AstghikBSep 6, 200510This album does ROCK!!! It shows that the boys are here to stay and will never be gone. They have put a album together that any age will love to hear. If you are 5 or 95 there is something on this album that you will love and trust me you will love it!

jasonmJul 29, 20050More of the same fake, overproduced crap that is more big business than it will ever be musical talent. No one should ever pick on the Backstreet fans though. It's just a big company that cleverly markets generic garbage.

MarkAug 20, 20059So much better than their early stuff, this is more like it. All the critics are sad to be honest. This album is a turn to the best for the band.

bigbyrdAug 2, 20055overall average, some good singles, but the album as a whole is inconsistent. It seems more of a transitional album as the backstreet boys try to change musical genres from teenie pop to adult contemporary, their new style fits them well. but when it's all said and done, their music will forever be "incomplete" without good song writing and more focus.

JedLJul 28, 200510Everyone put their pride asside and admit it: the songs are catchy and many rock ballds are respectable. Climbing the Walls for instance would be getting raves by all had it not been labled a BSB song. Just Want You To Know reminds me of Kelly Clarksons hit Since U Been Gone and Poster Girl is perfect R&B/. Great work, I dont see what everyone is booing about.

TreyHAug 9, 200510It's not just that the harmonies are as striking as they once were- what's really astonishing is the sheer depth. Probably the most moving album of the last 20 years.
-
-
johnbSep 12, 20050Absolutely crap, backstreet boys need to realize that their time has long gone. Boyband has gone down the ditch whatever effort put into trying to revive those glorious days are uselss. absolute junk might as well use em as coasters.

-
RanjithDSep 28, 200510The music is absolutely fanatstic. I have always been a BSB fan and I am glad that they are back. The music is smooth and relaxed. The lyrics are wonderfull (trademark BSB's). It's good to hear them after 5 years. I give it 10.

-
LestatBSep 4, 200510Essential! Do yourself a favour and trade your new Sufjan Stevens and your New Pornographers for these excelent collection from one of the biggest band of the 90s. On second thought, you should probably keep your precious indie rock cds since they definitely sell more albums than all your top ten of 2005 list combined.

CarlosPSep 7, 20050I concur...absolute garbage

AlexS.Dec 24, 200510A very good album, with a very good sound and amazing lyrics; One of the best Cd by Backstreet Boys

brentaJul 31, 20051i'll give 'em 1 for turning up. i'd vote higher if they promised it was their last ever. they may have grown up to be men but have done so in a bubble of unreality and a great lack of inspiration.
-
-
RichTAug 1, 200510Watch out Beatles and Radiohead! These are no longer boys, but men. The only thing stopping them from becoming great is their inability to play instruments or sing well, but that should come with practice.

JamieMAug 19, 20050Jess, that's against the rules to say a backstreet boys album ROCKS. That's just crazy if you say that. Oh and by the way, it does not rock. It is the most dull, shockingly bland album you will ever hear.
-
-
DFAug 21, 20058You know what, guys? Take it for what it is. This album may not break new ground or set new standards, but it is a great listen from start to finish.

esmemAug 23, 200510muy buenisimo el disco!!!
-
-
SegageekAug 25, 20058I didnt expect much from this album but it surprised me, it has some good songs, crawling the walls, Incomplete were excellent songs. Not a bad pop album overall however a few bland songs that were pretty much fillers aka Weird World, which seemed effortless and emotrionaless. But overall i highley reccomend this album

-
sarahpAug 7, 20050it sucked. alot.no one wants to hear the backstreet boys try and be ben folds.....ever. because they never will be because there a POP band. way to show no creativity and steal other peoples work you sure went for the gold::rolls eyes::

SuzanneCSep 10, 200510I really did think that this was quite a nice relaxed album to listen to, with song lyrics that if you have ever been in love, you can actually relate to

JulietJul 25, 20069I've been a Backstreet fan since the beginning; and though there sound has matured a bit I still love them just as much, if not more. Every song is just as easy to sing along to, even if some of them sound incredibly similar. Loved it!

ShineBFeb 12, 20079Greate. not pop, not rock. Unusual and original. Very Strong music.
-
-
AllisonBFeb 14, 20079As a BSB fan, I was very pleased with this album after waiting years for another. This album definitely shows a more mature side to the guys, and I do like the direction they took. As a metal and hardcore fan, I can honestly say I like the mellow songs on this album, and I would recommend it to any BSB fan or to anyone who just needs something to relax to.

SauravJan 15, 200610Excellent maturity shown by the band. Their music has grown with them and the songs are a good mix of pop,rock and R&B while maintaining their originality. This album shows rhat BSB is ready for a second innings.

Never Gone [is] a solid adult contemporary album, which will please both BSB diehards and the dwindling ranks who wish that the glory days of Jon Secada never ended, but its relative strength does highlight one problem with the album: this kind of music doesn't sound quite as convincing when delivered by a group of guys as it does by one singer.
-
40Never Gone's rock ballads are painfully and sometimes powerfully earnest demands for meaning and redemption. [Aug 2005, p.108]

50Even if they aren't Never Gone, their inspiration certainly is.
