Query: Black and Blue? Not so good, after all...

I was quite anxious to hear what the Backstreet Boys could come up with on this album. I was expecting a great follow up album from "Millennium". What I got, however, was digitally altered noise and velveeta cheese in the form of music. Now, I love boy bands and pop music like I love air, but there is a fine line between sweet lyrics and pure corn. The Backstreet Boys crossed that line by the second track, possibly even the first. Too busy trying to boot rivals *NSYNC from the top and reclaim the title of fastest selling album, the guys seem more focused on sales figures than quality music. If it's humor you're looking for, listen to "The Call". This song will NOT bring them respect in the musical community. (I gave this album one star just for the laugh that track gave me) Predictable rhymes run rampant on this album, which make the songs yawn worthy. While trying to "take it to the next level" the boys have lost their roots, and at least one fan: me.
