The Backstreet Boys made their debut in 1996 when they dropped a self-entitled record and managed to get their first hints of the sort of success that they would see as their career would develop. Consisting of Nick Carter, Brian Littrell, AC McLean, Howie Dorough and Kevin Richardson, the Pop group only saw minor levels of success up to this point with their market directed to teeny-boppers at a time before 'manufactured-Pop' was prevalent. In spite of this, they were stil able to gather a following which would see them rise to fruition by their second release and the single "Backstreet's Back". 1. "We've Got It Goin' On" They ...  Read the complete review

Taking you back to an era when it was all boybands and dance routines and baseball caps, well sort of. This group started off slowly, taking a while to make their mark, but when they did arrive, they did it with a bang. Who are they: US pop group, comprising Nick, AJ , Howie, Bryan and Kevin. Kevin later left the group. On this album: 'We've Got It Goin On' is one of those moments that will forever be stuck in my memory, a brash boybandy chorus and the kind of hook New Kids On The Block would be jealous of. It is catchy, fun and begging for you to do a dance routine to it! Highlights: The soppy 'Anywhere ...  Read the complete review

...Introduction... For my latest review I have decded to review an album that I spent much of the early part of my teens listening to. It was released in May 1996 when I was 11 years old (12 in December that year), It is one of the few albums I still listen to from my pop phase.

Being one of the first bands of their kind of the new pop era they started off their career recording songs that were written for them as opposed to later on writing and recording their own lyrics which is what has kept them being a popular ...  Read the complete review

I bought this CD after listening to (and thoroughly enjoying) Millennium -- While I feel that Millennium shows an enormous growth pattern I truly enjoyed this CD. I have purchased what for me is the import (Australian release) which includes "Missing You" I really enjoyed this song and all the other songs on this CD. The harmonies that this group is capable of just amaze me! I predict that they will be around for many many years to come. While each "boy" has his own unique sound and is totally capable of a solo career, the sound they produce when harmonizing is phenomonal! I am looking forward to their new release and to comparing the past and ..  Read the complete review

Any chance to rave on about my favourite group and I'm there, as you will see from my other opinions about those gorgeous, talented fivesome - Backstreet Boys! Backstreet's Back is the second album to come from the boys, and of course is an all-time favourite of mine along with all their other albums. ******************* The first song on the album is the classic 'Everybody.' This is a favourite of a lot of people, whether they are Backstreet fans or not and great to sing along to. My daughter Kelly says it is always played at her local on Halloween - just the right kind of song for that occasion! The ...  Read the complete review
