Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions
Amazon.com
The world may be divided into two camps when it comes to the Orlando-based Backstreet Boys--detractors and hard-core fans--but no one can deny the fact that the boys produce perfectly polished pop that sells. The hits on this album speak for themselves: "Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)," "As Long as You Love Me," and "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)." If you're not one of the disciples, however, you may want to steer clear: lackluster attempts at R&B, saccharine ballads, and a murderous remake of PM Dawn's "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss" make this a slick production but little more. --Rebecca Wallwork
Customer Reviews
The Beginning of BSB - Reviewed on 2007-05-29
1 customer found this review helpful, 1 did not.
This was not the group's first studio CD. It was, however, their US debut CD with songs complied from their first two CDs released overseas.
But, what you get with this album is sugery pop at its finest. All the songs on this album work like fine tuned machines, and that is not an insult. From the upbeat pop hits ("Everybody (Backstreet's Back))" to their soft ballads ("All I Have To Give") one is left knowing their full appeal to their adoring fans.
But, what you get mostly from this album is the beginnings of a boy band. The album is laced with do-gooder lyrics swaering to do a gilr right, mend her broken heart, and take all her worries away with a kiss. And, if you look at all five of them, you'd be hoping they would come into your room and make good on those promises. Not for one second while listening to this album do you feel embarrased of silly listening (well, at east until you get to the last song).
What you have here is a wonderful pop album with all the trimmings--five harmonious vocals, slow dance songs, dance beats, and crooner promises. If this is not your cup of tea, do'nt listen. But, if it is, you're going to be surprisinggly happy by CD's end.
