Album is better than I thought, after listening to it in full. The highlights are:
1. Numb 2. Jealous 3. Chains 4. Santa Barbara 5. Avalanche 6. Nothing Would Be Better
Not worth buying but certainly glad I downloaded it and I think, if he gets the chance to make another album, it will be better.

I have only listened to the album one time through completely and I have to say I do enjoy it. I love his falsetto and yet very masculine tone. The album sounds like it was produced by only one producer which I don't feel is a bad thing.
Right now the main songs that I love are:
1.) JEALOUS - Seriously thing song gets stuck in my head once I listen to it, and it'll stay there the whole entire day. I never thought I'd be interested in a Nick Jonas album but this song definitely reeled me in. I love his voice when he sings "that's whyyyy"
2.) NUMB - I like this more than Teacher and it really should be the second single. Such an infectious beat and sexy song.
3.) TAKE OVER - LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! Reminds me off something from Chris Brown's F.A.M.E. album. I love Nick Jonas's r&b sound
4.) PUSH - Though I don't love this as much as the above three, I know that'll change. It's a song that is simply well done.
5.) SANTA BARBARA - This song puts me to sleep. But that's a good thing. This song puts me to sleep the way that I would listen to TAKE CARE, CAN'T B GOOD and SOMEDAY IS TONIGHT. It's just got that go-to-bed type of beat.
Overall, I like the album and wish him the best of luck. Hope he stays with this sexy R&B music/image. He's definitely got something that Joe was missing.

Thinking a video fro Push should be an homage to DAngelo's UNTITLED (How Does IT fEEL?)
Also, how well can Nick dance? I'd love to see a hot choreographed routine to NUMB or TAKE OVER.

I was waiting for Ryan to come out during this interview. Mess. Clearly, Ryan had a hard-on throughout and Nick is encouraging him. "I like it smooth!"

Just listened to this on Spotify. This is a really solid album; cohesive, mature, sexy and a good length. Perfect as a debut album, I think. His voice sounds like a cross between Justin Timberlake and Ne-Yo at times (does anyone else hear this?). To the people that say this is a good album for sex- YES! The sound is just so sexual throughout, even when it’s a song about heartbreak, like “Numb”, he comes off just SEXY. “Warning” and “Nothing Would Be Better” are the only tracks that give me nothing. They are definitely boring and a little generic, his voice doesn’t really give me too much when he’s working songs like these. The best songs for me are:
(in no order) 1. Jealous 2. Teacher 3. Wilderness 4. Numb 5. Take Over 6. I Want You 7. Chains
“Numb” and “Teacher” are begging for single releases.

And then either during the same interview or another recent one on Ryan's show, a fan had given Nick a button up shirt. Nick was wearing a t-shirt and Ryan wanted him to put it on. Nick was about to put it on over his existing shirt, but Ryan wanted Nick to take off the t-shirt then put on the new shirt. So Nick took off the t-shirt and Ryan enjoyed every second of Nick removing it and then buttoning the shirt. It was hella sexy but awkward. I think. His voice sounds like a cross between Justin Timberlake and Ne-Yo at times (does anyone else hear this?). I do too. I get a little bit of Usher and even Prince with some of them.

It turns out it happened during an interview in September. I don't know what was more awkward, Ryan's play by play of Nick unpacking and unwrapping the new shirt and taking off his current shirt and putting on the new one or Nick taking it off and putting it on like there are velociraptors in the kitchen coming to eat him and he has seconds to get dressed before they get him. It almost seemed like Nick was a little uncomfortable so that maybe contributed to his urgency to get dressed. Ryan looked so excited, like he was about to eat Nick for dinner. It was almost unnatural because Nick is like half his age.

Both Ryan and that woman come off like child predators? I don't know... they creep me out hardcore. The whispering of sexual innuendos at him make me feel uncomfortable LMAO and I agree- most of his promotion has to do with his body. But not his fault, everyone seems to just bring it up.

It's his fault in that questions, games, etc. are cleared through artists (or at least their people) beforehand. Nick clearly knew he was going to play crotch ball, guess the bulge, and so forth.

Why has Nick's entire promotional campaign been centered on his body? You use what you got ;) Very true. And Nick had to make that transition from child/teen star to adult star/performer which can be incredibly awkward if one was known for a squeaky clean image before and now they want to have a more extroverted, brazen one. He slowly transitioned in a way that was more appropriate than some other recent ones. He did do a few sexy photoshoots and did release some sexy songs, but in the end, it's not too much and he will be fine in the long run. Both Ryan and that woman come off like child predators? I don't know... they creep me out hardcore. The whispering of sexual innuendos at him make me feel uncomfortable LMAO and I agree- most of his promotion has to do with his body. But not his fault, everyone seems to just bring it up. Some of the comments seemed really odd. Just wait til he does the nude sex scenes on "Kingdom" that he's been talking about. His assets will be everywhere! A few clips of those with partial nudity have surfaced and they are actually tastefully done. Nick clearly knew he was going to play crotch ball, guess the bulge, and so forth. Those were a little out there, but compared to some of the other stuff, it's light-hearted, cheeky fun.

Nick clearly knew he was going to play crotch ball, guess the bulge, and so forth. ...How do you know this? He didn't look like he knew about any of the games. First of all, that's just the way things work; interview questions, games, etc. are cleared ahead of time with managers and the like. That's part of what the producer of a show does. Secondly, Nick referenced at least one of those games before he actually played it, so he knew it was upcoming. Jason, you should check his album. It's pretty good. I have heard it, and I like several songs. That's my point, really; Nick doing this kind of promo means the music gets lost.

Nick is just pondering to his main audience... Teenage girls. Showing off his good looks and hot body isn't a loss for him music wise at all because that same demographic is gonna buy his music no matter what just because they are in love with his persona. He knows what he's doing.
