    I'm not sure what album the other reviewers were listening too, but this CD is truly terrible. As someone hoping the BSB would be releasing material along the lines of their best albums, this is a big disappointment. The songs don't have strong hooks and blend together. There is very little that is distinctive about each one. It's a bland record that is better left for the I'm not sure what album the other reviewers were listening too, but this CD is truly terrible.

    Yeah you did write that much about a new Backstreet album. I feel so sorry for you and what meaningless lives you all have.

    "Another unsuspected Sunday afternoon," the boy-band sings in the intro. However, this album is exactly what those who have followed their career would have suspected: they are going to record another syrupy shallow album for a teen audience. They may sing "Love Will Keep You Up All Night," but this album will send you into REM with lightning speed.

    Someone please tell these "boys" that melodramatic power ballads died in 1999. There's nothing innovative in this album. It's the same cheese fest of pop songs they used to sing back in the day. Too much drama and sugar it makes me nauseous. I hate to admit this, but Britney's new album is a hundred times better than this.

    Backstreet Boys don't have any songs that will lift them out of the adult contemporary world--but the audience who has turned from teens to adults with them will likely enjoy its easy sound, as there is nothing bad here. There's just nothing great, either.

    Nearly everything here is top 40 or AC radio-ready.

    They come close to recreating the sheer euphoria of their biggest pre-2YK smashes on many of the up-temp dance-pop numbers that follow, [2 Nov 2007, p.64]
