Ok, this isn't about whether the music good or bad. We are not talking musical genuis, it is the Brady Bunch so what do you expect? This is about memories...I had this on 8-track when I was 8 or 9 years old and the songs bring back so many childhood memories you can't help but smile. If you are looking for high quality music, don't buy it, but if you are looking for a fun stroll down memory lane...go for it.

This is probably the best Brady Bunch album, but that's not saying much. It does feature the bunch's three best songs; "It's a Sunshine Day", "Keep On" and "Candy (Sugar Shoppe)". Not that those songs are good, exactly, but they are fun in a campy kind of way. The rest of the album is pretty terrible, although the Godawful cover version of "Love Me Do" is good for a few laughs. The CD includes three bonus tracks from the wretched "Chris Knight & Maureen McCormick" album. This CD is for serious fans of the Brady Bunch only.

Not as ambitious as the other Brady Bunch CDs. They cover everyone from Beatles to Chicago. CANDY is the highlight of the CD but you can get that on the "Best Of" CD. Love "Saturday in the Park" but it's the song I love so it doesn't matter who sings it.

THE ONLY REASON I GAVE THIS 2 STARS IS BECAUSE IT HAS BONUS MATERIAL ON IT. WHO KNEW THAT CHRIS KNIGHT AND MAUREEN MCCORMICK HAD MADE AN ALBUM TOGETGER? I REMEMBER SEEING MAUREEN ON AMERICAN BANDSTAND SINGING THE SONG HEY LITTLE BIRD AND I THOUGHT SHE HAD A GREAT VOICE! AND TO FINALLY FIND IT ON CD WAS ALMOST MORE THAN I COULD BEAR!!! HOW I DROVE MY FAMILY CRAZY WHEN I WAS A KID LOOKING FOR THAT RECORD...BUT REALLY...LOVE ME DO? I FINALLY THREW THIS CD OUT WHEN I MOVED TO A CRAMPED NYC APT AND DID NOT WANT TO WASTE SPACE ON CRAP I WOULD NEVER LISTEN TO AGAIN...IT WAS NICE FOR A LAUGH AND A WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE BUT THATS IT!!!!

This second Brady album delivers more of the same, with a slick pro band backing the kids as they do their best to sing together and with solos. Notable winners include the TV-famous "It's a Sunshine Day" and "Keep On", the rather intricate vocal stylings of the catchy "Merry Go Round," a funny but interesting version of "Love Me Do," and the rockin' "Candy" which the good liner notes (indeed, all these Brady rereleases have pretty good background info) justly describes as borderline obscene. The rest aren't as memorable, with "You Need that Rockn'Roll" as a particular low point. It is interesting to note that this kind of teen dream phenomenon is still going on; Sabrina the Teenage Witch, for example, has her own spinoff saturday morning cartoon show and rock music album, except they only make her sing one song, having learned the Brady lesson. And yet, dated though much of this stuff is, the Brady kids did a remarkably good job under high pressure and ill-conceived ventures.
