Bye Bye Bye
(Kristian Lundin/Jake/Andreas Carlsson)
"I loved you endlessly, when you weren't there for me.."

I am REALLY diggin' this song. I think I have a thing for the first singles they always come out with. But this song is really good. It's a different kinda song for them. Tellin' that girl "Bye Bye Bye" Haha, bye bye honey! They don't want yo' ass no more!
Score:9

Its Gonna Be Me
(Max Martin/Rami/Andreas Carlsson)
"I remember you told me, that it made you believe in no man, no cry, maybe thats why.."

Ahh yes. Justin gets to display his beat-boxing *skilllz* in the beginning of this song. I don't mind it though, I've actually grown quite fond of it. I really like this song. Makes me wanna jump up and down like a spazztic JC wannabe.
Score:9 1/2

Space Cowboy (Yippie-Yi-Yay)
(JC Chasez/Alex Greggs/Bradley Daymond/Lisa Lopes/Inga Willis)
"Riprock, AG, Come in.. over. Yo, turn me up. I wanna be heard..."

Can I just get a HELL YEAH for JC? He co-wrote this song! WHOO HOO, BABY GOT SKILLS! But anyways, HAHAHAHAHAHA!! This song is MAD funny! They're singing " Why Yi Yi Yi Yippie Yi Yay" Oh my God..LMAO! All I can imagine is them wearing cowboy hats and doing a little cowboy dance. Then Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes comes in and raps. Nsync's trying to add a rap edge to their sound..they're such "Thugs" But I think Lisa did a really good job, and I'm glad they collaborated with her. Good going guys!
Score: 8 1/2

Just Got Paid
(Teddy Riley/Gene Griffin/Aaron Hall/Johnny Kemp)
"And you'll notice my smile's like koolaid, 'cuz I just got paid.."

I like THIS song too! Even though it sounds kinda like a disco song, but thats ok I guess...Another thing...JUSTIN AND CHRIS RAP!!! HAHAHAHA! Ahem....HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! They're bringing out their "Thug Appeal" JC must be jealous..Justin pulls it off though, he doesn't sound half bad. Good boy Justy! And when he sings "Check the mirror, lookin' fly, round up the posse, jump in my ride" haha. Lookin' fly? conceited much hun? His "posse"? okie..You're cool Justin! When we all know your "posse" is Lance, Chris, Joey, and JC.. *cough* Wouldn't this song be cool if it was called "Just Got Laid"? Haha, thats me and my sister's new version for it. You know thats what it was supposed to be called but management made them change it!!
Score: 9

It Makes Me Ill
(Kevin Briggs/Kandi)
"He's not the type you said you liked, his style's wack, cloths are bad, come on girl, let him go, I want you back.."

There's a weird popping sound in the beginning of this song, and ITS FREAKIN' ANNOYING!! MAKE IT STOP!! Anyways.."It makes me ill cuz she used to be my girl" It makes them ill? Usually you'd say something like "It makes me sad" but ill? They're weird..FREAKIN WEIRDOS I TELL YA!!! But, other than that, I like this song a lot. It rocks :)
Score: 8

This I Promise You
(Richard Marx)
"Over and over I fall, when I hear you call.. Without you in my life, baby, I just wouldn't be living at all.."

VERY VERY Nice song. I love it. "And I will take you in my arms and hold you right where you belong, till the day my life is through, this I promise you" Awwwwwww :*) This song is so sweet! I feel like a fuckin' teenybopper, but this song is just TOO good! This is my fave song on the album.
Score: 10

No Strings Attached
(JC Chasez/Alex Greggs/Bradley Daymond)
"Baby you're not the only one, you don't have to be afraid to fall in love..."

