*NSYNC - No Strings Attached
Bye Bye Bye
I will never get sick of this song. This is far and away their best single so far. I love it. I can almost do the dance. (When I say "almost," I mean "very badly and I can only really do the lasso thing.")

It's Gonna Be Me
I remember getting the CD and wondering what the next single after Bye Bye Bye would be, and I'll be honest: I wouldn't have picked this one. The harmonies are nice, but a little out of place in an uptempo song like this. You know how radio play can make you like a song less? I think radio play actually made me like it more.�

Space Cowboy�
The chorus is pretty catchy but other than that, I think this song is very corny. JC's had some hits and misses with his writing/producing. I had originally written a metaphor for JC's hits and misses here, but I reread it and it just sounded really stupid. Let's just say that I only listen through the first chorus of this song before I skip to the next song. (Just be glad I spared you that metaphor. It was bad.)

Just Got Paid
Not one of my favorites, but it's got a funky beat. It's a redone Johnny Kemp song from the 80's, and it's definitely an improvement from the original.�

It Makes Me Ill
Despite the street talk that seems slightly out of place coming from Justin's mouth, it's a very very good song. Were there to have been a fourth single from NSA, I'd want this to be it.�

This I Promise You
Beautiful song, beautiful harmonies. JC's "forever has now beguuuUUUUUn" is just incredible. However, this great song comes with a CRAPPY CRAPPY HORRIBLE video. I'm bitter. David Meyers sucks as a director. I eventually expect to have a whole rant page about how much David Meyers pisses me off.

No Strings Attached
I LOVE the hard beats at the beginning of this song. It's a good way to incorporate the title of the album into a track without referencing the origin of the CD title. I'd hate to hear a song about Lou Pearlman.�

Digital Getdown
Yes, it's about videophone sex. Yes, JC co-wrote it. Yes, it's my one of my favorite songs on the CD. It's just so catchy and good! Justin raps, and doesn't suck. My love for this song grew a lot after I bought the Live at Madison Square Garden video. JC + tongue + transparent floor = me in a puddle.

Bringin' Da Noise
It's like "Here We Go" 2000. Remember when I said earlier that JC's had hits and misses? Umm... miss. I guess I can't totally blame JC on this one because he's not actually the head writer.�

That's When I'll Stop Loving You
Dear Dianne Warren,�
All your songs sound the same. If there were a CD called The Worst of *NSYNC, this would be track #2 (right after "I Need Love"). I expect a written apology. You suck.�
No love,
Rachael

I'll Be Good For You
This is a much more adult sound than most of their music. I'm impressed with Justin's second attempt at writing, but his liberal use of "baby girl" and "ain't" knock it down a few notches. Side note: the No Strings Attached credits actually say "clapping: Justin Timberlake."�

I Thought She Knew
Eminem can swear up and down that *NSYNC can't sing, and Backstreet fans can say that only Justin and JC get solos, but I doubt they've ever heard "I Thought She Knew." *NSYNC really sets themselves apart from the crappy boyband masses (O-Town, I'm looking at you) by putting this beautiful a capella track on their album. It's so pretty!

We are *NSYNC and we will mesmorize you with our weird stares.
No Index Attached.
