Backstreet Boys - Video Hits, Chapter One Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great dvd collection for any Backstreet Boy fan. The videos are:
From the album BACKSTREET BOYS
Quit Playin' Games (With My Heart)
I'll Never Break Your Heart BACKSTREET BOYS [1998 version]
From the album BACKSTREET'S BACK (but BACKSTREET BOYS in the U.S.)
As Long As You Love Me
Everybody (Backstreet's Back)
All I Have To Give
From MILLENIUM
I Want It That Way
Larger Than Life
Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely
The One
From BLACK AND BLUE
Shape Of My Heart
The Call
More Than That
The majority of Backstreet Boys' videos are included here. However, there are a number which are missing. This compilation appears to lack five videos, which in my opinion, are some of their best. They are:
1. Drowning
The others (which are all from the album BACKSTREET BOYS), are:
2. We've Got It Goin On - Their first video. They appear to be just 'hanging out', at a car wash, playing basketball, and dancing in a club etc.
3. Anywhere For You - In this video they're at the beach.
4. Get Down (You're the One For Me) - Here they are mainly dancing on a round stage with tv screens all around them.
5. I'll Never Break Your Heart - 1996 version. This was actually re-released; the old version had the boys at what appeared to be a ski resort.
For those who want to see the majority of the Backstreet Boys videos, this is the DVD to buy. Although incomplete, the videos present are in good quality. Maybe these missing videos will be released in the future. This is only "Chapter One" of their video hits, after all.

This Is Us (Limited Edition CD/DVD) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Wow...just wow...where to start?! Let me say that I have been a fan of theirs since BSB first came on the scene (we're talking concerts, ALL their cd's, etc - I've even met the guys, who are great btw) I'm still a fan and they are one of the only bands who cd I buy on release day, but I must say this is the first album I'm a bit disappointed in. I understand wanting to make a pop cd these days means dance songs but these songs (and their lyrics) are beneath, I think, the audience they started with in the beginning - I think the younger, newer, fans will probably enjoy this album more than ones who've been following the guys for awhile. I enjoy dance songs as much as the next person but BSB is known for making a great ballad and bringing out their beautiful harmonies and that aspect seems to be lost on this album. They aren't a "clubbin'" band so while it's great to see them getting in touch with their roots and going with some more upbeat music an entire album of songs that sound similar to each other just doesn't captivate me as much as some of their previous albums. I'm glad to have them back but I'm hoping the next album wont make them out to be a bunch of boys - as they are now men.

This Is Us: Special Edition (Incl. Bonus DVD) Review

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!

This is Us: 2010 Asian Tour Edition (Incl. Bonus Tracks + Bonus DVD) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a good investment because it has all the b-sides (that I know of) from around the world. The DVD is 30 min. half of which is footage of their Tokyo promotional activities including brief clips of a small outdoor concert they did there. The disc is playable on US players. It is not in anamorphic though which is annoying when you watch the "Straight Though My Heart" video which is filmed in a wide cinemascope and looks like a small postcard cut out on a widescreen tv. The Asian subtitles can be turned off using your remote. For some bizarre reason, the image of Jim Morrison on AJ's shirt is completely censored through the whole Bigger video and behind the scenes footage and it's very noticeable.
