Bonus content is accessible from any type of computer (PC or Mac). The project includes 10 exclusive videos, 75 printable photos, lyrics, a personalized autographed poster creator, and hidden links.
To parents, they're the new Hanson. To kids who've been tuning into Radio Disney and flipping the pages of Tiger Beat, they're geniuses. Jonas Brothers, the sophomore effort from the close-knit, close-up ready trio of New Jersey boys, is a mercilessly catchy collection of short but sweet punk- and emo-flavored confections. "Goodnight and Goodbye" grabs hold with guitar-fueled urgency, "Still in Love" borrows from old-school acts like KISS to build a slighter, kid-friendlier brand of classic rock, and "Games" has a respectable go at ska without sacrificing much in the way of pure-pop accessibility. The whole disc follows suit--a couple of ballads slide in ("Hello Beautiful" is a pretty one), but the brothers don't do much to dispel the idea that for them, uptempo ditties are where it's at. Twelve-year-olds, take note: CDVU+, the new format pioneered by Disney, takes cuteness into account; because this disc is configured with bonus material, photos and posters of Nick, Kevin, and Joe are just clicks away. --Tammy La Gorce

Music for the easily pleased:
Is there ANYONE on here who even has a clue what good music is? The Jonas brothers are NOT that. They're bubblegum pop pretty boys who have whiny voices and make crappy music. THe JonASS brothers, along with Lil Wayne and a few notable others, are the reason why mainstream music is failing today. Stupid lyrics like "She took me to the future in the flux thing", stupid simplified guitar riffs, you name it. And yet the reason the inbred, retarded fangirls like JB is because "THAY R SOOOO HAWT!!!!!!". Coming... more info
Comes in Cheap Case:
I got this and another Jonas Brothers CD for my daughter for Christmas. She likes them, so the quality of the music was no concern for me. However, I was dissapointed when it came and it had a cardboard/paper case. Not the typical plastic CD case. Otherwise, product was fine.
