i love these girls...im kind of upset that since they really havent done anything since Insomniatic, people are really forgetting who they are. but i like them...awesome vocals (im sure theyre kind of over produced but...) they are very good role models and sweet girls. im hoping that when theyre next one FINALLY comes out, it will be even more of a mix with some other people and song topics, etc.

What Parents Need to Know
About Insomniatic
Parents need to know that sisters Aly and AJ Michalka deliver G-rated musings on the state of the heart, from a teenager's point of view. All of the songs on the album are about relationships -- the good stuff, the bad stuff, and negotiating both smooth and rough terrain.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about strategies for handling romantic disappointments. Sometimes relationships don't work out despite our best efforts, and maybe it's not really anyone's fault. How do you learn skills for communicating your feelings, then -- if necessary -- pick yourself up and move on? Families can also discuss how young artists (especially pop stars) create an empire for themselves. Is it enough to just put out an album? Why do young artists feel the need to create an entire image for themselves?

Very disappointing
Aly & AJ's Insomniatic is very disappointing compared to their first album. Their first album was what made me a huge fan of them since they had such a variety of songs about different topics, like being bullied and child abductions. This latest album was very boring since it was all about relationships. There weren't really that many positive messages like in their first album. I think this album is more for teens.

Sucky, lame CD.

A fun and head-rockin' thing for kids to listen to.
As the years go by, it gets harder and harder for me to find music that passes my parents' approval. Aly and Aj have given me fun music with catchy tunes that I am allowed to listen to and that i don't disapprove of.
