*About hanson from random places*

"I hate it when people say Hanson sucks... Hanson does NOT suck. They proved that at the
Grammy's they can rock. Face it people, bow down to Hanson. They rock, and will be around
longer than most..." -Steven Jenkins (lead singer of Third Eye Blind)

"Hanson where music is headed." -Mercury Records

"The great thing about hanson is that they can stand on their own musically - and obviously, the icing on the cake is their age and the way they look. This band really is an absolute joy to work with." Howard Berman, mercury managing director

"Their growth and maturity as musicians on this album clearly exemplifies their increased artistic depth. They've always existed outside [the teen] realm. While so many teenage artists are primarily performers, hanson is made up of artists and musicians." Jim Caparro, Chairman/CEO Island/Def Jam

"The most striking aspect of this album is how great the songs are and how naturally they grew up. The songs are so good that those who love real musicians are going to go nuts for them." Lyor Cohen, President Island/Def Jam

"They are so talented, they've got an amazing family and this amazing support behind them and they are so focused and so determined. I think they'll continue to have success." John King, the Dust Brothers

"I hate saying I'm impressed, because that makes me sound like I know what I'm talking about, but those guys were really impressive. They're really pros in the studio. Their musicianship is as good as you can be." Johnny Lang

"You're real musicians, we were watching you guys make it happen and not just play to a track." Ananda Lewis

"Middle of Nowhere, in my mind, is the perfect pop album." Melinda Newman, Billboard Magazine

"Plus, songs are what get me, and believe me, hanson has written some really good pop songs. In fact, it'll be hard to pick which 12 to do out of the 20 or so they've come up with. They are extremely talented kids, real musicians. With hanson, I'd like to bring a little edge to their sound while being careful to maintain just what it is that makes them what they are..." Rick Ocasek, producer

"It's a thrill to work with hanson. I've worked with them for four ½ years. I don't think of them as girl magnets, but musicians and songwriters and generally nice guys." Chris Sabec

"But it was Hanson that opened the floodgates, and the band did it in true rocker style: by writing and playing their own music." Teen People Magazine

"That was easily the best 12 year old drummer I've ever played with. It's impossible not to see how talented they are, and how far their potential goes." Bob Weir, Grateful Dead

"But Taylor Hanson is extraordinarily able, for instance, to play tambourine completely without irony, an art that most people thought the Partridge Family had killed off for good. And he can growl through a chorus - admittedly, in a way, more reminiscent of Leon Russell than of Otis Redding - without rolling his eyes. On "Where's the Love" his high, soulful voice inflects the lyrics with the authority of a gospel singer and the wiggle of a young Stevie Wonder.  Zac plays competent garage band drums, pushing the beat with the charming insouciance of a meet the beatles-era Ringo." Spin Magazine
