The Naked Brothers Band
It's been called Nickelodeon's answer to Hannah Montana, but The Naked Brothers Band is more like a latter-day Partridge Family, only you get the sense that Nat and Alex Wolff--stars of the TV series, singers in the band, and real-life brothers--lead way more balanced lives than Danny Bonaduce ever did. So it doesn't come as much of a surprise that, with the exception of "Banana Smoothie," a song that sounds extracted from a Wiggles record and grooved up for a slightly older audience, they've crafted a solid debut CD. Where the Partridges had a handful of memorable hooks and killer harmonies, the Nakeds--Nat and Alex and four non-related kid bandmates--have Beatle-y melodies and believably kid-like voices and themes. "Crazy Car," a dazed-sounding song, and one of this disc's strongest, steers straight at 8-year-olds, never minding whether it picks up any parent-age passengers (a la the Partridges) along the way. Ultimately, that's the draw--The Naked Brothers Band, the show, falls into the mock-reality category, but its depiction of a couple of kids who've hit the big time and can't quite get a grip keeps it real. The music, not too polished and not too serious, is true to form. If Nat and Alex keep collecting fans the way David Cassidy did before them, "If That's Not Love" could be the new "C'mon, Get Happy," "Beautiful Eyes" the new "I Think I Love You." --Tammy La Gorce

The Naked Brothers Band Reviews
my 5 year old, 7 year old, my husband and I bop along to it in the car. we absolutely love this cd. its one of our favorites.
We were very disappointed in this CD. My 9 yr old was very disappointed as was I. It played 3 songs and stopped. As soon as we received it my daughter played it. We tried other CD players in the house and it didn't play at all. There is nothing wrong with any of the CD players and nothing visibly wrong with the CD.
These guys just dont quite cut it. Nickelodeon's poor attempt to keep up with Disney. Don't look for these guys to be around for long. Neither the lyrics nor the vocals are up to par for anyone over the age of 12.
I bought this CD for my 6 and 10 year old boys but I listen to it more than they do. It is a great CD for kids and adults. I highly recommend it.
My nephews are 9 and 6 y.o and love this CD and the show. Highly recommended.
