What parents need to know
Parents need to know that tweens will be hankering to hear this highly anticipated -- and squeaky-clean -- album from the stars of Nickelodeon's show of the same name.
What's the story?
Nat and Alex Wolff are real-life brothers who play brothers -- and music -- on the TV series The Naked Brothers Band. Their self-titled debut album, THE NAKED BROTHERS BAND, is a lot like their TV show: slightly rocking and always rollicking, with a light sprinkling of message and mush, and a big dose of sibling silliness. Most of the music and lyrics were written by Nat (Alex contributed some), who has a keen sense for catchy melodies while making the most of an awkwardly changing adolescent voice.
Is it any good?
The lyrics are clean, though some can be kind of lame and frequently nonsensical ("If That's Not Love"), but they're mostly lost behind the music anyway. The boys play all of the music on the album, which was produced and arranged by their real-life dad Michael Wolff (who, incidentally, plays their musically challenged dad on TV).
What families can talk about
Families can talk about how the Naked Brothers has become a brand name. How does having a TV movie, TV series, and a CD help boost their popularity? Do they all feed off each other? Families can also talk about other family-based singers and musicians who found fame, such as the Jackson 5 and Hanson. How did their early successes affect them later in life? Also, what would be good -- or bad -- about working on a television series with your family and close friends? Kids, would it make you feel safe or irritated to have your siblings and parents surrounding you all the time?

If you like this album, you need to get your ears checked.
You don't even have to buy this album to know that it sucks. There is no songwriting talent at all from Nat. I've heard way better instrumentalism than any members provide. It is quite possibly the worst collection of music I have ever heard. Listen to GOOD music like My Chemical Romance, Linkin Park, Taking Back Sunday, Green Day etc. If you know someone who owns this album, take it from them and shoot it six times. It sucks that much. Don't diss me for having an opinion, either. This album just plain sucks.

From upbeat and fun to emotional and touching.
To those who said the songs don't make sense, please think about the lyrics. Taxi Cab sounds to me like it's abstractly talking about a helpful friend... Sometimes I'll Be There is likely about a friendship or relationship someone is very indecisive in. etc. This album is just amazing. Most of the songs are usually just catchy and fun, like L.A., If That's Not Love, and Taxi Cab, but there are a few, like Catch Up With The End, Beautiful Eyes, and Long Distance that not only sound great, but are very touching. There is also a newer version of Crazy Car, which was first in The Naked Brothers Band Movie rather than the series. Finally, Sometimes I'll Be There is a track not to be missed. I adore this song-- it's my favourite of all time. :D It's just got such a cool, exotic sound to it.
