Disco de Backstreet Boys: “Inconsolable [Japan CD]”

To be honest I wasn't expecting much from The Boys, especially since they have lost a supposedly "key" member of their group. But I was pleasantly surprised. My musically talented wife and I have been partial to the BSB for a while now, and after two full listens we believe this CD shows off their vocal abilities in a package that is once again accessible to a mainstream audience. Yes there are some "old school" BSB offerings (for any fans out there, you know about those dramatic pauses followed by a crescendo), two or three songs have a little bit of a redundant sound, but the rest of the CD progresses and matures to the point where I found myself saying "why did they choose Inconsolable as their first song to release to radio/MTV/etc.?" 90% of the songs on the CD are better than that one.

An entertaining, accessible, and musically/vocally rich album from the evolved and durable boy band. Good male vocals from upstanding citizens are a rarity these days, and that that is worth the purchase in itself.

The guys did a good job. Must admitt I was skeptical about thier sound since they lost a member. But they sound great, can't wait for the entire cd. And to those that dislike their music how ridiculous you ppl are to waste your time on a group you supposedly don't like.

For as long as I've been a fan(10 years), I've always thought every album the boys put out topped the last. I get the feeling that "Unbreakable" will follow the pattern. "Inconsolable" is so beautiful not only because of its melody, but also for its depth. Additionally, the boys retain their original sound although they now harmonize without Kevin's help. I think "Inconsolable" will definitely be another chart-topper.

Good tune. Their latest CD is awesome too. Even though Kevin's absent, they're still Backstreet.

I first had to be sure that this was the purchase that was worth the wait, and this was definitely worth the wait! I didn't really see what the worry was all about in the first place.

Granted, you do notice that there is an absence of one individual, (Kevin Richardson) but you can't barely tell that there is one voice missing in the background. But the voices sound just a great as they did, when they last appeared together.

If you haven't bought this album yet, you are going to have a hard time convincing me otherwise why you haven't!
