4.0 out of 5 stars Decent Debut, November 1, 2002

Not at all what I was expecting. I wouldn't have even bought the album except that I had to admit that I liked the first release "Help Me". I expected it to be mostly Pop with a poor rock attempt as Jive records tried to push another teen pop sensation on the world and drain every last dime out of him before the craze died completely. What I heard instead was an honest attempt at an artist trying to grow. The songs show some personal growth, but still Mr. Carter still needs to polish his writing skills. The best songs on the album are "Help Me", "My Confession" and "Do I Have to Cry for You". While the lyrics aren't the best, the music and performace of "Miss America" and "Blow Your Mind" are fun and upbeat tunes. Nick Carter sounds incredibly like Brian Adams on "Do I Have To Cry For You." This album brings back some of the 80's rock. I am impressed and not dissapointed that I own this album. I will be very interested to see the young man's next efforts. I love the 80's music of Bryan Adams, Journey, Bon Jovi etc. While Nick Carter is not at that level, he shows potential for that kind of music.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nick Has Done It!, October 29, 2002

Nick Carter's first solo CD has distinguished himself from his boy band days. The CD overall is full of a mix between rock/pop! I really enjoyed it and I would seriously recommend it! The bonus CD is totally wicked! It is actually worth having, because it does have some fun things on it, unlike some other bonus CD's with just a music video on it.

1. Help Me- His first single, awesome! Really catchy, and show's his rock side.

2. My Confession - Love this song!

3. I Stand For You - Wicked Song! A very rockish feel. It made me get up and start dancing.

4. Do I Have To Cry For You - A wonderful ballad. It has a backstreet boy feel.

5. Girls In The US - Again a rock feel! A great song

6. I Got You - A different song then the rest, but still has a good catchy beat.

7. Is It Saturday - Probably the worst song on the CD. It didn't appeal to me at all.

8. Blow Your Mind - Again not a very good song. It has a Bon Jovi feel to it

9. Miss America - An excellent song. It's very laid back and enjoyable.

10. I Just Want To Take You Home - Reminds me of "Help Me". A good song

11. Heart Without A Home (Ill be yours) - Wickedly sang ballot.

12. Who Needs The World - Very sweet song. It ends the CD with a good overall feeling.

Awesome CD everyone should pick it up : D

5.0 out of 5 stars Nick Carter's New CD is Amazing!!!!!, October 30, 2002

I've been a Backstreet Fan for the past five years and Nick Carter has always been my favorite. When I heard that he was releaing a solo album I wasn't sure what to expect, but when I listened to his new album, "Now or Never," I was totally amazed. Every song on the album is great. Nick has the traditional ballads such as "Do I Have To Cry For You," "Heart Without A Home," and "Who Needs the World." This album though, also features a new side to Nick. Songs like "Girls in the USA," "Blow Your Mind," and "I Stand For You," show Nick singing songs with more of a rock n' roll flavor. This album is perfect for the BSB fan, but I also think a lot of other people will be surprised by this album because it really has something for all music fans. Order "Now or Never" now and you wont be disappointed!!!
