About 50% of this record is really really good. It's clear that Nick's leading this band right now, which is sort of a shame because I much prefer Joe's funkier songwriting.

the first 7 songs are pretty good and wouldn't feel out of place by a poolside in the summer, which im sure was their goal all along. The songs that follow afterwards aren't terrible, but they're relatively bland and forgettable. Oh well, it's better than I was expecting it to be

Solid pop music. I see no reason to knock it, but it's also not stellar. Very consistent though.

It's decent enough radio fodder. Only Human is ridiculously catchy and the opening track is decent enough. But nothing really stuck with me beyond that. It has more character than their older stuff, that's for sure.

I never thought I'd have the chance to make a little comment on a Jonas Brothers album, I must say I'm a little moved... Especially since it seems it's their best album ever. Maybe, unfortunately I confess to you that I am not hot (and also mentally ill) to make me the whole discography. Happiness Begins is a sweet pop album that is pleasant at times, but which obviously lacks originality and which at the lyrical level shaves the ground.

"Happiness Begins", besides being the album title, might be a good statement towards any casual listener checking out this album. The Jonas Brothers clearly used to appeal to one demographic, but "Happiness Begins" succeeds just by being leaps & bounds better than anything they've attempted previously. In terms of Jonas Brothers music, 'happiness' will 'begin' for your ears when listening to this album? Sorry...tried to make that work. Anyhow, the consensus I've heard from many is the album might be better than anything they've done before - but now that we're taking this group seriously, 50% of this record is actually good. Which...I agree! Legitimately 7 of the 14 tracks on this record are good. The others aren't poor by any means, just uninspired. While the '50%' best will always vary among listeners, here are my picks: "Sucker", "Cool", "I Believe", "Don't Throw It Away", "Strangers", "Hesitate", and "Rollercoaster". In terms of a rating; while realistically it's a 2.5, I'll bump it to a 3 out of courtesy for this record beginning to end feeling like a genuine effort from the group and not forced.
