Backstreet Boys

I have been a BSB fan since 1997 and since the release of their latest album, DNA, I've been on a nostalgia kick. This album shaped my childhood, produced so many lasting memories, and introduced me to my first celebrity crush: A.J. McLean. Almost all songs are an easy 10/10 and they don't grow tiresome. It seemed like this album lasted years in the public before they released Millennium, but I was okay with it because there were so many great hits, music videos, concert series, etc. They made this album phase last while still keeping it fresh and relevant. While I love all songs except that last track, here's my breakdown of the album: 1. "We've Got It Going On" - I never appreciated this song until watching their "Homecoming: Live From Orlando" VHS as a kid. It sounds so amazing live! One of the upbeat songs on the album, it features the 2 best voices (imo), Brian and A.J., throughout the song and is a great album opener. 9/10 2. "Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)" - all I think of when this song plays are the boys singing in the rain. Nonetheless, I've always loved this song and consider it one of their best ballads. 10/10 3. "As Long As You Love Me" - a fun, upbeat ballad with another memorable music video. This song is so catchy and fun and has always been an album favorite. 10/10 4. "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" - one of the best songs of their career! Album version, live version, the iconic music video. This song is PERFECTION! Always blasting this one in the car. 10/10 5. "All I Have To Give" - I'm kind of in the minority here, but this song was never a favorite of mine. It's good, but I always found it a bit boring and so long. 8/10 6. "Anywhere For You" - classic BSB ballad that showcases the boys' harmony real well and sounds good live. A good slowdown song before getting to the second half of the album. 8/10 7. "Hey, Mr. DJ (Keep Playing That Song)" - I've always seen this as A.J.'s solo song on the album. This song is so good! It's got that R&B soul, it's sensual, it's smooth, it's all A.J., and I don't complain about the length on this one because you're engaged and want more. 10/10 8. "I'll Never Break Your Heart" - another classic BSB song. One of the most popular ballads to date and the last single on the album before Millennium came out. I used to consider this an okay BSB song but as I got older it became one of my favorite songs of theirs. Maybe I'm bias to the songs featuring A.J. 10/10 9. "Darlin'" - so I usually skip over this one. It's not terrible, but not fantastic either. It's a filler song but not a terrible filler. For what it's worth, you get some Kevin solo on this one. 7/10 10. "Get Down (You're The One For Me)" - the best song on the album. Another perfect song and it sounds awesome live (please watch the "Homecoming: Live From Orlando" version). I cannot believe this was never a single off this album. It is so catchy, so fun, so energetic, a real BOP. Another one that gets blasted in the car. 10/10 11. "Set Adrift On Memory Bliss" - I actually like this song. It's calm, smooth, and a good cooldown to the end of the album. Another R&B/smooth number. 8/10 12. "If You Want It To Be Good Girl (Get Yourself A Bad Boy)" - the title says it all... 0/10

Love the backstreetboys cds!!!!

My 10 year old daughter recently got a cd player as a gift and I got her this cd which she loves and it brings me many memories of when I was her age

I am a HUGE Backstreet Boys fan. Not sure what happened to this CD, but when I went to get it out to rip it to my new laptop, the case was empty. So I had to buy a new copy, quickly! I still love the songs on here, just good, classic BSB. Their most recent CD, In a World Like This, is their best yet, in my opinion, so check that out if you are a fan. But this is just a necessity for any fan of the Backstreet Boys.

I am 65 years old and I think these boys sing very well. Their songs are not overrun by loud instruments but have enough instrumental harmony and a cute beat to the music that makes it fun. I did not know the popularity of the group when I heard one song they sang on UTube. I believe the CD is worth listening to when you want to clean your house of do a job at home you don't particularly care to do but must. This peppy beat in some of these songs will be the right pace to do it. Cute!

This is an enhanced CD. Where in the description is this?

I had this album on cassette tape in my younger days. Somewhere along the way it broke. It feels good to have this in my collection again.

I bought this album because my mom bought it for me when I was about four years old and it just got lost. Now I decided to buy it because of the memories it brings and also because I love this album.

A very good album to listen too

A replacement for CDs lost in a fire. My kids (ages 5-9) love the Backstreet Boys too! Bring back the 90s!

Genial
