I have read some of the reviews saying how it was a rip-off because all of the songs except for "U Drive Me Crazy" were on another album. Well, the non-Christmas songs are almost all remakes, and you don't feel stupid because you are listening to a Christmas CD in the middle of July. All in all, it's worth it, but here's a review of all of the songs anyways.

U Drive Me Crazy- A song with catchy lyrics that will get you dancing.

A Little More Time- Not quite the same as the US version. More strings and shorter intro.

Thinking Of You- VERY different from the US release! The La-la's are replaced by electric guitars, and the carried out vocals in the beginning are cut out to give you a full-blast finish. Different background music and JC sings first lead instead of Chris.

Everything I Own- Better background music and vocals help shape Lance's speaking solo.

I Just Wanna Be With You- Same funky beat and lyrics. Listen closely to the end. You'll hear a naughty little whisper... ;)

Kiss Me At Midnight- A song about New Year's Eve that REALLY gets a party going. I know from first-hand experience.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays- Another funky, catchy tune.

All I Want Is You- A pretty, sweet, yet fun song that I can't listen to for hours. Nice little blues section in the background.

Under My Tree- Nice tune and vocals, but weak lyrics bring the whole review down a notch.

Love's In Our Hearts On Christmas- A beautiful ballad worth listening to. Awesome vocals and background music that take your breath away.

In Love On Christmas- Weird song that may take a while to grow on you.

The First Noel- Very pretty remake that adds nice music to the background.

Okay...I bought this album because I absolutely LOVE *NSYNC, and Justin of course. Not only that, but they are my favorite group and I love their music!!! Well...when I bought this, I was all excited 'cause their were a couple songs I'd never heard the whole version of..like U Drive Me Crazy..and a couple songs I'd never listened to like Thinking of You, and Family Affair. I was really, really, really, disappointed when I found out that even though the track Family Affair was listed and all, IT WASN'T ON THERE!!! It made me pissed alright. I went on one of the *NSYNC yahoo chats and was asking everyone else about it, but the other people who bought the Winter Album all told me the same thing..the track for Family Affair was listed, but only for 10 seconds, and it didn't even play. I don't know if this was a big factory mistake or something, but it isn't on anyones cd. I still think this is worth buying of course, the other songs are great, and I just love playing this cd, I still give it 5 stars. So go ahead and buy it, just be aware that the track Family Affair isn't on it. I also noticed that Amazon didn't list that track...probably because they also realized it doesn't work. Well, everyone....STAY *NSYNC!!!! Luv, Taz

The reason I say different is because it is kind of a half-and-half album. Half the songs are Christmas songs and the other half are regular pop songs. I will say that you should beware about buying this CD, though, because there are really only two new songs on it: "U Drive Me Crazy" and "Thinking Of You". You can find all of the other songs on "Home For Christmas" and their debut album. But it was a really cool CD to listen to. "U Drive Me Crazy" is the best song on the CD. I like the mid-tempo and no, it isn't a version of the song by Britney Spears. "Thinking Of You" was a cool song because it is really just a different version of "I Drive Myself Crazy". The difference is that JC is singing the leads in the beginning and not Chris. But, like I said, this was a great CD and I recommend it.

This album is really good. the songs on it are brillant as well, but if you've got the self-titled album or home for christmas there is no point in buying this because 6 of the songs are from their self-titled and the other 6 are from home for christmas. but all together the album is great.

This CD is the bomb I love all the songs if you buy it I promise you won't regret it! U Drive Me Crazy is the best song ever NSYNC is the best group ever and I encorage you to see the live show if it is possible!

What a great album!! If you love 'N Sync, then this album is for you. Songs to pay special attention to include: U Drive Me Crazy, I Drive Myself Crazy (Thinking of You), and Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays. I Drive Myself Crazy is a little different from the American version, but it is great. J.C. sings most of the song and if you love J.C., like I do, then you will love it (Trust Me!!). Also, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays was co-written by J.C. and Justin and is a great song, so check it out. 'N Sync keeps getting better and better and proving that they can outlive the boy band craze. STAY 'N SYNC!!

I love *N Sync; I'm a really big fan! I'd heard about the song "U Drive Me Crazy" before, and I just had to get the cd that had it. I also got this cd because I wanted to hear some of the Christmas songs before I bought the Christmas album, but if you just want to get "U Drive Me Crazy" then I reccemend getting the single. There is also a catch to this cd. There is a song listen called "Family Affairs", but it's not on the album. So don't buy this album to hear that song because you won't be able to. I totally recemend this song to only the most dedicated *N Sync fans, though.

I bought the Winter Album not too long ago and I must say that I love it! It's terrific. However, before buying it, be aware...if you already own 'NSYNC the U.S. release and Home for Christmas, then you basically have everything on the Winter Album other than "U Drive Me Crazy" and "Thinking of You". I'm sure you all know that "Thinking of You" is simply a different version of what we all know as "I Drive Myself Crazy" where JC sings the solo Chris has in "IDMC". Plus, this version can be found on the "Thinking of You" single. So, just be aware that it is not a totally new album. However, if you still want to buy it, I say go for it because the pictures inside the cover are excellent. And of course, we all know the only thing an 'NSYNC fan likes more than a good song is a good pic! :o)

After listening to the album, I found that "U DRIVE ME CRAZY" was an incredible ballad, the whole album was incredible and i hope they keep this awesome heartfelt music coming!

All The Songs On This Album Are Incredible!!!...It Includes Four U.S. Songs (Not Relased On Their Germany Debut Album) Along With U Drive Me Crazy And Kiss Me At Midnight. If You Own Any Of The Debut Albums...Add This To Your Collection...You Won't Regret It!!!
