EXTD=RT REVIEW: The Backstreet Boys finally broke (and broke big) in \nAmeri
EXTD=ca during 1998, as if by design. They had been Euro sensations for \na 
EXTD=couple of years, but it wasn't until Backstreet's Back was unleashed \n
EXTD=in the U.S. in 1997 that they had a presence in the States, and it was 
EXTD=\nno small presence, either -- after selling over ten million copies, t
EXTD=he \nalbum remained in the Top 40 on the eve of the release of its sequ
EXTD=el, \nMillennium. And sequel is the appropriate word -- Millennium has 
EXTD=no pretense \nof being anything other than an album for the moment, del
EXTD=ivering more \nof everything that made Backstreet's Back a blockbuster.
EXTD= There's a familiar \nblend of ballads and dance-pop, a similar shiny p
EXTD=roduction, a reliance \non the Boys' charisma that brings to mind the d
EXTD=ebut. If Millennium were \nanything other than big, glossy mainstream p
EXTD=op, such calculation may be \na little unseemly, but in this context, i
EXTD=t can be rather fun. True, the \nalbum doesn't pack as much punch as it
EXTD=s predecessor -- there's a number \nof good songs, but more filler than
EXTD= before, and the Backstreet sound isn't \nas fresh as it was the first 
EXTD=time around -- but it does deliver what fans \nwant: more of the same. 
EXTD=And since there are singles as infectious as "I \nWant It That Way" and
EXTD= a handful of good ballads, that will be enough to \nsatisfy anyone cra

EXTD=\nrange of style and emotion, fun and well thought out lyrics, and grea
EXTD=t \nvocal harmonics. \n\nWith 5 major hits already, you can't go wrong 
EXTD=purchasing this release, \neven if the rest wasn't as great. But there'
EXTD=s no fear of that -- these \nare 12 gems you be singing along with for 
EXTD=a long time. "Larger Than Life" \nis a huge power dance tune with great
EXTD= lyrics and an undeniable groove, \nI've car danced to this song freque
EXTD=ntly on my commute. A smooth groove, \n"I Want It That Way" is a boppy 
EXTD=ballad with great harmonics that are fun \nto sing along with. "Show Me
EXTD= the Meaning of Being Lonely" is a power ballad \nthat features strong 
EXTD=orchestration, vocals and lyrics. "It's Gotta Be \nYou" is a funky danc
EXTD=e groove with great attitude for the dance floor. \nA silky smooth ball
EXTD=ad that features beautiful piano and vocals, "I Need \nYou Tonight" wil
EXTD=l send chills down your spine with its emotional power. \n"Don't Want Y
EXTD=ou Back" is a fantastic power attitude song that features \nfunky synco
EXTD=pation and a great chorus. Though it might sound trite, "Don't \nWanna 
EXTD=Lose You Now" is a fantastic ballad that features powerful orchestratio
EXTD=n \nand vocal harmonies. "The One" is another fun, uplifting, sway-alon
EXTD=g dance \ntune that creates a great positive attitude. The final 4 song
EXTD=s are ballads, \nhowever these are much lower-key in orchestration, all
EXTD=owing the Boys to \nshowcase their vocal and harmonic depth. "Back to Y
EXTD=our Heart" features \nminimal guitar and percussion; the depth comes fr
EXTD=om the richness of the \nBoys' voices. With little orchestration, "Span
EXTD=ish Eyes" concentrates on \nthe harmonies, however they seem a bit off 
EXTD=and strained. "No One Else \nComes Close" is nice with really great bac
EXTD=king vocals, and kudos for the \nbridge key change. We conclude with "T
EXTD=he Perfect Fan" which has an anthemic \nfeel with its power orchestrati
EXTD=on elements and a backing choir that help \nheighten the emotional inte
EXTD=nsity of this beautiful ballad dedicated to \nmothers everywhere. \n\nD
EXTD=oing a review of this CD is somewhat out of character for me. I have \n
EXTD=had this CD for less than a year. And I am not a BSB fan; I didn't buy 
EXTD=\ntheir first album, and I don't know any of their names and couldn't p
EXTD=ick \nthem out of a lineup. However, what BSB have released here is a s
EXTD=trong \npiece of pop music for the new millennium. This isn't a release
EXTD= you can \nsimply listen to once and then put back on the shelf. It wil
EXTD=l be interesting \nto see 10 years down the road, but I have a strong f
EXTD=eeling this CD will \nstill be with many of us and bring fond memories.
