Singles
Year 3000
Year 3000 was the album's first single and was released on March 12, 2007. The song peaked at number 31 in the US. Overall, the song, which was the group's first release under the Hollywood Records label , but had also been used for the brothers' debut album, stayed in the charts for seven weeks. The title is a cover version of the song of the same name by the British band Busted , which reached number two in England with the song. A music video was also made for the song.
Hold on
The second single from the album was the song Hold On , which was released on May 22, 2007. It wasn't quite as successful as the first release in Year 3000 and only reached number 53 on the Billboard charts. In Germany, the title, just like the previous song, did not enter the charts. The song was used in the Disney film Johnny Kapahala: Back on Board , and the band made a music video to promote the film.
SOS
The third single on the album was also the most successful: SOS reached number 17 in the USA and was also able to place itself in the charts in large parts of Europe for the first time.

reception
The album got average reviews. For example, Tim Nelson wrote on the BBC's website that some songs were embarrassing and annoying and that the entire album was only bearable for about a song . In Contact.music.com it was discovered that the album for six to 13-year-old girl was likely that nothing better could do to languish as three boys who embodied exactly what Disney wanted from them. In addition, the group is just a typical boy band that redefines the word kitschy . Ultimately, the author of the article rated the album three out of ten stars. In Common Sense you wrote that the album good, perfect pop-punk music is three nice guys and ordered the CD into the category Eight years one.
