it's too poseur. if they wanted to do this they should've come out and set themselves as a brit-pop/rock band, and attempted to forge their own sound.
instead, they released a ridiculous hanson-esque pop record. 3 years later when they were all a little older, they decided they wanted to gain a little bit of musical credibility like so many other boy bands do. fortunately for them, they both play their own instruments and write their own music so they were way ahead of every other shitty band trying to achieve this as well.
unfortunately for them, the record they made ended up sounding unsure and unoriginal. while i think they have talent and could probably produce something listenable, their second album relies too heavily on it's influences. they obviously aren't confident enough in their "rock credibility" to make an album based on what they want to play.
they need to find their own fans instead of trying to appeal to the fans of other bands by sounding like those bands.
besides, didn't they break up?

I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

ya they broke up last year, due to creative differences... and they are brothers so I'm guessing it'd be tough to always be around eachother all the time...
anyways I think their work was just a progression. Every band has it, although there's was a little more drastic due to their age, but none the less they progressed into a really good rock group, and if they were together still I would have to think that their sound would have only gotten better, and eventually could be compared to other Canadian bands like OLP, MGB, the Hip, Sloan etc...
