    Even if it stands to be one of the year's biggest sellers (which it most assuredly will be), Longer is hard to envision as an album that will allow the Jonas Brothers to transcend their place in this teen-pop cycle.
  2. Village Voice

    Too many of these songs get bogged down in chord changes and lyrics likely to sound worn-out even to a 10-year-old.

    If youre 14 and shake your Tic Tacs to it, then cool.

The Jonas Brothers, as a boy band "created" by Disney, have grown up very fast and with this cd they reach unbelievable things. Music is good, lirycs too and they still have that "sex appeal" that just make teens buy their music.… Full Review »

    Im pretty sure The reviewers that gave them scores in the green are runned by smart intelectual men, and not little girls. Anyone who dislikesIm pretty sure The reviewers that gave them scores in the green are runned by smart intelectual men, and not little girls. Anyone who dislikes the Jonas Brothers are quite bias. A band with average songs. Sos and Burnin up are one of Jb's worst songs, ironically they are the most famous of the jbs. but that is not the Jonas Brothers I know, Video girl "ranked 49th best song of 2008" great song. "shelf" a song quite reminiscent to "hey Jude" by the beatles. "tonight" is also a good song. People just judge them based of listening to 2-3 songs. This album is quite good.… Full Review »

    If Selena J. is allowed to discuss the Jonas' dongs, then I'm discussing the Pussycat Dolls' titties... Is that kosher? If Selena J. is allowed to discuss the Jonas' dongs, then I'm discussing the Pussycat Dolls' titties... Is that kosher? Seriously.... If you're into something inorganic like this and you're eating it up despite the soul-sapping. time-wasting scam it is - I pity you. I find myself saying that a lot these days - wonder why. Alternatively, when you discover a true musical work of art that moves you one day when you are mature enough to relate to it, it will be positively orgasmic in comparison.... BUT, the problem is, when you start with Jonas... sometimes you don't make it that far. Poor America, the land that gives awards to Pink for being a "rock" star (lol!!!!! hahahaha) and thinks she has cred for hassling the likes of Paris, Simpson and co, that she is no better than. You're not still a rock star Pink, b/c you never were one, you're a funny looking troll without your three tonnes of make-up and your bitter messages of revenge and ignorance in the face of the loss of love promote the kind of arrogant self-delusion Pink dares to hypocritically expose in the 'op' princesses, that she actually is one of. Rock is fierce, uncompromising and uncompromised. You are a bitch with a soap box, much like the Jonas Brothers are just three manipulated and manipulating boys who have landed a ticket to nail underage girls. Again, I pity you.… Full Review »
