Best Tracks:
Who I Am This is a great song and provides a wonderful segue from the Jonas Brothers' sound to the new Nick Jonas sound.
Olive & An Arrow This song has mature lyrics and is a great song for melancholy days.
Conspiracy Theory The lyrics to this song are a little too repetitive for me, yet the hard rock feel is pulled off wonderfully.
State of Emergency This song is great because it explores the messier side of life...or at least as messy as life gets for a Jonas Brothers. Like the others, it is sincere and heartfelt. Also, it has a great rock sound, with a little bit of funk.
P.S. I am not a young girl. I am a grown woman with discerning taste in music, who merely appreciates the potential in Nick and the Jonas Brothers as serious musicians, not just Disney heart-throbs. I hope my review is helpful.

When I first got this CD last year, I was madly in love with the songs. Nick Jonas just has this way with music and lyrics--a real God-given talent. But after a month or two, I found myself listening to it less and less. After a year, it's barely ever in my CD player anymore. I even noticed that several of his songs ("Conspiracy Theory", for one) sound a lot like songs of his well-known musical influences (such as the great Stevie Wonder). There are days when I do still get the urge to pop this in my stereo, but those are few and far in between. As a person who LOVES music--all genres--it takes a lot for me to NOT want to listen to an album I've purchased. More often than not, I'm stuck trying to decide which one to put in because I love so many. It's a bit too easy to opt out of this one.**Side note: The song he wrote & performed on his tour for this album ("Stay") is still a favorite of mine. I definitely recommend going to iTunes and at least buying THAT.**
