Where this album fits

Career context
In 2007, Hanson was transitioning from their teenage pop star image following the massive success of 'MMMBop' in the late '90s. 'The Walk' was their first independent release after forming their own label, 3CG Records, showcasing their artistic maturity and desire for creative control. This album marked a significant evolution in their sound and lyrical depth as they navigated adulthood.
