The Jonas Bros ~ The Jonas Bros:
Stunningly original album title aside, I was all prepared to hate the Jonas Bros if only for the fact that they may well be the new Hanson and covered Busted songs. Then I realised I didn’t really care about Busted that much so perhaps it was ok to listen to them, after them being rammed down my throat on radio Disney in florida. So I accidentally (read: secretly) purchased their sophomore album and accidentally (read: secret shame publically revealed) like it. It’s not particularly a work of art, but it’s quite enjoyable in a generic, throwaway sort of way. It’s basically a collection of kid-friendly radio rockers that aren’t offensive or hard work in anyway. There are also some quite sweet ballads in there, and thrown in for good measure are Year 3000 and the truly awful Kids of the Future (they couldn’t cover Electric Youth??). So judge all you want, but check out Goodnight and Goodbye and try not to be taping your little pudgy feet...
