I can't decide to this day if "The Album" is a clever title or not. When artists usually self-title a record, it's always referred to in conversation either as "the self titled one", or "(band's name) the album". So, is this meant to be a play on that? Or, is this suggesting that this is THE album of theirs? The magnum-opus of their career? Well, I'd disagree there, mostly because there's a lot more work to be done. Whereas anything prior to "Happiness Begins" reeks of aggravating song writing and production that caters to its intended crowd, "Happiness Begins" managed to have about half the offerings be at least a good step in the right direction. "The Album" manages to actually be a far more consistent album with the downside being the entire thing clocks in under 30 minutes. For an LP, that's unacceptable. It's as if each track was engineered to be under 3-minutes to allow it to go on TikTok. 'Wings', 'Sail Away', 'Celebrate', 'Waffle House', 'Vacation Eyes', and especially 'Montana Sky' are all jovial, catchy songs that eclipse anything from their previous album. The closer 'Walls' attempts to be an epoch, yet doesn't really earn its status; but the effort is noted. If the Jonas Brothers take the missteps from "Happiness Begins" and now "The Album", and learn from them for the eventual next one, it could be legitimately their best to date.
