No thank you!

Well, as could be expected, here’s now my first post about Hanson. Come on, we all know I wouldn’t be able to go too long without one. But, surprise, surprise, it’s not a very positive one. I still like their music, I do, and obviously their newer stuff more than their old teeny-bopper pop. Their latest album, which is now two years old, is still played pretty frequently on my iTunes.

But now Taylor apparently has some sort of side project with some other guys, one from Smashing Pumpkins and the others from god knows where. They call themselves Tinted Windows. When I first heard about it, I thought that it might be kind of cool, different sound, different people and just altogether fresh. I do find it difficult to understand how his wife and four kids can be ok with it, though. At least I wouldn’t be too happy if I had a husband who was away from home most of the time, either on tour or in the studio, and then when he finally has some time off he goes and joins another band, instead of spending it with his family.

But that’s beside the point. The point is that the music sucks. Big toe. The lyrics are lame and I hate to say it but it kind of sounds like the Jonas Brothers. Or worse. It’s definitely very different from the Hanson music that I’m used to listening to, and I don’t think it’s a far off guess to say that what Smashing Pumpkins used to sound like was nothing like this.

Oh well, to each their own. As long as I’m not forced to listen to it.
