Backstreet's Back

Description

Product description NEW CD - BACKSTREET BOYS Backstreet's Back (1997 Jive German 11-track enhanced CD album including Everybody with original picture sleeve) - EAN 5013705168420 desertcart.co.uk Any obsessive Backstreet fan, please look away now--the following statement might make you cry. The BBs are different from the clutch of boy bands from both side of the Atlantic (from New Kids to Boyzone) because none of them are actually that good looking. AAARGH! Don't kill the messenger, this is meant nicely. It took four years for them to find worldwide success (better-lookers would have done it quicker, but better-lookers wouldn't be so talented), but from 1995-99 the five boys (AJ, Howie, Nick, Kevin and Brian) slogged their guts out, singing their harmonies and winning loyal support. This album, their second in Europe, came just as they were established here, and were getting started with their old material in their native USA. The opening three tracks, all killers, prove their pop mettle: the howlingly dirty "Backstreet's Back", "As Long As You Love Me" and "All I Have To Give". Wierdest track, and strangely satisfying with it, is their harmony-fest take on PM Dawn's "Set Adrift On Memory Bliss", a frat-boy serenade to all us eternal teens everywhere. --Charlie Porter
