Millennium - Backstreet Boys

...they'll say Millennium. When Millennium was released, back in May 1999, the group were at their most popular. The release was heavily covered by MTV and large crowds showed up in Times Square just to catch a glimpse of them on the then very popular TRL show, among others probably (my memory is a little sketchy I admit). At one point, they even had to close roads because of the size of crowds there. The most well known track on Millennium is, of ...
...most well known songs, which finally gave them their first UK number 1 single. The recording academy in the US also noticed the album, as they were nominated for a number of different Grammy awards in the year 2000, however they weren't successful in winning any, losing out to Santana instead. Though they did appear during the ceremony, singing with Elton John (the song 'Philadelphia Freedom') and they also performed a short medley combining a few ...

Review of Millennium - Backstreet Boys

**Introduction** Released in 1999 this album was released to mark the Backstreet Boys career up until the Millenium hence it's title. This was the third studio album from the Backstreet Boys and their first where they wrote the majority of the songs. This album is the most succesful album release of their career to date and is one of the biggest selling pop albums of the last ten years or so. I was Fourteen years old at the time of the release and ...
...ten years on I have decided to review it for all you dooyoo members young and old and all in between. So without further ado. Here it is. **Track Listing** 1.) Larger than Life This was a huge hit single for the band and is a high energy pop song which is a great one to dance to. One of their best uptempo tracks. I still like this track nearly ten years on and the music is very catchy indeed. A great start to the album. 2.) I want it that way ...

Review of Millennium - Backstreet Boys

(Apologies for the original format!) This month's competition on Ciao is for album reviews, so my wife and I have resurrected a challenge we set each other last year of reviewing albums we would not consider to be the 'norm' for us. I have to admit, I have been quite timid with my choices for her, but she has gone to town on me, and this time is no exception. She has chosen 'Millennium' by The Backstreet Boys. Now I am familiar with the group and ...
...their music, but I would not go as far as call them fans, but having to listen to a full CD of their stuff is not the way I like to spend my afternoons! The group were brought together (I will not use the word manufactured) in the early 1990's, by a man called Lou Pearlman, who later went on to be the head honcho on 'Making The Band' on MTV which brought us the completely forgettable 'O-Town'. See....I know my stuff! After endless auditions I am ...

Review of Millennium - Backstreet Boys

...copies of their third album MILLENNIUM all over the world! * The album * The album, Millennium was released in the summer of 1998! There are 12 tracks on the album: 1. Larger Than Life This was the second song released as a single from the MILLENNIUM album! Although the video cost more to make the single didn't do as well in the UK as the first single to be released from the album, I Want It That Way! It was written by Brian of BSB, Max Martin ...
...the third single from the MILLENNIUM album! This begins very slow and boring but the chorus is quite catchy! I think this is just a boring ballad and I think it's probably the worst song on the album! Lots of instruments are played in this song including the guitar and the bass! It was written by Max Martin and Herbet Crichlow. Howie said "It's got some Spanish-style acoustic guitars in it. It's cool." I give it 4/10 4. It's Gotta Be You This ...

Review of Millennium - Backstreet Boys

This is the Backstreet Boys’ best and most mature album so far. All the songs are good. Two were written by members of the group and although in my opinion these aren’t quite as good as the others, I think it is great that they are getting more involved in the music and showing that they unlike many other pop-groups may have some talent. There’s a good mix of styles on the album. It will take a long time to get bored of this one. The singles represent ...

Review of Millennium - Backstreet Boys

I've been a follower of Backstreet Boys for quite a while, although they aren't my fave band. I've heard all the albums and have seen them in concert. Out of all the albums although they are all good, this album is my favourite. There isn't exactly that many tracks on the album (12), but every song on it is enjoyable, with "Back To Your Heart" being my favourite. I wouldn't have minded going to the concert to see them sing these songs, only problem ...

Review of Millennium - Backstreet Boys

What a fantastic song 'I Want It That Way' is!! It is my favourite Backstreet Boys song ever and I love it! In my opinion this is the best song the Backstreet boys have ever done. I have always liked the backstreet Boys and I bught all of their albums. I like all of their songs (well most of them anyway!) but I like this one best of all. It is such a beautiful ballad and from the moment I heard it I couldn't get it out of my head. I hope there are ...

