Yes, it's another group of five young white boys making dance-influenced pop that makes the girls scream. Not only is the makeup of this group familiar, their sound is almost a clone of fellow teenybopper dreams the Backstreet Boys. It's probably not surprising, considering that they share the same manager (who had all five members of '80s preteen scream machine New Kids on the Block as the best men at his wedding, natch). The resemblance is a little too close for comfort, however, with almost every track here mirroring one on the Backstreet Boys album. From the radio hit "I Want You Back" and the sugary harmonizing on ballads like "God Must Have Spent a Little More Time on You" to the one step forward, two steps back approach to sex appeal on "Giddy Up," 'N Sync--or their producers--have crafted the perfect balance of catchy pop ditties and swoon-inducing slow jams. --Rebecca Wallwork

4.0 out of 5 stars This is a great "pop" CD, May 8, 2000

By	Jen Feldman (New York) - See all my reviews

Before you read this, I just want for you to know that I do like 'N Sync, but am not a "teenybopper". O.K. This CD is a very well-produced CD. It has great pop melodies, sweet ballads, and danceable beats. I'll go through this CD song by song so you can find out if you would enjoy it as much as I do. #1-Tearin' Up My Heart: This is one of the most catchty songs on the album. It's on of the songs you sing without knowing that you are.It really makes you feel like dancing. #2-I Just Wanna Be With You: This is my favorite "dance" song on the album. This song really has a great beat. It's a very laid back pop song. #3- Here We Go: This is another song that you'll sing without realizing, but I will guarantee that if you're singing it out loud, another will join in. #4- For The Girl Who Has Everything: This is a very pretty ballad. It's not "sappy" like a Britney Spears song. It's very geniune. #5- God Must Have Spent A Little More Time On You: Even though the writers of this song wanted this song to have depth, it doesn't really. But, the way they sing it gives it what was desired. This is truly a very beautiful song. #6- You Got It: This is a very quick song. This is also very catchy, at least the chorus is. Halfway through, the guys harmonize really nicely. #7- I Need Love: This song really does not sound like 'N Sync. It sounds like a fake dance band. But, this is a good dance song nonetheless. #8- I Want You Back Everyone I've met knows all the lyrics to this song. It's very catchy, and admit it, it's actuall a good song. #9- Everything I Own: This is an OK song but could be forgotten easily. #10- I Drive Myself Crazy: This is my pop ballad on the CD. It's really pretty and is catchy. This is a song you can't ignore. #11- Crazy For You:Could be left out #12- Sailing:Pretty, but can ignore. #13- Giddy Up: This is very good "funk" tune. Also, very catchy. This is very good CD you should not ignore. Bye, Jen

4.0 out of 5 stars 33 Yr Old N'Sync Fan, December 7, 2000

By	J. Bowen "almostgottazoo" (McKinney, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I started listening to N'Sync because my kids bought No Strings Attatched & played it over & over & over. I found myself singing along to the songs & eventually wanting to hear them on my own. after listening to & LOVING No Strings Attatched we bought Home for the Holidays which was great. I liked it more than the kids though. Then I decided to purchase this, their 1st CD. N'Sync never lets you down. This CD is great as well. And for you older listeners...their rendition of Sailing (by Christoper Cross) brought tears to my eyes. If you like N'Sync, buy this CD. You can't go wrong!!
