I added similar artists to my last one  ;)

 i found this review which neatly sums up the record...
 
 The "Brady Bunch" have always been one of my favourite shows. I never knew that they even made albums like the "Partridge Family" did. This CD features all of the songs that were played on some of their musically themed episodes. Songs like "Time To Change" which was from the episode when Peter's voice started changing, and "Keep On" from the show where they get on the televised talent show. There are some other songs from Maureen McCormick & Christopher Knight, and Florence Henderson even gets in on the action with a solo performance. Although, "The Brady Bunch" had so many incarnations after it went off the air, this compilation is a great blast from the past, and sounds great too!

Well, I will admit that I have this album.  Before you cast aspersions, I bought it just after seeing "The Real Live Brady Bunch Show" at Kennedy Center, which was so funny my sister and I *cried* during the performance.  They closed with a couple of the better known songs and they ROCKED THE HOUSE.
 
 Thing is, those are the only songs you want to listen to, and it's all about nostalgia.  So there are, like, three songs worth listening to...
 
 Now the Partridge Family, *those* are good pop songs.
 
   :D

I've given this a full 5-6 listens now, and I'm officially disappointed.  It's not "bad" per se, but I don't think it stands up to the other three.

I agree,luckily they aren't relying heavily on it for their setlists this tour.

its a bit poppy for you. Perhaps you need to see the video and join in the hand-clapping on the first track? I keep liking it more and more, after being dissappointed at the start.

You need to listen to this (but only in the original package) next for the full synergy.
