In October 2013, famed Disney Channel rock band The Jonas Brothers announced their official split. After four studio albums, two of which are double platinum, the band decided to go their separate ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Six years later, the band returns with their new song \u2018Sucker\u2019 and their now-adult fans are losing their minds over the return of their childhood icons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I, unfortunately, am not one of those childhood fans, nor am I very aware of their music as a group. I am, however, familiar with some of their solo work and that leaves something to be desired. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nick Jonas, being the biggest star of the group is known for such hits like the petty and immature \u201cJealous,\u201d and other less than noteworthy tracks which charted relatively high. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joe Jonas would go on to be the front man of one of the worst bands I had ever encountered with DNCE. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In their poorly thought out, cheap sounding \u201cCake By The Ocean,\u201d only a decently solid bass line kept it from being an absolute disaster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
All this combined with a hype train that comes from a predominantly nostalgia driven fan base, my first impression of \u201cSucker\u201d was that it would, at best, be a boring clich\u00e9 attention grabber in the same vein of the recent return of The Backstreet Boys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was, however, pleasantly surprised by \u201cSucker.\u201d While it doesn\u2019t light my world on fire like it has for some fans, nor is it something I\u2019m going to be jamming to on my own, it is an admirable effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A strong and catchy intro with percussion and a cute little bass line ultimately builds up to a measly two-note keyboard riff that persists throughout the entire track. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even after a swell into the chorus, the instrumental stays relatively the same leaving the song feeling flaccid when it should build to an explosive chorus that the artists are known for having in their songs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lyrics are nothing special, but they capture a desperately large explosion of undying love and wanting towards a person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the instrumental never really kicking into second gear inhibits that tone completely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While it\u2019s nothing to write home about, it certainly stands taller than many other comeback tracks of artists from the same era. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fans of the band\u2019s original run will have a blast, and despite the flaws, maybe even people unfamiliar with the band\u2019s previous work might get a kick out of it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
