Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have been a BSB fan for over sixteen years and have witnessed their musical transformations. With this new album comes an essence of the currently influential R&B sound(s).
While I am more than pleased to announce that their music is representing their maturation, I must also stress that there are songs on this record that will have you wondering where the beginning and ending was (carefully listen to the beat of "Shattered" and "Undone"). Also, "Bye Bye Love" is reminiscent of "Single" performed by NKOTB; though, it may be the most upbeat song on the album. After purchasing this deluxe edition, I expected to receive 12 tracks but only got 11 (similar to the regular edition). Unlike the regular edition, I did, however, receive the DVD that comes with the deluxe edition. As a fan of these men, I was absolutely enthralled with the live performance as well as their video, "Straight Through My Heart."
Overall, I couldn't have asked for more from BSB. At times, this album is downright humorous (refer to "She's a Dream:" BSB uses words such as "shorty," "pedigree," and refer to themselves as making "pesos" all in this one song). Their attempts at using a rap star's vernacular in their new album suggests that they are definitely aiming at a wider audience, but in reality, you are getting the Backstreet Boys as they have always been: ready and willing to perform to any audience in order to entertain. Lastly, I would like to mention that while BSB are varying their sounds in this album, you will be excited to know that they still have their classic sounds in songs such as, "Shattered." This album gets an "A+" in my review for their wonderful efforts!
