I got the album at last, from Amazon because no shops round here (or anywhere else as far as I could tell) are selling it. It's so good!

Janny · 06-29-2004, 12:04 PM

My song called Broken Angel was better! I was guilty of pre-emptive plagerism!

Hanza · 06-29-2004, 04:43 PM

hehe there there janny! the album is bloody brilliant isnt it. i havent personally got it yet. but ive borrowed it several times from a friend.

Not much, about 7 quid I think.

Janny's living in a dream world

Janny · 06-30-2004, 10:29 AM

Hey! Hnason has a crappy kinda quality. I like it. It is different from other pop. I recomend the Middle of Nowher songbook to learn guitar from... it's Sun-star's copy NOT mine!!!
I haven't actually heard the album yet, I just listened to that one song because I'd recently written one with the same name.

Hanza · 07-07-2004, 10:54 AM

The Lady of the Wood · 07-08-2004, 12:10 AM

yeah i watched the video for penny and me.pretty good. no mmbop though

Janny · 07-10-2004, 03:57 PM

Huh! Before I was so rudely interrupted... I've written this about four times now. Excuse it if it is less amusing and infiitly more snappy.
Penny and me is amazing
Mature and crafted but yet classic Hanson and euphoric and full of energy.

Hanza · 07-12-2004, 04:42 AM

Damn them! I wish could do that... I am able to do the complete opposite though... screw happy people into a fit of misery...

Thanks. I do try.

Hey.

Anyone else notice the similarity between 'Hey' sounds a lot like 'Sweet Home Alabama' by Lynrnd Skynrd? Nope? Just me then.

Daisy Baggins · 07-22-2004, 08:20 PM

My daughter has been a Hanson fan since 1996.

On July 7 & 8, they are performing in Tulsa, and we're going to see them there.

They have a web site which has a forum for paid members and a free part.

I prefer bands with thought provoking lyrics, mmm'bop just doesn't cut it.

Daisy Baggins · 07-24-2004, 01:00 AM

Hanson has put out several albums since the Middle of Nowhere. To judge any group by one song that they recorded over seven years ago doesn't make much sense to me. Please read some of the previous posts. You will see that their music has matured and is quite interesting.

sun-star · 07-24-2004, 06:50 AM

Well said, Daisy Baggins

I tentatively agree. But let's not pretend Hanson's lyrics ever had or will have the depth of proper poetry. Having said that, recent stuff really shows up the majority of pop music. :Old style happy smilie:*

*I'm on strike against the weird new embarrassed and happy smilies.

Hanza · 07-25-2004, 09:25 AM

go daisy! *uses quicky reply for the first time*
mmbop got them heard now they are producing hte music they really want to!

janny i shall join you in your strike it truly is a tragic loss

Daisy Baggins · 07-25-2004, 01:17 PM

Janny,

I'm not sure what you mean by proper poetry. I think that MMMBop was written and almost in its final form before Isaac was a teenager.

It's often hard for people to understand Hanson's lyrics because of the way Tayor sings. (I'm not trying to put him down.) In my opinion, I think that MMMBop's lyrics are very good when compared to the average pop song.

Hanson MMMBop lyrics
(I. Hanson/T. Hanson/Z. Hanson)

You have so many relationships in this life,
But only one or two will last.
You go through all the pain and strife,
Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast.

Oh yeah. They're gone so fast.

Oh, so hold on to the ones who really care,
In the end they'll be the only ones there.
When you get old and start losing your hair,
Can you tell me who will still care?
Can you tell me who will still care? Oh care.

And their later songs are getting better and more interesting.

Hanza,

I agree with you. Even though they don't have the huge audience they once had, they have a strong core of devoted fans which are sticking with them. Since they are going the independent route, they will be doing things their way. They are not being forced by a label to do what is commercial, and I think that they will really do much better in the end.
