Not Great

Think of what it's like to have 5 kids in the same room hopped up on high dosages of caffeine and sugar. Now give these kids these the ability of gymnastics, singing and a love for Christ and you have Jump5 at its core. Lesley, Libby, Chris, Brandon and Brittany, all under the age of 15, come out jumping, cart-wheeling, flipping and splitting into your ears with high-energy music targeted straight at tweens and no one else. The music is way overproduced, but that's the genre these kids live in. At the same time, the songs are chalk full of hooks and drum loops and it's easy to see how this album will give instant gratification to their target demo. But to give 13 and 12 year old kids the lead vocals when they are obviously hitting that voice changing age is almost torture to the ears. The extra "kid developed" emotion is a little over the top. Sedative anyone? A definite recommendation to anyone under 14, but that's about it. View All Music And Book Reviews By KevinMcNeese_NRT | View KevinMcNeese_NRT's Profile
