@Maura: For once, I agree with a troll (except for the music is dead part).

Jonas brothers? Being taken seriously?

Music is dead.

Well, at least they are talking to them like (little, they always have to mention their various littlenesses) writers who will likely make more albums. I haven’t had the chance to listen to the album properly yet. There is MUCH fun in it but it IS a little disjointed as a song collection, but credit for not just handing out a plate of more of the same (though I loved the same).

My immediate reaction to all of their post-Columbia albums is always, “Yeesh, tone it down a hair, John Fields”…the production, to me, doesn’t do justice to what they bring to the songs in their live performances. On the more eightiesesque songs, I think it works well enough but my live Walmart/deodorant version of “Turn Right” beats the one on the record.

Joe sounds so great when Nick steps out from in front of him and I’d wager the same might hold true in their collective writing. Nick’s impressive but he is only 16 and he lacks all that attractive pathos and uncertainty.

In the end though…I srsly love them.

Also, LOL@”Sandinista”.

From reading reviews, which all seem to mention the song with the rapping and the siren and the gangsta-topic, and without listening to this album, I have decided that this is the Jonas Brothers’ Sandinista.
