Jonas Brothers - The Album

The sixth studio album from the Jonas Brothers trio is rather presumptuously titled ‘The Album’ - which perhaps rather devalues the previous five! ‘The Album’ opens promisingly with ‘Miracle’, a track driven by wah-wah guitar and finger-popping funk beats. “Jersey” yells Joe Jonas during this number - presumably to underline the three brothers' small-town roots in the Garden State. ‘Waffle House’ sees them recommending a trip to a favourite breakfast joint as a remedy for sibling squabbles. The influence of various cultural icons is apparent throughout the new record. ‘Montana Sky’ features sun-kissed 1970s-style pop reminiscent of The Eagles, ‘Americana’ name-checks Bruce Springsteen, Jay-Z and James Dean. ‘Wings’ isn't intended as a reference to Paul McCartney's band but there are striking musical similarities - and the closing track, ‘Walls’ is a big ballad that will be popular on tour..... and it clearly owes something to Oasis. “The Album” is professionally produced (by Jon Bellion) and well performed - but it lacks a little in originality - and soul!
