This album is unlike any albums currently on the charts today. Their Sophomore attempt is an absolute winner. The album starts off with the funky, yet meaningful "Machine" and goes into a Jackson 5 styled "Float Away". The album has so much diversity that no one can honestly say that there's not a toe-tapper for the metal heads, and a head bopper for the r&b fans. Comparing the first album with this one, you can tell these guys have grown and matured a lot. Take for instance, "Sugar", the bands first single. It sounds like a real teeny-bopper song, and may take awhile to grow on you, but then you listen to it again, and you realize that the song isn't about Sweet 'n Low at all. It's suggestive, as with many other songs on the bands album, including "Dance Floor 2"-a sequel to a song on the first album. The song is a great club mix, and the sexually suggestive lyrics help meld that vibe in there. The mood changes with every song, and the guys do a great job of transitioning each song into another. Don't think the album is all sugar and fast paced beats. The guys' musical talents are definitely shown in the slower ballads, like "Little Sister"-a song about a girls love gone bad, and "Could You". Youngstown also did a cover of a John Lennon song called "Grow Old With Me". You would think, because they're classified as a "boyband", that they would undoubtedly screw this song up and make John Lennon toss in his grave. Completely wrong. This version of the demo is way better than the original, and each member gets his time to shine with a solo. Youngstown has a hit record here and I say run with it, because they can go far with this one. There's more than one hit single on this album so it shouldn't be much of a problem in the future. Some critics are way too hard on these guys, give them a break. I recommend this album if you're into pop, r&b, and rock because you're going to get your fill of what you want.Go get this album!

After buying the first album of Youngstown's "Lets Roll", i was very excited to get this album.
It was no suprise to me that would be a good album, but i just didnt relise how good!! I like many groups like BsB and Nsync but none of their material even compares to this album!!
This is the most inspiring album i have ever heard!! It has some beautiful ballads like "Little Sister" which is definatly capable of making you cry!! Then there is the amazing rock sounding tunes on "Machine", "sugar" and "you want what you want"that you just cant get out of your head and thats not a bad thing! And theres the r&b sounding tunes that are soooo amazing like"Down for the get down", "so tight", "Dance floor part 2" all i wanna do is dance whenever they come on!!
If you love beautiful sounding harmonies than "Away with the summer days"and "Float Away" are definatly for you.
Talking of "Floating Away" I need to get into more detail because this is the most unique song i have ever heard it is brilliant, and it is definatly a good representation of how talented Youngstown are!! When you listen to the song it does actually feel like you are floating!! I find it very relaxing and a joy to listen to!! The other songs "Could you love", "every single thing", "Grow old with me" and "Run to me" are all amazing aswell.
This is the best album to get if you are into BSB, Nsync,O-town, 98Degrees,and Lfo!!Even if your not into them its worth buying it!!!
With most albums there are always a few tracks that you skip but on this album you dont! And with practically every album you have ever got, it has always been fairly easy to choose your favourite song, but on this album every song is your favourite in their own special way!
I just wanna say that i think Youngstown are way under rated they are all sooooo talented and are brilliant singers and this album is the proof of that!
Down For the Get Down is definatly the album you should be buying!!!

I just bought the album today and its really good, i like Machine, its a great album opener, i havent listened to the whole album but from what i'm hearing it sounds excellent, don't know why i didnt like them much when they first came out..if you liked NSYNC you'll probably like Youngstown also

Hey everyone! OK so here is the deal, if you have a pulse and are capable of hearing you'll love this cd! Well, basically what I am trying to say is that this cd is good for almost anyone. It has those slow sweet ballads for the girlies but it also has some way awesome dance songs that is sure to get anybody movin'! These guys are awesome! I recently had the chance to meet the gorgeous trio (James Dallas ,Dave "DC" Yeager, and Sammy Lopez) Can we say HOTT!! Well it was the best day of my life that is for sure. THANX BOYZ! The live show was amazing and they are totally sweet guys who are gracious to their fans! I LUV YOU GUYS! So come on everyone help em' out: get the cd and enjoy the tunes~!

I actually love this album better than the first album cuz it has less slow songs. In the second album it's full of dance music and has some slow songs. One of the slow songs is called "Grow Old With Me" by John Lennon, Youngstown (whose harmonies work wonderful together) sings it very sweetly, they worked very hard on this album and it is worth it. The Best songs on this album are "Dance Floor (part2)," "Machine," "So Tight," "You Want What You Want," and "Sugar" The best laid back song is "Could You Love Me," and the best slow songs are "Little Sister" and Grow Old With Me" Some of the songs sound like the Dirty Pop sound from what you heard from N SYNC's No Strings Attached Album. So if ya like that type of music I'm sure you will love this album as much as I do. The one thing I wish i could see is their "Sugar" video. I have only seen the video to "I'll be Your Everything" for Inspector gadget in which i had to buy the DVD.

"machine" brings out the cd with a great opening. "Float away" is a sweet song. "Down with the get down", ""dance floor (part 2). and "grow old with me" are my favorites. Thanks youngstown. Nice effort!

While I don't agree with the main reviewer that reviewed the album, I liked Youngstown's sophomore effort. I liked the album kicker "Machine" where the group's toughness matches with the song's tough hitting beat, the loud heavy metal-like guitars and keyboards! The group had matured a bit in the singing. I like the one Beatles-like song (Grow Old With Me) that's on here--they actually sound good on it. It's unfortunate that the group broke up because this album was the next level for them. For this to be their swan song is a complete shame.

I don't know what it is but for some reason I like the first cd better. It seemed like it had more fast and upbeat songs. My favorite songs on this album are "Down for the get down" and the first single "Sugar." The album totally rocks, and the guys are totally hot! So if you like hot guys singing hot music buy the cd, plus vote for Sugar on TRL and Radio Disney. You can find the guys on tour with Jessica Simpson.