Another song co-written by JC! You go boy! Go JC! Go JC! Its yo birthday! *ahem* Nice upbeat song. Makes me want to get up and dance like there's no tomorrow. It makes me wanna get up and pump my fists in the air like a cheerleader gone wild. I like when JC sings "No Strings Attached" its funny..for some reason, it is..I'm weird, I know..DON'T ASK!! ""Its a lesson to be learned, even the good guys get burned" haha. Is JC implying he's a "good" guy? Sure ya are hun, mmmhmm, yup, okie.
Score: 7

Digital Get Down
(JC Chasez/Veit Renn/David Nicoll)
"I lose my mind just when you're speaking, I see you on the screen I get to freakin', so get down babe, and I'll get down for you.."

Leave it to JC to help write the most sexual song on the album! I KNEW YA HAD IT IN YA BOY! Ok, on to the review.. Oh my God, when I first listened to this song, for some reason, I though they said "20,000 miles away, I can see ya naked and baby baby you can see me" I was like WHAT?!! Whoa, stop, go back. Then I realized they said "I can see ya and baby baby you can see me" I don't know know where I got "naked" from, don't ask. I wasn't thinking impure thoughts or anything.. Another thing..HOLY SHIT! THIS SONG IS SEXUAL!! Some lyrics to SERIOSLY ponder.." "Baby baby we can do all that we want, we can get nasty nasty, we can get freaky deaky" okie! "Everytime I'm sitting home alone girl, I can't wait to get you on the phone girl, so pick it babe, I can see everything you do" Umm, can we say phone sex? right.."I love the things you do for me so late at night, you turn me on babe" Really now Justin? I never expected this.."I see you on the screen I get to freakin', so get down babe, and I'll get down for you " I'm just gonna leave that one stand by itself.." "I get so excited when I'm watchin' girl, I can't wait to see you touch your body girl, its just me and you, so we can do what we gotta do" RIGHT ON JC! GET DOWN WITH YO HORNY SELF!
Score: 10 (pure entertainment :)

Bringin' Da Noise
(Veit Renn/JC Chasez)
"Said c'mon c'mon lets raise the roof, and give 'em proof, that we can get loose ya'll.."

Ok, JC might have co-wrote this, but I think they let Justin pick the title for this one. Its all in ebonics. STOP LETTING JUSTIN DO THINGS GUYS! Just let him sit there and look pretty mmkay? Theres not much to say about this song. Except they're like "come on come on lets raise the roof" I thought that was kinda funny and I kept getting this image in my head of Justin raising the roof as JC beat him in the head with a stick. Don't ask.. really.. Its an upbeat dance song. Typical.
Score: 7

That's When I'll Stop Loving You
(Diane Warren)
"You're afraid it all might end.. and a broken heart, is scared of breaking again.."

Can I just say "I LOVE DIANE WARREN"??? This song is beautiful. "When winter comes in summer, when there's no more forever, when lies become the truth, oh you know then baby thats when I'll stop loving, thats when I'll stop loving you" Awwww. Another "tearjerker" song. I always like their slow songs, and this one's no exception. Its real sweet and has a nice melody to it. I LOVE it! :)
Score: 10

I'll Be Good For You
(Kevin Antunes/Justin Timberlake/Theodore Pendergrass/Reginald Calloway/Vincent Calloway)
"I know your heart's anticipating, and my love is on your mind.."

Justin "TENNMAN" Timberlake is in da HOUSE! Not only did he co-write this song, he helped PRODUCE it too! GO BOY GO BOY GO! This song has a nice up-tempo beat to it. It makes you wanna just stand there and sway back and forth. The only thing I have a problem with: the clapping in the background. Please get rid of it before I have to take a gun to my CD player, thanx. Other than that, I like this song. WORD TO DA J-DAWG!
Score: 9

I Thought She Knew
(Robin Wiley)
"A heart full of words left unspoken.. Now that we're through..."

This is an amazing song. I love, love, LOVE it. I mean, who knew Joey could sing? He has a great voice! LET HIM SING MORE DAMNIT! And Chris sounds beautiful too. Now tell me, how many boybands out there today can sing like THIS acapella?? *crickets chirping* Thats what I thought.
Score: 9 1/2

All in all, this is a great CD. I don't even hate one song. Imagine if they would have had a "Giddy Up: Part 2"? *shivers* Scary..Anyways, Good job guys!
