that I wasn't turned off. I had assumed that I heard their best in those short clips, and would regret spending my money on whole CD. Then I heard the first few chords of Year 3000, and I really took notice. That song hooked me from the second it started to play. I loved it. When I looked up the lyrics, I couldn't help but laugh a bit. They don't make a lot of sense (if any), but it must have been a lot of fun to write.

Going through the CD a second and third time, other songs stuck out, and I realized that this was actually something very special. I don't know who's handling these three guys, but the production values and engineering on the CD is superb.

Songs that have stuck out for me as very, very good are:
- S.O.S.
- Hold On
- That's Just the Way We Roll
- Hello Beautiful
- Still in Love with You
- Year 3000
- Kids of the Future

With the state of music as it is today, I don't know if they'll see the kind of success that I think they deserve. I think that if this had hit the radio in the 80s or 90s, it would have been a HUGE success. We'll see.

About one song: Kids of the Future. That's from the "Meet the Robinsons" soundtrack, and is a rewritten version of Kim Wilde's Kids in America, which was very successful for her in the 80s. It's been covered many, many times, but the Jonas Brothers do it justice.

I hope that their debut CD is re-released. I'd buy it. (And I'm not the target group...so...)

4.0 out of 5 stars A+ for Jonas Bros, December 23, 2007

As a young adult, I listen to a lot of different types of music and I do admit to watching items here and there on Disney Channel. One thing I have gotten from watching that channel is learning about the Jonas Brothers. This CD contains many of the songs plus some that have been shown on the Disney Channel. I highly recommend this CD to anyone, young or old, who likes energic music to get them through the day. The Jonas Brothers' CD does exactly that!

This was a long awaited CD for my kids (13 and 10. It has 4 major DISNEY hirs - SOS, Hold On, Year 3000 and Kids of the Future (a remake of Kids in America). Overall good clean fun.)
