It's About Time
徠《It's About Time》 是喬納斯兄弟(Jonas Brothers)首張錄音室專輯,由Columbia Records於2006年8月8日正式發行。該專為限量發行,專輯已絕版多年。
《It's About Time》相關
此張專輯包含了兩個版本。首先是由INO Records(與Columbia Records同為Sony的分支)在一些基督教書店發行並取得了成功,具體發行時間及發行量未知。由於專輯絕版,目前市場上所剩的較多為這個版本。此版本同時也有DualDisc版(一面是CD,一面是DVD,DVD贈送內容為首單Mandy的3個Episode MV、Mandy MV 拍攝幕後以及A Day in the Life Of The Jonas Brothers),由於當時是在Sony官網訂購才有,加之後因公司改換曲目,此版本被取消,從未在市面上販售,因此數量十分稀少,目前所剩為左上角打孔的宣傳碟,價格十分昂貴。
隨後,《It's About Time》的修訂版本(也即正式版,官方一般以這個版本為準)通過Daylight Records發行。此版本修改了三首歌曲,Don't Tell Anyone、Hey We're Gonna Be Alright、Dear God被What I Go To School For、Year 3000、Please Be Mine所替代。此版本據傳只發行了限量的五萬張,因為Sony對Jonas Brothers並沒有抱太大希望。目前市場上此版本所剩較少。
《It's About Time》DualDisc版本、各個宣傳版本與正式版本均有FBI Anti-Piracy的圖案標識,也是JoBros唯一有該標識的專輯。沒有該標識即為盜版。
此外,《It's About Time》在成型前有多種宣傳版本(見圖冊),分別為3 Track、5 Track、6 Track和11 Track Advance。
Mandy作為專輯的首單於2005年12月27日在美國正式發行。
Mandy所寫的內容是Jonas Brothers的好朋友Mandy,也是JoBros目前為止唯一一首用人名命名的歌曲。
Ma徠ndy也出現在了Zoey 101的原聲帶以及電視電影Spring Break-Up 中。
Time for Me to Fly 出現在了2006年的電影Aquamarine中。
值得一提的是,JoBros與Columbia Records解約,與Hollywood Records簽約后,Year 3000這首單曲的版權隨之轉移到了Hollywood Records,所以在隨後發行的Jonas Brothers 同名專輯中仍然可以見到這首歌的身影。
據不完全統計(不一定準確,因為兩個版本的具體總發行量未知),限量的《It's About Time》一共賣出了6萬2000張左右。
2012年10月,Jonas Brothers的官方粉絲俱樂部Team Jonas宣布2012年的會員禮為《It's About Time》的黑膠碟,付費會員均可拿到該禮物(當年會費為35美元)。
2014年7月中旬,該專正式上架iTunes Store美國區(此前從未上架)。
Joss Stone金牌製作研發打造深受The Ramones,Jackson 5影響新新樂種。
權威樂評網站AMG給予三顆半星好評,青春期青少年所有心情一網打盡。
來自New Jersey的Jonas Brothers,不由得令人想起Hanson,同樣是三兄弟,同樣能演奏,會寫歌,融合了男孩團體的偶像特質和搖滾、Punk等音樂元素,在曾擔任Extreme鼓手的Michael Mangini和Steve Greenberg,兩位也是成功打造Joss Stone的金牌製作人的精心調製下,創造出一張充滿陽光能量又帶有60,70年代復古風情的《It's About Time》,也奠定Jonas Brothers成為Hanson接班人的人氣。
13歲嗓音清亮充滿爆發力的小弟Nicholas和16歲的Joseph輪番擔任主唱,17歲大哥Kevin負責吉他和和聲,共同詮釋了學校生活、初次約會等所有青春期青少年都會面臨的遭遇,年輕俏皮,「This song had gone multi-platinum/Everybody bought our seventh album/It had outsold Kelly Clarkson」《Year 3000》描寫自己在公元三千年仍大紅的盛況,不禁令人莞爾想起曾經擁有的的鬥志和妄想。深受The Ramones,Jackson 5和Modern Lovers等藝人影響的Jonas兄弟也非常注重旋律,好聽易記的副歌,大量的和聲,《It's About Time》可說是2006年最好的青少年專輯。
形容自己有些人來瘋,熱愛舞台表演的三兄弟有著一對音樂人父母,生活中音樂佔了很大的份量,圍著鋼琴彈唱是Jonas兄弟們家常娛樂。剛學會講話就開始唱歌的小弟Nicholas神似早期Stevie Wonder和Taylor Hanson綜合體的嗓音特質被唱片公司相中籤約,三人鬼靈精怪天馬行空的想象力和合作無間的音樂性在專輯中展露無疑,產生了美妙的化學效應。除了《Year 3000》,描述了在6分鐘之內就能對異性產生巨大好感的《6 Minutes》。當感情走到盡頭,《7:05》標明了生命中那些永難忘懷的傷心時刻,專輯中許多歌曲都和時間有關,所以定名為《It's About Time》,同時也如同《Time For Me To Fly》預告,為Kelly Clarkson,Jesse McCartney擔任暖場嘉賓,舞台經驗豐富,年輕而鬥志十足的Jonas Brothers的年代來臨。

These are the three videos made for the song 'Mandy' by the Jonas Brothers, directed by Ondi Timoner.
Episode 1: (Filmed at Pasadena High School in Pasadena, California). The school bell rings and everyone leaves. Nick notices Mandy has dropped her phone. He picks it up and rushes through the hallway. In the parking lot he sees Mandy with her boyfriend (played by Roderick Galloway) and his friends. Nick runs up and gives Mandy her phone. Mandy's boyfriend follows Nick after school, chasing him down the street in his car.
Episode 2: Nick runs onto the sidewalk and Mandy's boyfriend gets out of his car to look for him. He eventually gives up, only to see Nick in a car with his brothers, Joe and Kevin, who drive by, laughing. Later that night, Mandy and her boyfriend are at the prom and are announced as prom King and Queen. The Brothers are also there. Mandy tries to leave, but her boyfriend grabs her and kisses her ferociously. She pulls away and runs outside, then faced with the Brothers, who offer her a ride home. Mandy's boyfriend watches them drive off. She walks in her house and she and her dad start fighting. Mandy runs out and her boyfriend and his friends pull up beside The Brothers; Mandy is unsure what to do.
Episode 3: The next day Mandy is out with her boyfriend, who is crushing a mailbox with a baseball bat. Later, at school, Mandy returns a necklace to her boyfriend, and appears to be breaking up with him. She finds Joe and Nick sitting by a tree, and the three engage in light conversation. Her ex-boyfriend sees this and threateningly approaches. Mandy runs off to find Kevin. Mandy and Kevin get in his car and ride to where Nick and Joe are. Nick and Joe get in the car and speed off. The Brothers pick up two more girls and they all wave to Mandy's ex-boyfriend. They all go to a building where the Brothers play the song. The episode ends with a sly, "The End?".
