    A bad and cringeworthy album. The only decent track is Sucker. A lot of tracks sound familiar(e.g. Love Her sounds almost the same as Love Yourself by Justin Bieber). Only Human, Every Single Time and Happy When I'm sad are so awkward. The lyrics are meaningless most of the time. The production is boring. Nick and Joe's voice are decent mostly though.
    Also the band so be called "Nick and    A bad and cringeworthy album. The only decent track is Sucker.

    Also the band so be called "Nick and Joe Jonas" instead. Wth did Kevin Jonas do???
    Also the cover art is just trash.
    And STOP referencing Game Of Thrones just because your wife plays a role.    … Expand

    Happiness Begins is by no means an extraordinary album, but it’s a respectable showing from a group that has long deserved more respect than they’ve received.

    Despite not being the most innovative pop record in 2019. ... Happiness Begins is the best effort the brothers have put forth in their career together or separately.

    Happiness Begins feels immediate in way so many big pop albums of the twilight of the 2010s do not, but individual tracks are crafted to slide onto as many cross-genre play lists as possible.
