Album Review: Jonas Brothers – ‘It’s About Time’
By Patrick Luce Aug 11, 2006, 15:40 GMT
"Music on Red Bull!" Without hesitating, that\'s how 17-year-old Kevin Jonas describes the hyper-adrenalized sounds he\'s created with his two brothers, 13-year-old Nicholas and 16-year-old Joseph, on the Jonas Brothers\' debut album, ‘It\'s About Time.’ ...more
Jonas Brothers’ debut album ‘It’s About Time’ is filled with songs that the young band members and their audience can relate with, but will be lost on anyone that is out of their teen years.
Signed to Columbia Records in 2005, the New Jersey group is composed of three brothers: Joseph(16), Kevin (17), and Nicholas (13). The album’s first single “Mandy” has already made its way to the #4 spot on MTV’s coveted TRL show, and their music has been featured in the kid friendly Nickelodeon TV movie Zoey 101: Spring Break-Up.
They are too rocking to be considered Hanson clones, but the comparison will be made since most of the album’s tracks revolve around school, teenage love, and growing pains. However, the band knows how to fill an album with radio friendly pop rock tunes that are driven with upbeat drums and lots of guitar.
The album kicks off with three fast pop rock tracks “What I Go To School For,” “Time For Me To Fly,” and “Year 3000.” The tunes quickly set the theme and pace for most of the album. “What I Go To School For” tells about teenage love; “Time For Me To Fly” tells about starting to chase down dreams; and “Year 3000” sees hopes for the future.
“6 Minutes” continues the theme of chasing down the perfect girl that is just out of reach; “Mandy” (which heavy guitar riffs seem to come close to punk but not quite) sees the guy getting the perfect girl despite his faults; and “I Am What I am” sees some attitude from the young band.
“One Day At A Time,” “You Just Don’t Know It,” and “Please Be Mine” show the band’s softer side with ballads that are sure to be radio hits – even if some of the lyrics may seem a little cheesy to older audiences.
‘It’s About Time’ is a strong debut for Jonas Brothers, and will no doubt capture young fans. The CD fell a little flat on me, but I am not the group’s target audience. I would recommend it to anyone who likes light guitar pop rock with clever hooks. However, if you are over the age of 18, you might want to give this album a pass.
‘It’s About Time’ is now available at Amazon. Visit the music database for more information and a complete track listing.

helloooooo! my name is lindsey...and well i am madly in love with nick jonas. i think i have found someone that is hotter or equal to zac efron lol
What can I say about the jonas brothers that they haven't already heard?
I think they are very talented and know how to put on a preformance and sell their cds. They have good taste in style and don't boast about every little accomplishment they have achieved though what they have achieved is amazing. Each individual of the group has their own unique qualities about them that they bring to the table and they work as a group instead of one person in the middle always while the others stay in the backround like most bands do. As for absoulutely adoring them like most do I can only say that I am totally in love with Kevin's guitar. Other than that I would like to be friends with them because they seem nice and fun to be around. If they ever do get to read this message I would like to tell them to come to Savannah, Ga because they seriously have dieheart fans.

omg i love the jonas brothers! rock on guys.
Omgosh i love Joe soooo freakin much!!!!!!i have their phone number too bad u guys can't talk to them!!!!!!really,i talked to Joe for seriously 2 hours!!!!!I'm not even kidding!!!i swear!!!!!!yay!!!!i am sooo happy!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) yay!!!!*sigh*i love Joe
Yea I love joe. (joesph)Hes so hot even though i'm thirteen and i also love nick and kevine!ok i love all of them omg there so hot!!!!!!!
you guys are all obssessed with them. Im in love with them too, but I can probably guess they are going to read this. aha. anyway, yea, i get it, they are all hot, but you gotta get it. every girl says that! Im sure they are used to it by now, but if your all over them, when and if you meet them they'll be all like 'yee, sup' if you act normal, its all good. aha. but i agree with all the Nick lovers out there. hes cute, he sounds AMAZING in the song Hold On and also in the song SOS (which he wrote). But anyway's , talk to you all later. Have fun obssessing! aha!
P.S yee ok..so i like Nick too...its because hes sweet... ^_^

I love Nick Jonas
Pero estaré ahí para siempre
Tu veras que es mejor
Nuestras esperanzas y sueños se harán realidad
No te decepcionare
Estaré justo ahí hasta el final
El final del tiempo
Por favor se mío.
But I'll be there forever
You will see that it's better
Our hopes and our dreams will come true
I will not disappoint you
I'll be right there for you 'til the end
The end of time
Please be mine
I love this song. The jonas brothers is not alone pretty boys (very pretty haha) but also they have feelings and many songs written by them are very pretty, as S.O.S that but I am wrong it was wrote by Nick.
I love his music! My favorite song is Hold On ecxelentes although all are, I love the voice of Joe and admire the fame they have achieved in such a short tiempo.Espero to see them back on Argentina exposing all their creativity, congratulations
the Jonas brothers are bunch of 'quick money for the industry' consumer fags. there just new age Hanson of Backstreet Girl clones.. they won't go far, especially since they made their 'mark' through Disney.. lame, lame, lame. cheeeeeesy. and lame. also there 'music' (which they don't even write) is terrible. its not even music. its crap. you're all a bunch of slaves and you don't even know it. its so pathetic...
son re capas a mi amiga le encanta las canciones de ustedes a mi tambien .... bueno espero que algun dia venga a buenos aires (argentina)... besos adios
