Editorial Reviews

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

4.0 out of 5 stars Hype, Hype, Hype...Forget That, Listen To It! December 14, 1999

By Jim Dempsey

Format:Audio CD

OK, some people may just pass on the Backstreet Boys simply because they think they are just another one of those teenybopper face bands that will become VERY big, then just grow "un-cute" and disappear into the 99 cent bin in a few years. Remember New Kids on The Block? Thought so. That is what happened to them.

Now, what makes the Backstreet Boys different, is that they have pure singing talent. Listen to their harmonies. SOLID. Listen to their songs. They ALL can sing. They can sing lead, they can do back-ups. They even play instruments (which I have recently seen from some concert footage.) Talent, people...all talent. I think the Backstreet Boys will be around for awhile. Just listen to them.

5.0 out of 5 stars They've Got it Goin' On.....Now and Forever! August 28, 2000

By A Customer

Format:Audio CD

This CD has a mix of everything from r&b, pop, and soft ballads. Here is a review on their whole CD.

1. "We've Got it Goin' On" has a great beat. The song says it all about the Backstreet Boys. Even though I agree with the idea, but I don't really like it because I kind of like soft ballads. 3 out of 5

2. "Quit Playing Games With My Heart" has great lyrics and it's a really cute song 5 out of 5

3. "As Long as You Love Me" explains that even though they are a unique song. 5 out of 5

4. "Backstreet's Back" is my least favorite because it has a lot group, they have different personality. It's a very cool and of repeating lyrics which reminds of Nsync. (Not a good thing)3 out of 5

5. "All I have Give" is the sweetest song I have ever heard. It tells that even though a guy buys you a lot of cool stuff, and spends a lot of money on you, he doesn't give you enough time or love. 5 out of 5

6. "Anywhere for you" has great music and lyrics that can melt you. 5 out of 5

7. "Hey Mr. DJ" nice, kind of an r and b sound, great beat, and cool dance song. 5 out of 5

8. "I'll Never Break Your Heart" is very mature, sincere, and beautiful lyrics. 10 out of 5.

9. "Darlin" not exactly my favorite song, but it's an okay. It's one of those songs you don't want to hear too many times. 4 out of 5

10. "Get Down" Cool song. I love it. Get up and dance everybody! 5 out of 5

11. "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss" is a nice, soft song. It just puts me to sleep. zzzzzzzzzz....zzzzzzzzz....zzzzzzzz 5 out of 5

12. "If You Want it to be Good Girl" cool song, a little different from Backstreet style. 5 out of 5

5.0 out of 5 stars A great CD: BSB RULES February 25, 2000

By Mina

Format:Audio CD

I LOVE this CD. It's definitely worth the money. And I'm glad I found it here because they do have this CD at local music stores but at outrageous prices. I love the song "Boys will be boys." It has an upbeat tempo and really makes me wanna dance. The extra tracks are nice. I love the remix versions of "We've got it goin' on" and "I wanna be with you." Oh, and guess what? You know how in the song "Quit playin games with my heart" on the US CD, Brian sings the first verse and Nick sing the second one? Well on this CD, Brian sings Nick's part. Basically, the song is like a solo for Brian. Wow. I was really surprised. I was waiting for Nick's(my fave BSB) lovely voice, but when Brian came on, I was like, "hey, that doesn't sound like Nick." I realized it was Brian. Anyways this CD is killer. I loved it, go get it now.
