Back when "Mmm-Bop" mania swept through the land, Hanson were often praised for their deep roots in oldies, their sense of songcraft catapulting them beyond mere teeny bop sensations. As they got older, the craft naturally deepened at the expense of enthusiasm -- it's part and parcel of growing older -- but they retained a sense of spunk, enough to give such latter-day records as The Walk a bit of juice. Contrary to its exuberant title, 2010's Shout It Out doesn't reverse this trend.
