Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Despite millions of album sales, 'N Sync are an obvious No. 2 to label mates the Backstreet Boys. Fittingly, they try harder--too hard, in fact--through most of their second non-Christmas disc, No Strings Attached. The quintet and Strings' dozen-plus producers fill these 47 minutes with bland ballads by Diane Warren and Richard Marx, mildly funky workouts like a cover of Johnny Kemp's "Just Got Paid" and the muddled "Space Cowboy," and gimmicks such as "Digital Get Down" that hardly lend credence to whatever career-longevity claims they might want to lodge. This is a guaranteed smash, but judged on the merits of its weak material and less than compelling vocal performances, No Strings Attached should be long forgotten by the time the Backstreeters' next CD arrives. --Rickey Wright

5.0 out of 5 stars Woo Woo to *NSYNC June 24, 2000

By Ms. Trout

Format:Audio CD

Applause for this cd. It isn't wonderful but it is thiers. JC wrote 4 of the songs and Justin wrote 1. Yes, some of the words are a little odd, but hey it was their first shot. However, this cd is awsome cause it has THREE extra songs. I'll never stop can be bought on single (and it should be cause the remix's are great) and so can Could it be you (on the bye bye bye single), but it's always better to have everything on one cd. And Only Through Heaven's Eyes can only be bought on the Light It Up Soundtrack, so this cd is a great buy.

1. Bye Bye Bye: wonderful song w/ great beat.

2. Gonna Be Me: another great song.

3. Space Cowboy: good song, words kinda shaky, nice beat and a rap featuring Lisa Left Eye Lopez

4. Just Got Paid: Odd song, fun to listen to.

5. It Makes Me Ill: Fun song to try to learn the words to. Good though.

6. This I Promise You: excellent song. (personal fav.)

7. No Strings Attached: Good song, with great beat.

8. Digital Get Down: ok, the song itself is not very appropriate but it has a great beat (I don't know what JC was thinking of when he wrote this song). However, it's fun to listen to.

9. Bring In the Noise: good song, is repetitive and can get annoying but in all a good song.

10. That's When I'll Stop Loving You: Sweet song. Great words and melody. (another personal fav.).

11. I'll Be Good For You: Justin's song, good. Goes on a little too long, but a sweet song.

12. I Thought She Knew: another good song. Sweet words, everyone in the group (except Lance) has a solo, and the melody is nice too.

13. I'll Never Stop: great song! Can get repetitive after a while but in total a really good song.

14. If Only Through Heaven's Eyes: wonderful song, great melody and sweet.

15. Could It Be You: good song, has a european beat and is a nice song to have.

This is a great cd that every *N SYNC fan should have! (either the U.S. one or the Austrailian one, or the one from Asia...) but if you're only going to buy one, buy the one with the most bonus tracks! ~Stay *N SYNC and Reach for Les Etoiles! =)

4.0 out of 5 stars here's the deal November 25, 2000

By A Customer

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase

Ok, when I first saw this I was REALLY shocked too, here's the deal with it though. It comes in one of those packages, where it's really thick, and then it opens on two sides and has two cds in it. The first CD is just like any no strings attached you can buy with the two extra tracks "i'll never stop" (which ROCKS) and "if only through heavens eyes" (which also rocks, it's on the light it up soundtrack.) Then on the other side there's a CD that's like forest green, and it says "nsync bonus ep" and it has the other five songs on it, two remixes of bye bye bye (which you can only find on "bye bye bye the remixes" and is only sold as a record at amuzenet.com for like... five bucks, seven with shipping. then there's two remixes of it's gonna be me, both are on the "it's gonna be me remixes," and an intstrumental of i'll never stop which can be found on the i'll never stop single. I hope that's enough info for you!! it comes in a really cool cover thin that's green with little black pokadots all over it that stick up... and on the back lists all the songs on the cds together. bye bye bye!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the Best April 20, 2001

By Talya

Format:Audio CD

NSA is a great cd anyway, but with this import, you're adding the beautiful "If Only Through Heaven's Eyes", originally from the Set It Off soundtrack, "This Is Where The Party's At", a fun B-side that you'll end up liking, "If I'm Not The One", also a great song, and finally "Yo Te Voy A Amar", the beautiful spanish version of "This I Promise You". Definitely worth the $21, and if you can get the videos off the extra cd, it'd be even better.
