It's a teenage fantasy: after enduring countless auditions, five young guys from across the U.S. are chosen to be members of a boy group. They will call Orlando home. They will live together in a house while they prepare their debut album. They will work with legendary record executive Clive Davis. They will be the first to be signed to his new label. They will be filmed every step of the way. If all goes according to formula, they will also be teen heartthrobs with a few hit songs on the radio. So goes the story of O-Town, the group created for and by the ABC television show Making the Band. Taking a step past saccharine pop, O-Town venture into Michael Jackson-inspired R&B ("Girl"), piano-driven balladry ("All or Nothing," which sounds a bit like Bryan Adams), and even straight-up rock ("Love Should Be a Crime" could be sung just as easily by Jon Bon Jovi, but wouldn't sound as good). They also make endless pop culture references, especially in their single, "Liquid Dreams": "I dream about a girl who's a mix of Destiny's Child, just a little touch of Madonna's wild style, with Janet Jackson's smile / Throw in a body like a Jennifer, you've got the star of my liquid dreams." The words aren't the only playful elements here--watching them compete against boy band stalwarts the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync should be just as fun. Even with such tough competition, though, O-Town deserve a chance. With their hit show in its second season and with songs as good as "Liquid Dreams" and "The Painter," they'll get one. --Heidi Sherman

Unique set of boys to look out for... - Reviewed on 2005-01-02
4 customers found this review helpful, 3 did not.
Though I'm no longer a boyband-loving girl anymore, I still stand to my opinions that BSB, NSync and Otown are probably the few of the tons that actually have their own originality and they sound well together. Bad examples of boybands - Natural, Code Red, whatever crap that fizzle out after 1 month.
I'm gonna make this short and simple by commenting on the songs, and you decide if you wanna buy it. I don't think I need to kiss up to the band anyway so I'll tell you the absolute truth. (all rated out of possible 5)
1. Liquid Dreams - Skip this song. It's death to ears. 0.
2. Every Six Seconds - I like this song. Sexual, but good. 4.
3. Girl - I think it sounds sweet... but it grows on you. 3.
4. Sexiest Woman Alive - I think this song is sexy, and I love how most of the songs here are implying sex in a way. It feels good to listen, as a girl. Don't we all like to be flattered? 4.
5. Love Should Be A Crime - I love this song. It could easily be sung by Bon Jovi, but after a while it gets old and you just wanna bang your head to the wall. 2.
6. Shy Girl - Great song. I think it's sweet and sincere. Too sweet maybe, but it works. 4.5
7. All Or Nothing - I like Dan's vocals here. I think he has a great voice and should pursue a career on his own. But overplayed. 3.6
8. Sensitive - SKIP. I just don't like this. 0
9. The Painter - Replay. Replay. Replay. 5+
10. Take Me Under - Just okay. Skip it. 2
11. All For Love -Crappy. 0
12. Baby I Would- Skip it.
The best part about this cd is that it's just sexual and it's good to just listen and have fun.
Overall, you can see that this cd is lesser than mediorce, but I like the fact that it has a unique sound to it... it's a cut above pop these days.
But this album, but I doubt everyone will appreciate it as much as some of us do, really.