EXTD= While originally thinking \nI'd give it 4 stars (since it's so new to 
EXTD=my collection), this most recent \nlisten convinces me that a low 5 sta
EXTD=r rating is really in order -- it \nreally is that solid. \n\nMy recomm
EXTD=endation is if you've liked what you've heard on the radio thus \nfar, 
EXTD=you can't go wrong buying this CD. Forget the fact that they are \nthe 
EXTD=most recent boy band that every teen and pre-teen girl in America \nis 
EXTD=screaming over. Forget the fact they get probably way too much air \npl
EXTD=ay on MTV and the Top 40 stations. Get away from the kids or friends \n
EXTD=who play this release 24/7. Give it a serious listen by yourself, and 
EXTD=\nyou will come to realize there is no shame in admitting you like BSB.
EXTD= \nBeyond all the hype, they really do have talent. And how many pop st
EXTD=ars \ncan you truly say that about? \n\nStand proud with your copy of M
EXTD=illennium. It really is a great addition \nto any pop music collection.

EXTD=st CD, March 23, 2005\nReviewer: Ryan A. Rigg\nThe reviews of this CD s
EXTD=eem to be very polarized. Either people love them \nor hate them. I sup
EXTD=pose a lot of the backlash is from rockers who hate \nboy bands. A lot 
EXTD=of people put down this type of pop music saying that \nthese artist do
EXTD=n't last long and that there music is disposable or forgettable. \nWhat
EXTD= people don't realize is that ALL music is used up and forgotten. \nSim
EXTD=ilarly, most artists have a limited shelf-life, after which they become
EXTD= \n"oldies" artists. This is largely due to the fact that most music co
EXTD=nsumers \nare kids in their teens and twenties, and they are not going 
EXTD=to buy a \nCD by someone over 40. So, yes, the Backstreet Boys time has
EXTD= come and \ngone, and maybe their music was disposable. But the same th
EXTD=ing has happened \nto the supposedly more serious artists of that era. 
EXTD=When was the last \ntime you heard a hit from the Gin Blossoms, Toad th
EXTD=e Wet Sprocket, or \nHootie & the Blowfish? These groups were taken ser
EXTD=iously because they \nwere bands that played instruments and wrote song
EXTD=s, but they have been \ndiscarded the same way that the boy bands have.
EXTD= \n\nWell, enough of my rant. On to reviewing this album. I don't like 
EXTD=it as \nmuch as I like their debut album. Certain tracks stand out, suc
EXTD=h as "Larger \nthan Life", "The One", and "Show me the Meaning of Being
EXTD= Lonely". "I Want \nit That Way" is catchy, but I could never really fi
EXTD=gure out what the song \nmeans. "Don't Want You Back" incorporates one 
EXTD=of my pet peaves in recent \nmusic: using pops and hisses to make it so
EXTD=und like an old scratchy vinyl \nrecord. Listen kids, I used to have to
EXTD= suffer through pops and scratches \non records. It wasn't fun. If I am
EXTD= buying a CD, I want crisp, clear music. \nSimulating scratchy vinyl re
EXTD=cords is just a waste of digital technology. \n"The Perfect Fan" enters
EXTD= into gag-inducing sweetness as an ode to mothers \nbeing "the perfect 
EXTD=fan". The music is good, but the energy of the first \nalbum has been l
EXTD=ost in the overproduction of this sophomore effort. But \nwell worth bu
EXTD=ying for some of the key tracks. \n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nApprop
