So when I first saw this CD I was kinda of disappointed that it was short than the first. But since I have been able to listent o it I am very happy. Their quailty of music has really increased and you can tell. Especially Alex's quailty.
If you read towards the end of my review I will talk about each song, but firsat I want to say I was also disappointed when I found in CD recording Nat and Alex said in an interview the other band members don't lay down the tracks they have thewr musicians do that but Nat and Alex play their instruments. Although they did say they are playing in live preformaces and on the show. That sounded odd to me. So I cant wait to read the fine print on this cd as I only have the electronic download right now.
Anyway like i said the quailty of the songs were much better, although I didnt enjoy any of them as much as the other cd their are many more I like. Simply put its a great cd now for the track run down.
1. I Don't Want To Go To School - This is the single they released, how I can see if I was Younger I may enjoy this song i really don't its rather catchy but I will say 3/5
2. Eventually This song is one thats a little deeper but it just isn't catchy like their other songs it is keep of a uplifting song talking about the sun, ("The sun will find us eventually") also 3/5
3. Mystery Girl Another premiere song of theirs, it gets back to their catchy nature and is toe tapping love song. "I never believed in love at first but I was wrong" 4/5
4. I'll Do Anything This song is certainly not tradionally for them it is very queit and heart felt. The lyrics are very touching but it doesnt grab my attention. ("I'll do anything for you") 3n1/2/5
5. I've Got a Question is another touching song that just doesn't catch me. While none of their songs are bad its just not up to my listening. "I've got a question for you, do you love me, ya!"
6. Body I Occupy This song is very catchy it appears in the background of one of their interviews and in their tv concert special. It is quite catchy and enjoyable a true NBB song
7. Why This song is by Alex and is one of those touching songs of there's and I just havent been liking them this album. "Why did you do it" 3n1/2 / 5
8. Proof of My Love This song appeared in one of their less populkar episodes "The Talk Show" it is catchy paino tune that rhymes "I know you think I'm wrong but I wrote you this song" 4/5
9. If You Can Make It Through the Rain Oh boy another really catchy song and very happy song "Will see what happens to you and me" 4/5
10. Three is Enough A song by Alex Wolff where nat plays the drums and he does some amazing dance moves. Extremely catchy 4/5
11. Everybody's Cried At Least Once This song was in last weeks episode and is very sad but touching I love it. "Everyody's cried atleast once, everybody's laughed atleastt twice" 4/5
12. Great Trip This song is really stuck in my head and is really catchy its about a trip to the water park and has some funny lines.
the last 3 tracks are found in the encahnced edition which I reccomend cause they are 2 more great songs WORTH IT
here is the link
13. Tall Girls, Short Girls... You - Great song my nat talking about differnet people then you. "Then there's you" 4/5
14. Changing [*] Another song by Alex very touching loving caring about his dad and changes. appeared in epsiode "uncle miles"
15. [CD-Rom Track] - Will update when IO receieve my hard copy. was not included in download
Overall I really reccomned this CD and if you can spring for the each 4 dollars get the enchanced version. I also suggest getting the season when it comes out on DVD
Enjoy
There really isn't a thing wrong with this cd. The Naked Brothers Band's music is really easy to dance to, and before you say, "I hate it," give it a chance. I assure you, you'll change you're mind.
We immediately had to put this in the CD player for my 5 yr old niece. She loves the naked brothers band and this was a cool way to give her a great gift without spending alot of cash. She loved it!
This album is a shame. One reviewer put it that this album represents a pure and honest look at music. I disagree strongly! In our society, we discourage our kids to look at real emotion. THis is becuase we are too afraid to have to deal with real emotion so we tel them to start to listen to little kids sing about not wanting to go to school. I would instead encourage parrents to buy their children an album from bands like U2, Matchbox 20, Jewel just came out with a fine album. Lets not keep our children locked in a world where true important things don't reach their ears. Lets give them music where people do really express themselves in a pure and honest way.
I would be so proud if these boys were mine! They are precious, and their music is heart-felt. I hope they will continue to be true to themselves and they will go far in this world where we need good, pure and honest songs. My children also love Nat and Alex. You rock, boys!
