#50
So jumping straight into 50th, we have the Jonas Brothers comeback album. I’ll be honest straight off the bat, this was a reunion I didn’t have many hopes for. I never vibed with their original endeavour, and I felt Joe and Nick (and, well Kevin?) had both gone on to
much better sounds with their solo projects. But, I was shocked to say the least when I heard Sucker and it was just a sound that worked. It was modern, it was catchy, it just sounded good. And upon hearing Cool, it marked the point where I decided I was going to give this reunion a chance.
It’s an album that impresses with its singles, from those I’ve mentioned, but falls flat on some of its album exclusives. Don’t Throw It Away, Happy When I’m Sad, Hesitate and Rollercoaster have really nice sounds, they’re a good bop every now and then. Whilst I enjoy most of the songs on this album whilst I’m listening through, there’s nothing particularly memorable here. I mean, I’ve been listening to it whilst setting up this thread to refresh myself, and I remember only half of the 14 song album which isn’t an impressive statistic.
But it earns a spot on my ranking because there’s nothing offensive here and everything’s fairly pleasant listening.
