Shout It Out Loud ( title based on their hit song from 1976’s Destroyer album) is expected to focus on the band’s early beginnings in Queens back when Simmons and Stanley were just two misfit kids who had formed an unlikely friendship. RELATED: Karma Chameleon: Boy George Biopic Moves to Millennium Media Norwegian filmmaker Joachim Rønning ( Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil) have signed on to helm the project with bandleaders and founding members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley cooperating closely in the production of the film. I think they still have a while to go before totally shaking the “Mmmbop” image, but I’ll stick around long enough to see how that develops.(Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images for ABA)įollowing a bidding competition, Deadline brings word that Netflix has entered the final negotiations to acquire the upcoming biographical drama film titled Shout It Out Loud, centering around legendary rock band KISS. The outlet notes that the KISS biopic is currently being fast-tracked to coincide with the band’s final tour, “End of the Road,” which has been delayed by the pandemic but is expected to resume this fall. Hanson has both the ability and ambition to be more than average pop music, and I truly believe they’re more than halfway there with Shout It Out. I’m just not sure I can fully commit to my liking of the album, although I’ve listened to it probably twenty times since the first time. Even in comparison to the other albums I’ve done for lip though, it’s clear that Shout It Out won’t give Hanson the oomph they need to reenter the mainstream. I don’t – and truthfully can’t – give them a bad review. It’s clear that the songs have been produced well and are each extremely thought-out and arranged accordingly, but there’s nothing unique, except that this is yet another comeback attempt from one of the highest-grossing acts of my growing up.
It could just be my personal preference, but this album doesn’t have the “wow” factor that defines good and great pop music. Hanson also gets bonus points for releasing the album on their own label, 3CG. The rest of the album generally sounds the same.Īll in all, Shout It Out is a great, positive album that sounds like something that three confident, talented men, not boys, made. I must admit that whether it’s on a piano-rocker or slow jam, I’m more partial to his voice than that of his brothers’. Youngest brother Zac leads the next two songs, “And I Waited” and “Musical Ride” and again on the slower “Use Me Up”. Hanson slows it down with “Me Myself & I”, which beautifully showcases their harmonization and Taylor’s piano skills, but it’s a little too sappy for my liking. It’s got a fun tempo and can-do attitude that makes me like it in the same way I do Rooney’s “When Did Your Heart Go Missing”. The next track I liked was “Make it Out Alive” because the saxophone featured on the song gave it a jazzy element that I was definitely not expecting from the band of brothers. “Carry You There” is a rollercoaster of a song that gets so amped up at times that it recalls early Bruce Springsteen. There is much more of a rock feeling on this album and while I think a lot of it sounds like something The Rocket Summer might have made three years ago, there are several standout tracks. The same semi-whiney vocals, piano-driven beats and uncanny harmonization that are yes, even on “Mmmbop”, still rule Hanson’s musical style. After giving it just one continuous go-through, I forced the songs I liked most upon my coworkers. Shout It Out was released June 8, 2010.I had all these preconceived notions about what to expect from Shout It Out, but I decided I couldn’t be that judgmental because from what my thirteen-year-old self remembered, Hanson was a pretty solid group of musicians. I think it got a lot of hipsters to check out how the band has progressed in the past ten years, so I guess that’s cool. It was in the middle of the day and I couldn’t make it, but one of my best friends skipped class and had nothing but good things to say.

I remember when the band gave a free concert at our (kind of) alma mater the University of Arizona in conjunction with Tom’s Shoes. When Dunja asked me to review Hanson’s new album Shout It Out, I was honestly a little taken aback.
