Handsome British trio BBMak break away from the Backstreet Boys/'N Sync axis with a debut album the sounds of which revolve more around guitar-driven pop-rock rather than synthesizer-heavy big ballads and attempts at hip-hop cred. With classic-sounding vocal harmonies and arrangements reminiscent of a cornucopia of '90s lite-rock stars, the disc is well produced and particularly likable on its first few mid-to-uptempo cuts. It's when the group slows down, as on "Ghost of You and Me" and "I Can Tell," that it starts to come far too close to Richard Marx territory for comfort. Though such tracks don't display BBMak at their best, they're unfortunately the ones that radio programmers may be most likely to embrace. --Rickey Wright

5.0 out of 5 stars Two Thumbs up! A Must Have Album For The Millenium!, July 27, 2000

By	Cristina (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

Packed with perfect pitched harmonies, catchy songs, and a unique sound, BBMak's US debut album, "Sooner Or Later," is sure to take your breath away. The handsome trio, Christian Burns, Mark Barry, and Ste McNally, storm the radio waves with their smashing hit "Back Here," providing a refreshing sound that's bound to make your mouth melt. With songs like "I'm Not In Love," "Still On Your Side," "Love On the Outside," and "Unpredictable," you can't stop listening. The wonderful blend of pop and soft rock captivates listeners to a new sound for the millenium. The British pop sensation has made their mark in the music world. They're not only good looking guys with a great sense of style, but they also write most of their music and play their own instruments as well. Three pluses for a band that deserves a pat on the back. Buy BBMak's "Sooner Or Later." You won't regret it. It's sure to make you sing along and dance like you've never danced before. It's an excellent CD to have for any occasion that will give you all smiles ;-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Sooner or Later, July 20, 2000

By	sarah (Woodbury, NJ United States) - See all my reviews

The first time I saw these guys they were on MTV, and I have to admit I fell in love with their good looks. (Christian is a hottie) But when I heard their first single, Back Here, I was like they can really sing, not to mention play their own guitars. Their harmonies are beautiful. I found a remake of the song More Than Words that they did for their Asian album and I loved that too so I went out and bought the album, something I don't usually do. All the songs are good. I was surprised because every cd has its bad songs, but this one honestly doesn't. My favorite songs are I'm Not In Love, Unpredictable, and Still On Your Side, but it's even hard to narrow it down to just those three. A lot of people haven't really heard of them, and they don't know what they're missing. Sooner or Later the other boy bands will realize they have some strong competition from BBMak.

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE CD!, December 9, 2000

By A Customer

Sooner Or Later by BBMak (my favorite band as I am their biggest fan!) is by far the best CD I have ever listened to. Back Here is only just a small portion of the delight on this CD; it is so good that every song should be released as a single. Still on Your Side, the second single is also a great song. Other Favorites of mine are: I'm Not In Love (a nice up-tempo song about love) Can't Say Ghost of You and Me (a beautiful ballad) Love On the Outside and Love is Leaving However all the other songs on this CD are amazing, and I thoroughly encourage anyone who is considering in buying this CD to buy it. Christian Burns, Mark Barry, and Ste McNally not only prove that they aren't a boyband because of their self-written catchy lyrics and yes, they play their own instruments, but they provide you with a CD that you can listen to over and over without getting tired of it. Their songs range from uptempo songs like "I'm not in love" to moderate tempo songs "back here" to slow ballads, "again". They're the next british sensation. It is truly an amazing CD, and I can't wait until their next CD comes out.
