<p>Don't be scared, mom and dad; though the Backstreet Boys employ a little rapping and hip-hop beat wizardy in their dance-pop amalgam, there's no R-rated gangsta mythology at work on their self-titled debut smash. And though this quartet of video-friendly fresh-faced boys has garnered many superficial comparisons to former teen idols New Kids On The Block, the Backstreet Boys sound has a bit more going for it. A more streetwise approach, hook-filled arrangements, a distinctive mixture of rapping and vocal harmonies and an endless supply of floor-shaking dance beats are the distinguishing marks of these platinum-plus pop poster boys.

- They've Got it Goin' On.....Now and Forever!
This CD has a mix of everything from r&b, pop, and soft ballads. Here is a review on their whole CD.
1. "We've Got it Goin' On" has a great beat. The song says it all about the Backstreet Boys. Even though I agree with the idea, but I don't really like it because I kind of like soft ballads. 3 out of 5
2. "Quit Playing Games With My Heart" has great lyrics and it's a really cute song 5 out of 5
3. "As Long as You Love Me" explains that even though they are a unique song. 5 out of 5
4. "Backstreet's Back" is my least favorite because it has a lot group, they have different personality. It's a very cool and of repeating lyrics which reminds of Nsync. (Not a good thing)3 out of 5
5. "All I have Give" is the sweetest song I have ever heard. It tells that even though a guy buys you a lot of cool stuff, and spends a lot of money on you, he doesn't give you enough time or love. 5 out of 5
6. "Anywhere for you" has great music and lyrics that can melt you. 5 out of 5
7. "Hey Mr. DJ" nice, kind of an r and b sound, great beat, and cool dance song. 5 out of 5
8. "I'll Never Break Your Heart" is very mature, sincere, and beautiful lyrics. 10 out of 5.
9. "Darlin" not exactly my favorite song, but it's an okay. It's one of those songs you don't want to hear too many times. 4 out of 5
10. "Get Down" Cool song. I love it. Get up and dance everybody! 5 out of 5
11. "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss" is a nice, soft song. It just puts me to sleep. zzzzzzzzzz....zzzzzzzzz....zzzzzzzz 5 out of 5
12. "If You Want it to be Good Girl" cool song, a little different from Backstreet style. 5 out of 5

- This is a great, wonderful, fab, cool, awesome, terrific CD.
While listing to this CD I found myself dancing, and singing. I couldn't put down this CD, everywhere I went the CD went with me. There are a bunch of up beat songs on the CD like "Boys will be boys," "Lets have a party," & "Roll with it." There are some great mellow songs too, like "Just to be close to you," "Everytime I close my eyes," & "Don't leave me." The Backstreet Boys made awesome harmony in this CD. If you are a Backstreet Boys fan then this CD is a must-have. Michelle (Los Angeles, CA) - December 20, 1999

- AMAZING!
I absolutely love this CD. It contains my favorite BSB song ever, Just To Be Close To You. It is an amzingly sweet slow song, and I know you'll enjoy it too. It is not as good as Millennium, but you can really see a difference between the two albums. They have grown so much. If you are a die-hard BSB fan like I am, you will love this CD. It is mostly upbeat (Everytime I close My Eyes, Boys Will Be Boys, I Wanna Be With You), but it really displays their pleasant voices. The bonus tracks make this CD an even better buy. Get it! 9 of 11 people found the following review helpful:
- Read My Review
I actually liked this cd! Even though almost everyone I know HATES the Backstreet Boys I actually think some of their material is actually good. This cd was better then Millenium though.
1.We've Got It Goin' On OK track, it sounds like Everybody(Backstreet's Back) 2.Quit Playin' Games(With My Heart) I liked this pop song. It's one of the reasons I bought this album.
3.As Long As You Love Me See Quit Playin' Games(With My Heart)
4.Everybody(Backstreet's Back) I loved this dance song. Though it sounds like We've Got It Goin' On, it's better. Catchy.
5.All I Have To Give Nice ballad.
6.Anywhere For You See All I Have To Give.
7.Hey Mr. DJ(Keep Playin' This Song) Nice dance track. Catchy.
8.I'll Never Break Your Heart See All I Have To Give and Anywhere For You.
9.Darlin' Didn't like it much.
10.Get Down(You're The One For Me) See Hey Mr. DJ(Keep Playin' This Song). I also liked Kevin Richardson's rapping.
11.Set Adrift On Memory Bliss
See Darlin'. Confusing.
12.If You Want It To Be Good Girl(Get Yourself A Bad Boy) See Hey Mr. DJ(Keep Playin' This Song).
Overall I really liked this cd except for Darlin' and Set Adrift On Memory Bliss. My favorite songs are Quit Playin' Games(With My Heart), As Long As You Love Me, Everybody(Backstreet's Back), All I Have To Give, Hey Mr. DJ(Keep Playin' This Song), I'll Never Break You're Heart, Get down(You're The One For Me), and If You Want It To Be Good Girl(Get Yourself A Bad Boy). I'd buy this iif I were you. I can't wait until the new Backstreet Boys album comes out in September. I'm going to buy that one too.
