This Is Us Image
  • Summary: The Backstreet Boys second album without Kevin Richardson reunites them with producer Max Martin.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 3 out of 5
  2. Negative: 1 out of 5
  1. On This Is Us, the group sounds great for their age, and they sound like they're at their peak.
  2. A competent but very late-adopted pop-trance slurry.
  3. Most of the songs are just complete misfires.

    Just like the other record company employees on here, I love this album! Truly magnificent! A+! Better than the Beatles! Better than anything out there! Too bad old marketing schemes don't work anymore and our fanbase is in their late twenties and listening to Black Eyed Peas. Boy bands must be YOUNG; this is essential to their success. Young girls must be able to THINK/HOPE/BELIEVE they can date the band members... Expand

    Well, I like the boys since 11 years. I've waited for something that could beat "Backstreet's Back" or "Unbreakable" - but unfortunately "This Is Us" doesn't bring it. Too much of the same, I had the hope their music would grow with them. Solely "Bigger" gets me and is indeed nicely arranged, the rest rather reminds me of what I could get from any no name boyband out there. Nothing that would stand out from the crowd. Expand
