I admit it: I was afraid to review the new Backstreet Boys CD. I mean, what if it wasn't good? How would I deal with the scads of hate mail I'd be sure to get if I criticized the beloved BSB? Well thank my lucky stars, I was worrying for nothing. Millennium is flat-out one of the best CD's released in 1999. From the amazing first single "I Want It That Way" (on which we get to hear each of the five Backstreeters' distinctive voices) to the truly heartbreaking "Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely" (co-written by Brian!), a musical thank-you note to BSB's fans--and a perfect song to use as background music on your answering machine, trust me. There's a funky "Don't Want You Back," where the boys say goodbye to a backstabbing girlfriend. (Hey! What kind of skank would cheat on a Backstreet Boy?) And there's the romantically riveting "Don't Wanna Lose You Now." Yowza! I could go on and on (and on), but chances are, you already own this disc, so you know how darn good it is. So if you don't mind, I'm gonna end my review here and get back to my CD player for another listen to Millennium!
