98 Degrees' smooth, sanitized soul and lush, precise harmonies are more akin to Boyz II Men than the Backstreet Boys. Which is not to say that they attract a different audience than their boy-band brethren; their simplistic but addictive songs of love and heartbreak seem torn from the pages of a Harlequin romance. The 13 songs on this best-of are culled from their 4 albums (including "This Gift" from their Christmas collection), and they rely heavily on lead vocalist Nick Lachey's breathy vocals, well-crafted melodies, and sparse production, but why tinker with a winning formula? These very songs have racked up nearly $10 million in sales for the band. What they lack in imagination, they make up for in guest appearances. Mariah Carey not only loaned them "Thank God I Found You," the song she penned with Terry Lewis, but her voice pushes the romantic ballad to stunning heights. The band also gets a boost when label mate Stevie Wonder takes a verse of "True to Your Heart." His seemingly effortless vocals and trademark harmonica transform the beat-heavy tune into an old-school classic. --Jaan Uhelszki
Customer Reviews
One Of The Only Few Great Boy Bands - Reviewed on 2008-04-17
When 98 degrees came onto the pop scene back in 1998. I was not much into the boy band thing, But when I heard the first hit released by them titled "Invisable Man". I really liked the song, it did not sound like an ordinary boy band song from N'sync,Backstreet Boys,LFO etc. As time went on, they released other great songs such as I Do (Cherish You),The Hardest Thing, My Everything,and my personal favorite "True To Your Heart". Even though they are currently not together any longer, they did leave there mark. Still in my opinion, they were very underrated compared to N'sync and Backstreet Boys. Hopefully, they can do a reunion album soon. I recommend this album to you!
