*** It's really quite run of the mill. Very formulaic songs with overproduced back beats. The worst thing is that very few of the tracks are really that catchy, which is quite a shame. Justin Timberlake sounds good though, as does JC Chasez and the ballads are nice. Also their harmonising is good but there's just nothing edgy or interesting about this besides the singles. Haven't listened to any of their other albums but I feel like this would probably end up being their best. <br><br>To be fair, I've never really been a fan of N-Sync so that could probably explain it. Favourite songs from the album: This I Promise You, It's Gonna Be Me and I Thought She Knew. Song to avoid: Digital Get Down.
***** Genialer Longplayer!<br><br>Gefällt mir auch besser als das erste Album.<br>Einige favourites: Bye Bye Bye, Space Cowboy, I'll Never Stop, Bringin' Da Noise, This I Promise You, It's Gonna Be Me<br><br>Die konnten wenigstens zugleich perfekt singen und tanzen.<br><br>
****** Für mich DER Boyband-Album! Zwar sind nicht alle Songs super gut, es gibt aber ein Paar Megasongs aus meine Teenie-Zeit. <br><br>Highlights: Bye Bye Bye / It's Gonna Be M(ay)e / No Strings Attached / I'll Never Stop / If I'm Not The One
