I agree with this one. I respect their record more than like it, though there are a number of songs I genuinely love. It's just that there is the sense that 16 or17 year old girls really wrote these lyrics and music without much editing from adults. This part I respect (teen pop written by and for teens = a good thing) but I have to admit that I (a 34 year old man) just don't identify with it much and a lot of the lyrics are awkward in the way that teen poetry almost always is. A little tweaking and the record would have been much better. I do have to say that the chorus to "If I Could Have you Back", while being completely awkward with its extra line of "on the other hand..." is also completely awesome and addictive. I can't imagin an adult professional musician/writer putting this in their song and this is why I love Aly & AJ.
i agree
