The Jonas Brothers second album--2007s
Jonas Brothers--proved beyond doubt that the New Jersey trio can get beyond the Disney clichés and write songs of above average calibre.
A Little Bit Longer, the bands third outing, continues their harmonic forays into the teen-rock market, offering an upbeat selection of tunes notable for their catchy hooks, fuzzy guitars and bouncing grooves. Opener "BB Good" sets an energetic pace, kept up via songs like (first single) "Burning Up", the soaring "Tonight" and the sugar-coated punk of "One Man Show". Mellower moments come courtesy of the Jack Johnson-esque "Love Bug" and the title track, a song about Nicks struggle with diabetes.
A Little Bit Longer might not push particularly hard at the creative boundaries, but then no one expected it to. The Jonas Brothers remain the undisputed kings of highly polished, teen-friendly pop rock--until their formula starts to break, they surely dont need to fix it.

CD Description
'A Little Bit Longer' is the third full-length album from the Disney-associated sibling boyband the Jonas Brothers, andcaptures them in typically boyish and buoyant moods. Produced by John Fields (who has worked with the likes of Delta Goodrem, Jimmy Eat World and the Backstreet Boys), this release is full of soft-rock anthems, including the popular singles 'Burnin' Up' and 'Lovebug'. Elsewhere, they tackle weightier issues - the title track refers to Nick Jonas' struggle with diabetes. With the band's appearance in Disney's 'Camp Rock' movie, the release of 'A Little Bit Longer' sees them in international ascendancy.
