    I love Hanson! I've loved them since they first came out! My friends just recently took me to see their concert in Washington DC and they kicked ass!

    Much of This Time Around feels like a conscious attempt at furthering their craft, defining their sound, and honing their songwriting skills. In other words, it's a stab at maturity.
