5.0 out of 5 stars
The best Disney album ever released. , 23 Oct 2007
After their debut album, IT'S ABOUT TIME (2006), which was a commercial failure overall, the three brothers, JOE, KEVIN and NICK released their second effort, the much improved self-titled effort. JONAS BROTHERS (2007) covers a wide range of styles and musical tastes, and is suitable for anyone - and any ages! - to listen to. Filled with mostly umtempo rock-tinged pop numbers and calming and beautiful ballads, the album is a must-have for all Disney fans. Overall, if you enjoyed their first effort, I'd strongly suggest you buy this if you haven't already! If you're a big fan of Disney and do not yet know who these guys are, then best you get checkin' them out!

The album begins extremely well, starting off with number one US iTunes hit (the only Disney song of two - the other being Cast of High School Musical's "Breaking Free," to achieve this) "SOS," and then continues strongly with first single (SOS was the second) "Hold On," A great song about breaking up. The album follows through with "Goodnight and Goodbye," a somewhat agressive, feisty number, before the amazing "That's Just The Way We Roll." My possible favourite Jonas Brothers song ever, here the guys diss all the haters, exclaiming: "We are more than you think so call us freaks, but That's Just The Way We Roll." Damn right! Track five, "Hello Beautiful," is very Plain White T's "Hey There Delilah"-ish, and although not as great, still a lovely ballad where the vocals shine through. The next three tracks, "Still In Love With You," "Australia" and "Games" see the Brothers going back to their agressive routes, while "When You Look Me In The Eyes" is a big soppy ballad that is probably one of my favourites on the album, despite me not being a fan of pop-rock groups who tackle ballads. In "Inseperable" and "Just Friends," the Brothers sing about how about they cannot separate with their partners in the former, and in the latter about how the have a crush on a girl. Although I'm a big fan of McFly, Busted and Son of Dork, and these two tracks are VERY McFly, Busted and Son of Dork, the latter isn't one of my favourites, but the former has grown massively. Speaking of which, neither is follow-up "Hollywood," although I do love the song. The album continues with their rendition of Busted's UK hit "Year 3000," and it really is quite weird hearing an American group perform a British group's song! They cleverly change "Triple breasted women swim around town, totally naked!" to "Girls there with round hair like Star Wars, float above the floor!" to make it suitable for younger kids, and also change "It had outsold Michael Jackson" to "It has outsold Kelly Clarkson." Although no-one can beat the original version of Busted, Jonas Brothers did an amazing job! The closing track, clearly a tribute to Kim Wilde's "Kids in America," is a fast, fun and flying closing track! I love this album, and I believe that you should too. ;)
