Underneath
Underneath by Hanson
3CG Records - $20
The three brothers leave their "Mmm...Bop" days behind and go from bubbly boy band to earnest rockers.
Sample Grab - "Can't you see/ That I'm stuck here underneath/ And you make it hard to breathe." -- "Underneath"
What You'll Love - The bouncy single "Penny and Me"; harmonies reminiscent of the Bee Gees' best days; collaborations with Mattew Sweet ("Underneath") and Michelle Branch ("Deeper")
What you Won't - Laskluster mid-tempo tracks ("Misery," "Crazy Beautiful")
Grade - A-
