Gone Gone Gone - Charlie Feathers

Advantages: Some pretty decent, atmospheric tracks
Disadvantages: Not many tracks written or co-written by the guys, not as much vocal harmony

...- Introduction/Background Information - Never Gone is the Backstreet Boys fifth original studio album, which came out in June 2005, after a turbulent time for all BSB fans'. Its the follow up to 2000s Black and Blue album (which I just reviewed a couple of days ago) and I know quite a few fans weren't sure if they would ever hear another album from the group after what happened in early 2002, with band member Nick deciding to take time out from the group and work on his own solo project and the group suing their record label, Jive, for a sizeable figure. The true outcome of that lawsuit was never really disclosed, its something I still wonder about to this day but never the less, a follow up to Black and Blue did indeed happen and was released some four and a half years after its predecessor.

Advantages: New tracks make it the complete project
Disadvantages: Very little difference to the original

...Back in June '07 when I reviewed the brand new album from a shy Barbados born girl, my closing comments were that -- whilst there is very clearly a clever, target-orientated, management team behind 19 year-old Rihanna -- 'Good Girl Gone Bad' signalled the growth from that beautiful butterfly into a woman.

Advantages: good song
Disadvantages: no enhancement on cd

...After the Love has gone was released in October 1999 and reached in at number two in the charts. This song is soo cool and has a great tune to it.This song has chineese theme to it which is interesting because Lisa's grandfather is chineese. Claire sings all of this song with a little help from the rest of the band on the chorus. The cd does not have an ehancement which is a shame. The b-side on this single is 'My best friend's girl' which is track thirteen on the steptacular album.There is also a mix of After the love has gone , which is not that good to be honest. The cassette comes with the full lyrics to after the love has gone! 9/10... Read review
