I've been to an Aly and AJ concert, and I really do enjoy their music. This CD's great-- the best tracks are "Rush" and "Collapsed", and I also really liked "On The Ride" and "Chemicals React". (: I really can't believe this was Disney! XD
I love this cd. Its perfectly clean and Aly & AJ have a clean image. Parents won't have to worry about letting their kids listen to this cd. Most of the songs are about enjoying life and standing up for yourself, but also about keeping yourself safe and happy.
There are so many new artists in teen pop these days, and in my opinion, Aly & AJ are one of the best. It has good hooks, and pretty good, inspirational lyrics. Plus they're both talented musicians, singing and playing multiple instruments. A great CD!
I have to say that Aly and AJ aren't my favorite singers in the world, but they're pretty good. They're better than a lot of the people who have come out of Disney lately (Hilary Duff, Lindsay Lohan). My favorite song on the album is "Collapsed". "Out of the Blue" and "Something More" are good songs, too. There's no offensive content here, so this is a great album for all girls old enough to understand the lyrics.
Finally a girls band that I will let my 9 year old daughter listen to! These girls talk about important issues and about identity and being accepted. They talk about boys, but do not promote promiscuity or get too sexual in their lyrics. In fact, one of their songs is about slowing down in the boy/girl relationship. We had the privilege of seeing these girls perform at Disneyland and they explained how their song "On the Ride" with a line that says "Life is amazing with you on the ride," is about each other (They are sisters). The style is pop with a rock flavor and is good enough that even my husband admits that he likes it! I really hope these two continue making albums and continue to keep it clean and innocent.
These girls should be embraced by all parents with young children, especially girls. Their music does not focus on boys like many girls their age would. They sing about self-esteem, parents, and friends and you do not have to worry about the messages they give, 100% pure.
I loved this CD I think this is the first CD ever that I listened to that dosen't say kiss me or anything like that. It was awesome. All the songs are so good. And if you liked this CD you should buy the DVD Aly and AJ On the Ride. I can't wait till they get their new CD out on August 8th. If you haven't listned to this CD yet buy it. All the songs have different beats, tempos, and melodies. So your sure to find at LEAST 1 song that you like out of the 14. Buy this CD today!
