When I was a kid, this album had just come out in Oklahoma, and Hanson came to our school and performed. It was actually pretty awesome!! Two years later MMMBop was hitting the airwaves!
They performed at my elementary school in 1995. I saw them perform at KFOR and Crossroads Mall as well. Their harmonies and songwriting are spectacular. Wise beyond their years even as kids.
I'm first hearing this in 2022. I've tried to track it down for years but until today I never thought of finding it on UA-cam. These lyrics and rhythms are brilliant, as are the harmonies.
I love Hanson and have been a fan since June 1997. This early recording (which is new to me) shows how beautiful their harmonies always were. Especially liked the original version of their pretty piano ballad "More Than Anything" which I had only ever heard as a concert recording before.
Y’all this album reminds me of a simpler time in our lives. Our childhood summers. This album is really making me miss my old neighborhood and summers of youth!!!
This boomerang album you all have voices very similar to the Jacksons. Taylor your voice really sounds a lot like Michaels! Did you all ever reconsider redoing this album and updating it a little? I think it would do good.
Unless you purchased it online, you would have had to be present at one of their early gigs to purchase this album. It and their first album MMMBOP were only available at live shows. And possibly at a few local shops in the area where they lived. Not sure though.
I got this on cassette at a local music shop in Tulsa when it came out. Tammy and Jessica if you ever see this comment, I'm still on the hunt for the tiger beat when they talked about us playing nerf war with them!
I paid years ago for it, but I have also "Boomerang" and "MMMBop" copies (and the copies of the pre fame tapes). That's because I upload all the audio in my channel, for share to other people. You can take a look and listen the other pre fame tapes in my channel!
Yes, this and Boomerang are Hanson’s first independent releases. But there is a rumor online that there was one more, before these. Its probably untrue.
I think he sang backing vocals. If you listen closely, sometimes when Taylor and Ike are singing you’ll hear this sweet little voice sandwiched in. I think that’s Zac.
I love how Don't Accuse was like an anti-bullying song and then a couple years later Weird and Yearbook came out. I always wonder if they had a really close friend that was horribly bullied... is he Johnny? and did he commit suicide because of it? I have always gotten that vibe... always but they don't really talk about it because they want people to feel whatever they personally feel with the songs.
I thought about 2 hypothesis : he committed suicide or has been kidnapped. It's very dark (I know) but the Hanson brothers were very smart and mature although their very young age...
I think they all were at least a little bullied. Look at what Taylor went through when Middle Of Nowhere came out, he was bullied publicly the most, so we know for sure he was bullied the most at that time, but not much about before that.... I was bullied a lot but I never let it bother me. I always figured that the people bullying me didn't know me well enough to judge so I always ignored it. It happen everyday but ignoring it made me stronger. So I can relate very much to the anti bullying notions.
Poison Ivy has some killer bass to it, actually. I ruined a pretty good pair of speakers blasting it when I was around 13. Whoops, sorry Dad. LOL #grounded
Isaac sounds so grown up already!! No offense to anyone, but I thought he sounded like a grown woman singing at church. He sings the best love songs! I love his voice ❤️
Well Isaac was already 14 at the time. He probaly hit puberty, that's beacuse he sounded like a woman (just my opinion). And yes. Ike's voice is so wonderful ;)
I was hoping Taylor Hanson voice would still be kinda high pitch similar to Michael Jackson even in adulthood lol but it's ok i still enjoy listening to it..
Hanson early years and prefame stuff from 1992 to 1996. hansonprefame.jimdo.com
Awesome so the youngest one was only 8 yrs old in 1992 if my was is correct
@@rocknroll7065 Zac was actually 6 not 8.
He was 9 when Boomerang was released.
Some of the songs on this album were written and recorded several years before that ... though ... That is why they said he was 6 ...
I loveeeee this album. I'm not ashamed to say this as a 35 year old woman.
I'm soon to be 34 and I've been a fan since I was 13! In fact, I have tickets to 2 shows in October
Me too. Spent $315 bucks for it and MMMBOP on cd. Not ashamed to have spent it and I’ll never be embarrassed to be a diehard Hanson fan.
I'm 44 now and still a fan! And guess what I named my daughter? Plays keyboard by ear
I’m 41 and I love this album
Carisa Omey, Taylor or Penny?
They wrote better stuff as young kids than a lot of "artists" do as adults these days. :) And their vocals, always great.
They're so talented but very very underrated...
They didn't write all of this. I know who did. Michael Garrett. Never gets the credit he deserves for producing these kids in the early 90's
When I was a kid, this album had just come out in Oklahoma, and Hanson came to our school and performed. It was actually pretty awesome!! Two years later MMMBop was hitting the airwaves!
That's cool I wished Hanson preformed at my school
Wow that is so freaking awesome
So cool!

