This Time Around...

"If you don't like Hanson, and perhaps you are still dreading another 'Mmmbop', fear not. These guys are back, and in a time were the BSB and NSync reign, these guys are ready to show them whose boss. With a guitar charged chorus, smooth piano intro, and out-standing and profound lyrics "This Time Around" should be come one of the defining songs for Hanson's career. You can tell by listening to "This Time Around" the boys have taken their long break, and learned all they could. "Love Song", also on the new album due out May 9th, is sweet and solid with luring instrumentation that wraps you up and floats you away. I predict a long and steady future for these three multi-talented guys. :o)"

This is Hanson?

"close your eyes and open your ears AND mind. Imagine for a moment that this is NOT the teen trio that sang MMM BOP. The song is definetly a pop tune but it's edgier than the Hanson of yesterday. I got this song for my daughter....she's into those BOY BANDS....but it is me , who goes around singing this tune all day. I can't get it out of my head. It is well written lyrically, but the composition is the thing that gets you hooked. What great talent these kids...yes, they ARE kids...have. If the CD is as good as this first single, I guess I'm going to have to change my tune, so to speak. The song is worth a try, even if you didn't like them the first time around."

A better take on music

"This Time Around (the song, not the albium) is not about what music today seems to be about (ie- touch me here, touch me there; oh baby oh baby; yeah [read that like the girl from "ten thing i hate about you: really bland and dry]) The first verse, is actually about war. (listen to me carefully now-->) This song has a very inspirational message behind it, infact it really reminds me of the story behind "Hero" by Mariah Carey-- although it sounds nothing like it. If you like REAL music (ie-- real instruments and real musicians on a track) you'll love This Time Around. Take Hanson for what they are: musicians. Nothing More, nothing less. This Time Around proves that with an "in your face" attitude."
