Pre-NSA songs
I actually don't have their first album(Don't hate me!)but it's all good because TUMH, GMHSALMTOY, IDMC, etc have been on TRL more times than Joey has changed his hair, and I've been able to get some of the other songs through mp3 and wavs. Anyway, on with the critiques, in no particular order.
*Tearin' Up My Heart: You know, the one that made them popular in the states? If truth be told, when it came out, I liked it a lot more than BSB's "As Long as You Love Me." I guess I just like this type of techno-pop more(They call it dirty pop these days...). The song's phat. It's the type I can get into, you know?
*I Want You Back: I wasn't crazy about the melody at first but it grew on me. Again, the style was what I liked, besides it really brought out *NSYNC's outstanding backup harmony.
*Some Dreams: Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Some dreams just fade away...! As you can tell, I like this song a lot, it's the main title of the site for Chrissakes. Just listen to it, isn't it great?
*Best of My Life: Don't really have an opinion, pretty cool with some tight tunes, but pretty slow-moving, and I'm not too into these ballads that take forever to get to their point.
*Here We Go: A very good party song, even better performed live. Really works those harmonies, even though the parts that go "Yes yes yes here we go!" gets constipated after a while. I like how every member really gets into it.
*Together Again: Another really slow moving ballad...but it's all cool, 'cause the vocals are, once again, tight as all their buns put together.
*Giddyup: Ride it ride it ride it ride it ride it ride it ride it ride it ride it ride it ride it ride it ride it ride it ride it ride it ride it ride it ride it ride it giddyup now. I love this song, it's so funky and western, they should've made it into a video.
*Forever Young: At first I thought this was a rendition of the "Forever Young" that played at the end of Free Willy 2(Ignore me), which was immensely good too, but once again I must stress the ultimacy of techno-pop mixed with their awesome harmonies.
*Sailing: Song doesn't do a lot for me, but it might for you; I can see the parts where other people would be pumped. It's the one they play when they all sail over the fans' heads and make them have spasms.
*God Must Have Spent a Little More Time on You: Read my opinion of this song in my group page. It's so good. It's the song that got me into *NSYNC. It's slow, yet fast, sad, yet happy. If I had to pick one song to listen to over and over again, this would be it. It totally changed my views on Justin's voice; Brotha, you have my permission to sing.
*Here and Now: Really slow ballad, but this one's good 'cause it really brings out all of their voices so well. I'M SO FREAKIN' JEALOUS! Okay, okay breathe. Anyway, it also gets really good towards the end. Yeah you go Joey. He's that really high thing. I've heard that Lance has a solo in this one that starts on "So many intentions..." but everyone keeps telling me different things!
*I Drive Myself Crazy: At first, I wasn't able to get into this song very much despite Chris' awesomeness(Is that a word?). It was the first time I heard JC get a bad part("WHAAAAAAHHHHYYY didn't I know it..."). Later it grew on me, a lot, and now I love it. There's another version of this song on the Winter Album that has JC doing the starting solo.
*If Only Through Heaven's Eyes: Once more, one of those songs that just seem to shove *NSYNC's amazing harmonies down your throat(In a good way?). Listen for the part where they all go "Strong-strong-strong-STRONG" and you will be introduced to a world of Lance. That last STRONG would be him singing. Basses are cool. My best friend's a bass. But I hate it when songs just fade out while they're still singing. It's like, "So, um...what about the rest of the song?"
*We Can Work it Out: I can't help it, I like funky songs like this. They're funky. Until recently I couldn't figure out who has that dang solo at the beginning, and I thought that it might've been Lance or something. It's been confirmed to be Chris. Which is good, I guess:)
*The Lion Sleeps Tonight: Oweeeeee...! Chris gets basically the whole song on this one, and people who think that he can't sing should take a listen to this. I love their take on this popular favorite...it's so tight and upbeat. The other guys do an immense job on the harmonies, as usual.
*Crazy For You: So phat. So phat. It's become one of my favorites(I have many, so sue me). I wanna rock witchu! Wow, Joey can sing high. In the concert they had this weird "da roof is on fi-aaaah!" thing that was pretty cool, but didn't do too much for it.
*Riddle: An unreleased song, I think...and unfortunately it's not too hard to see why. The tunes are okay, but too disco and the beat don't change that much.
*Somewhere Someday: This was on the Pokemon movie soundtrack, I believe. Fairly slow moving, a little like Sailing, but actually I was able to get into this because of the beat and the basic take of the song.
*You Got It: "Ba-ba-ba-ba-bahahahah...!" More pop style that I love! And everyone gets somewhat of a solo in this, and it's all good. One of my more recent *NSYNC favorites. Why do people keep on getting on *NSYNC about being unoriginal or some other crappy reason!? To the next person who tells you that, dare them to name another song that's similar to this.
Okay, that's all on this page for now.
*Collaborations with other artists.
