The CRITIC: “Lines, Vines and Trying Times” is as Lame as the Title

The Disney mass marketing scheme that is the Jonas Brothers really made some bank this past year; believe it or not, the opaquely-titled Lines, Vines and Trying Times is the band’s third (!) release in less than a year, although one of them was technically a “concert” record. Their brand of disarmingly infectious power-pop was catchy enough, and their handsome boy-band image coupled with their virtuous Christian beliefs made them the perfect poster child for Disney Channel after Miley’s semi-nude photo scandal semi-meltdown, and damn, have they capitalized. Seriously, go check out their Wikipedia page for the past year.