Review of Millennium - Backstreet Boys

This album is a very good album by Backstreet Boys. It has a mixture of ballads and songs like " Larger Than Life" although it does sound like a lot of other typical bot bands, I don't think I can criticise them for that as I think Backstreet Boys were one of the first boy bands around and then "N-Sync" were cloned. I love the album and I never get bored of it I could listen to it over and over again and would never get bored of it. The inlay of ...

Review of Millennium - Backstreet Boys

If I get started talking about the best band in the whole world I'll never stop! Backstreet Boys are without doubt an extremely talented group of 5 American guys, who can not only sing and dance well, but can also manage to do both at the same time and still sound fab. How many groups now appear on Top Of The Pops and mime their way through their latest song? Too many! Backstreet Boys ALWAYS sing live, even when they are performing a dance routine ...
...they sound fantastic both in the recoding studio and out of it. Myself and my daughter went to see them in Concert at Earl's Court last year and boy, were they fantastic! The show was unbelievable, they had some amazing stunts that they did, and we came away knowing that it was the best concert we were ever likely to see. Their albums sell in millions - we have all of them - and there is always a good mix of up tempo songs and ballads. Brian Littrell ...

Review of Millennium - Backstreet Boys

Millennium by the Backstreet Boys is the best out of all four (or in my case five) of their albums. First is the album Backstreet Boys, then there is Backstreet’s Back, then there is Millennium and then there is Black and Blue. Millennium starts off with the catchy Larger than life. It is written by Max Martin, Kristian Lundin and Brian Littrell. This song is very uptempo and is a great way to start the album. It is dedicated to the backstreet ...
...up of clips from their millennium tour. The video and the song is really good. Back To Your Heart is next. It is written by Kevin Richardson, Gary Baker and Jason Blune. This song starts of quite boring but by the time the chorus comes it picks up a little. This song is a ballad is good when it gets into the song. Spanish Eyes is next and it is written by Andrew Fromm and Sandy Linzer. This song reminds me of Howie because of the title. It kinda ...

Review of Millennium - Backstreet Boys

I bought this album because I like their singles, and it got fantastic reviews. The first half is great, 'Larger Than Life' sets things off to a storming pace and 'I Want It That Way' is amazing, as is 'Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely'. 'It's Gotta Be You', not to be mistaken with their counterpart 'N Sync's song 'It's Gonna Be Me', is another great upbeat pop tune. 'Don't Want You Back' and 'The One' are the only other two tracks that stand ...
...and not particularly memorable for me. If you want this style but more upbeat, get 'No Strings Attached' by 'N Sync - on that, there's only about four slow songs and their all conveniently put at the end so you can stop at about track 10. You can do that here too, but you don't feel stopping at track 4 is really value for money. ...

...got it all. I'm sure this album would appeal to male or female, young and old. Millennium is one of the fastest selling albums ever, and the Backstreet Boys definitely deserve all the credit they get. These boys can sing, and they're damn good at it too! ...

Review of Millennium - Backstreet Boys

To anyone who does not like the Backstreet Boys, stop being to judgemental and listen to their songs without being bias and you may actually like what you hear. This album is totally original, fresh, and these men certainly have great voices. It was nominated for four Grammy's and I think it deserved all of the recognition it received. Each song is different and it appeals to every type of person. It is not just pop music, I know adults who love ...
...is so anti-pop music, actually likes the Backstreet Boys and if he likes them, then the whole world should. To anyone with doubts about if this is a great album or not, just listen to it once and you'll be hooked. And as a die hard BSB fan I have to say that anyone who likes NSync better than BSB, you must be crazy! Go Buy it and you'll thank me!! ...

Review of Millennium - Backstreet Boys

This album was a massive success for the boyz near christmas time. It not only contains the giganticle hit "i want it that way" but also the more recent singles "the one" and "larger than life". This album is quite different from their others as the music is more electrical rather than good old fasioned guitars and stuff, but I can't work out whether I like it more or not. This is quite a interesting album as most of the songs are pretty different, ...

Review of Millennium - Backstreet Boys

I got this cd at christmas, and have hardly stopped listening to it since. It's really good, and unlike many other cd's right not, all the tracks are really different and original. I love their hit single I want it that way, and thats one that's always played at a disco. It also has other hits such as "the one" and "larger than life". This is a must-have for any pop lover, and for about £12, is well worth it. People may say "its just another boy ...
