Hanson

Rating: NN


Things I’ve learned about Hanson, from their long-awaited third “official” full-length album: 1) Getting hitched and fathering a child doesn’t prevent you from chirping in a weird, prepubescent falsetto. 2) They’re buddies with Matthew Sweet, who co-wrote the title track. 3) Judging from the heartstring-yanking Broken Angel, little Zac Hanson (who’s going by “Zachary,” cuz it’s more mature) is itching for his chance to shine. 4) Mmm Bop encompasses the extent of Hanson’s collective lyrical depth. 5) They’re still trying to milk that annoyingly catchy Mmm Bop hook that catapulted them into the spotlight. Exactly the same hook.
