Just as the Osmonds spun off solo careers for younger siblings Marie and Jimmy in the '70s, Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys now sees 12-year-old brother Aaron bringing his own album to the kid-pop table. The closest this Disney Radio-ready disc gets to naughtiness is "My Internet Girl," a squeaky-clean celebration of instant-messaging. It fits right in with whitewashed, piping-voiced takes on '60s hits such as "I Want Candy" and "Iko Iko," and the lite-funk of the title track. Almost quaint in its preteen tone, Aaron's Party is certainly suitable listening for even the youngest kids. --Rickey Wright

1.0 out of 5 stars A paradigm of rhetorical reflections, July 3, 2001

By	B. Cornell (Eugene, OR) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I first discovered this recording, I was awestruck by the sharp wit and political satire that Aaron so cleverly placed through his brilliant facade of pop music. But after several times through, i realized that this album is not just a commentary on social uprising in a post-apocalyptic culture. The dynamics of interbeing of "Aaron's Party: Come and Get It" present a poignant, pensive collection of innermost emotional demons from two standpoints - Mr. Carter's, and the people in his life - those he loves, hates, feels, breathes. A shrewd, delightful, and satirical inspection of the rise and fall of media-induced, socially backwards, global mentality practically speak for themselves in such titles as "Aaron's Party: Come and Get It", "I Want Candy", and most notably, "That's How I Beat Shaq". A most riveting opus from beginning to end.

1.0 out of 5 stars Painful just to listen to, January 17, 2001

By	"hobbesalx" (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews

It's unfortunate that after the amount of people it takes to assemble a pop album, its still not possible to listen to without becoming ill. Aaron Carter was fortunate enough to have a brother in the Backstreet Boys, another awful, talentless pop act. Thus, with even less talent than his older brother, his parents whined him into the music industry. Now, we are left with a collection of poor singing and even worse rapping by a 12 year old who has been snatched out of school and given a job which he shall never suceed in-being a decent preformer. Why can't we just give record contracts to people who deserve them?
