Produced by John Fields (with Jon Lind and Kevin Jonas, Sr., serving as executive producers), "A
Little
Bit
Longer
" covers much musical and emotional ground, kicking off with the joyful jam "BB Good." Says Joe of the track, "It's a big sing-along song, and it's fun." The funky and danceable debut single, "Burnin' Up," keeps the party going, with Big Rob, the brothers' hefty security guard, rapping midtrack. "It's about this girl," adds Joe. "Maybe she's at a party, and you feel that immediate connection. You both know it's there." Though relentlessly upbeat, most songs on "A Little Bit Longer" explore star-crossed standoffs and missed romantic opportunities. Songs like "Shelf," the hard-rocking "Pushin' Me Away" and "One Man Show" survey love's unequal playing field, bad break-ups and the defiant isolation that follows. "'Shelf' is one my favorite songs on the record," says Nick. "Basically, it's about a girl that has a gallery of hearts." Other songs take a light-hearted look at the craziness of fame and fortune. "Video Girl" paints a portrait of the shallow wannabees dotting the entertainment landscape (" Move to L.A., got no talent/Not even like you won a Miss Teen pageant"), while "Lovebug" starts out as sweet-tempered acoustic love song before ending up a crashing Queen-like rocker. Of course, the brothers made sure the album breathes. The power ballad "Sorry" features classic JB harmonies and an eternal message of forgiveness. But the song that will have people talking is "A Little Bit Longer," Nick's stunning account of his struggle with diabetes. With strings underscoring a plaintive piano/vocal, he sings about his battle ("A little bit longer and I'll be fine/Waitin' on a cure/But none of them are sure"). Recalls Nick, "I was having one of those days where I was discouraged. So I went into this empty hotel ballroom and wrote this song." Adds brother Kevin, "Nick sings this song every night and it brings people to tears. It's amazing."

They did it again.....
Wow. Just wow. I'm not going to say that it's more of the same, because they took some risks on this album, but it was absolutely incredible, even if it was different. Still the perfect balance of sweet, snotty boyband and punk flavor.
Here's my breakdown of the songs (I'm listening to them on my iPod as I describe them):
BB Good: pretty much JoBro par, which is good to start out with. Fun through and through: "Be-be good to me, and I'll be-be good to you...." you get the idea. Except there's a fun surprise in this one. Joe screams a couple times and then starts talking in the middle of it: "Listen girl...I don't wanna hurt you...[and then screaming] I WANNA KISS YOU!" Once I got over the initial shock, I laughed. They know how and when to be funny.
Burnin' Up: You probably don't need me to tell you about this one, especially if you've seen the video. Nick swings some good vocals in this one. And their security guard has a rapping part, which is surprisingly fitting for this song....I didn't like it at first, but then, like in BB Good, it occured to me that they know just how and when to be funny. According to them, this song was inspired by Prince.
Shelf:
bit
tersweet but totally fun. During the second chorus, listen for Nick's "aaah-aah" in the background. It's cute. Hanson-ish.
One-Man-Show: an "ah, who needs a girlfriend?" type song. It would be kinda immature if it wasn't endearing. It's funny when the JBs try to sound angry.
Lovebug: Their current big hit. Actually, the video came out last night. All acoustics, and a strange departure from anything else they've ever done. You can hear voices in the background like they're at a party, and Kevin's rocking out on a mandolin, Joe's tap-dancing and hitting some impressive falsettos. It ends joyfully like a normal JB song with electric guitars (and a
little
screaming too), but it's still the album's most delightful little absurdity. Apparently inspired by the movie Juno.
Tonight: A more typical jb-song, but it's my 2nd favorite on the album, because it's a great showcase of their talent: the epitome of what a Jonas Brothers song should be. Incredibly punchy guitar, some nice falsettos, and an incredibly catchy tune. It's about a break-up-or-make-up type moment, and it has good lyrics. You can also see how well they can imbue their voices with feeling. Joe bursts into a particularly passionate, "TONIGHT..." right after the bridge.
Can't Have You: In my opinion, the best song. Another total departure. It sounds very mature. About a rrreally painful breakup. It's not melodramatic or whiny, and they manage to infuse their voices with enough sorrow to make you feel wistful and melancholy when you listen to it. Nick does this one part in the Bridge where you can almost hear pain in his voice (he's almost screaming it!!!) that manages not to be whiny. Excellent. (I dedicate this song to Edward and Bella by the way.)
Video Girl: I HATED this song when I heard it. I thought it was a mean lashing-out against the fans, but the realization sunk in after awhile that they're talking about the evil, manipulating, bubble-headed cali-girl type. And this IS the most catchy song on the album. For those who like Camp Rock, they had Meaghan Martin (Tess) do the cali girl voice at the beginning (OMG did you hear I'm dating a Jonas Brother it's SO hot!"
Pushin' Me Away: This song is another more serious one. Catchy, of course, but more serious. About rejection. It sounds kinda urgent. There's a funny moment though when it's like silent for a second and then all three of them burst into a random falsetto.
Sorry: I can hardly listen to Sorry without wanting to cry. Nothing funny about this song, because you can tell they mean it. It's about how they're relationships with people have suffered because they're always away from home. The vocals will break your heart.
Got Me Going Crazy: A little too happy for me right after I listened to "Sorry". A fun, upbeat one with the same tempo as "Still In Love With You" from the second album. Classic JB.
A Little Bit
Longer
: If you know much about the JBs, you know the story here. Nick's account of getting and dealing with diabetes. "You don't know what you've got till it's gone...you don't know what it's like to feel so low, every time you smile, you laugh, you glow, you don't even know..." If you've seen him do it in concert it breaks your heart because he sounds so heartbroken. This version is just as meaningful, but a bit more optimistic, and it ends on a hopeful note. (We love you Nick!)
Great CD.

GREATEST BOY BAND EVER!!!
The Judas Brothers rule the planet!! The only reason they're not considered better than The Beetles or Lead Zeplyn is like, their age. Time will prove me right, you will see!! I here their next single will be called "Screaming For Vengeance" b/c they are like, influenced by some guy name Jonas Preist or something. I'll bet it will rule!!!!!!!!!!!!
I also here that they were inspired to name there cd after some self-evaluation in there middle school locker room, sharing some phat skin conditioner with classmates in the shower. Swoon...
The Jonas Brothers Rock
This is such a great CD! We love all the JoBros CDs, but this is their best to date. The vocals on "Can't have you" and "Lovebug" are amazing. We also love the title song and it's message Nick shares with other diabetics. Buy it!