I’m old enough to be their mother, but these kids harmonize like no other.
I forgot how good they were until I saw them on Mask Singer.

Even for an indie garage pre-fame album is pretty good... I downloaded this around 10 years ago and it was a nice surprise tbh
I used to have a tape with this album on it and I have no clue what happened to it. So glad the internet came through for me! haha
Same! That's why I'm here haha
Y’all this album reminds me of a simpler time in our lives. Our childhood summers. This album is really making me miss my old neighborhood and summers of youth!!!
I've been longing to hear this since 1997! Thank you!
More than anything brought a tear to my eye, I thought I’d heard all the pre fame stuff but I’d never heard this. Aww love it so much
Lonely Boy is another somber tune. It really makes you feel bad for all the times you’ve unfairly judged people.
I’m back 3 years later. My car got stolen and it had Boomerang in the glove box. Devastated! I hope I can find it again
They were already extremely talented
This boomerang album you all have voices very similar to the Jacksons. Taylor your voice really sounds a lot like Michaels! Did you all ever reconsider redoing this album and updating it a little? I think it would do good.
I’m hoping they eventually do a new version of this album as adults. I’d love to hear this version and then a new one with their adult voices.
heck im 50 and love there music im a song writer so ya gotta love it and be open minded towards all music
I'm 21 and I love this album since I was like 12
(I was born in 1997 lol)
No one cares
@@7brokenribs i think you did, just for the fact you responded
@@user-rr9tr6wy2z This is honestly adoreable!
Account, actually, 8 people do. Just saying, the likes speak for themselves.
I was also born in 1997
Thank you so much for this rare pearl !
You're welcome. Check out my site full of rare Hanson stuff hansonprefame.jimdo.com

AWWWW! Thanks!!! Love it!!
Oh poison ivy that's me 😂😍❤
I don't know how but I used to have this album 😨 poison Ivy was my favorite😂

@@kroakie4 Boomerang was actually first not MMMBop.
Oh duh, I knew that! 😂

Why they don’t rerelease this is beyond me. I’d pay to have this and the mmmbop albums

Wasn’t there an independent album before this? I know there’s rumors floating around about one but I’ve never heard Hanson say anything about it.
@@kroakie4 I always thought this was it. I thought this was the independent album.
Yes, this and Boomerang are Hanson’s first independent releases. But there is a rumor online that there was one more, before these. Its probably untrue.
I can tell when Ike is singing, but I honestly can't tell the difference between Taylor and Zac. Did Zac lead in any of these songs? Can anyone tell?
ahmunmun725 I think that Zac was too little for sing as lead. He probably sang the back chores 😊
Did he sing The Love You Save maybe? You're right, it's hard to tell. Can't tell if that voice sounds "younger" than other songs that Taylor sang.
@@mythra7174 I saw a live prestation and Taylor is the lead singer in "The Love You Save". 😊
@@rany_bttb Ah. Okay. Thanks.
I think he sang backing vocals. If you listen closely, sometimes when Taylor and Ike are singing you’ll hear this sweet little voice sandwiched in. I think that’s Zac.
when he starts singing at 15:55 he sounds like Gil Ofarim
😍😍😍
I love you Teegarden! Y'all should give him a search and follow. He was the one to record this album.

Yes! I would heard more song's meaning from the early era. It will be so interesting! 😊

The lead singer has a voice similar to Michael Jackson
That was pre teen Taylor Hanson
@@SuperFrancyFJonas i figured it was
I was hoping Taylor Hanson voice would still be kinda high pitch similar to Michael Jackson even in adulthood lol but it's ok i still enjoy listening to it..
@@rocknroll7065 they were like the Jackson 5 of the 90's i guess.
😍😍😍😍😍
Download links is dead, pls upload again
You have to copy and past the url of the video in an online conveter mp3
@@SuperFrancyFJonas I want mp3 version, not full
😍😍😍😍😍😍🎧🎧🎧🎼🎼🎼🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Uh..... Your time stamps are WAY off..
It's showing how long each song is
uhh chill out
Who here is lucky enough to own this album?
I'd be so full of happines of I could buy this album, but it is so espansive! They are some on Amazon and their price is between 120-300 $!😪
It is expensive. Especially on cd format. But prob only a few hundred of these are in existence. So it’s worth the money if you can afford it.
I do I kind of want to open it to get it autographed then maybe sell it
I have both indies and I want to get them autographed. But I’m worried a fan at a concert would attack me if they saw.
I had it but my car got stolen and it was in the glove box 😢
1995 and 97 was their best years
You're not even a little bit right
For as much slack as it got when it first came out, I think This Time Around is one of their top albums.
😍😍😍😍
