| Nsync - No Strings Attached |
| 1. Bye, Bye, Bye When the song first started, I was reminded of Nelly Furtado's "I'm Like A Bird." I can't remember which song came first, so I'm not going to hold it against the guys. I prefer Nsync over BSB, so I'm gonna be nicer to these guys. The beat is really awesome in this song, and the lyrics go really well with it. The guys are really great at high energy songs, and this one totally kicks butt. JC and Justin are really giving it their all and the five guys together were awesome. 2. It's Gonna Be Me You have the classic Nsync sound in this song, but it's a beat you don't really get tired of. I really like the energy the guys (especially JC) put into their voices. Th lyrics, while at sometimes don't make a ton of sense, were really well put together. This is a totally cool song and one of my favorites. 3. Space Cowboy The background music sounds a lot different then Nsync's other songs, but to a point where it makes you want to listen. I can't say the lyrics were the best they could have been, but they were all right. All the "yippy-ya-yahs" really don't fit into the song, and make it sound like the guys' first attempt at music. Could have been better. 4. Just Got Paid When the song first starts with it's line: "Thank God it's Friday night, and I just got paid," the first thing that pops in my head is "Just got laid." Not something the guys want to be inforcing. This song has some pretty cheesy lyrics, but the beat held it through the whole song. With a tweaking, this could have been a single. 5. It Makes Me Ill When I first reviewed this song, I said it sounded pretty ordinary. But after listening to it for the past three months straight, and having it stuck in my head countless time, I have grown to love this song. The lyrics were pretty simple, but VERY catchy. I love the beacgound beat, and I have to agree with Kelly, I loved it when Chris said "This is gravy, baby." All in all, GREAT song! 6. This I Promise You Awww! I LOVE this song! It has to be the best on the album. The words were so touching, and JC and Justin's voices were so smooth, it makes your heart melt. Props to Nsync for such a SWEET and TOUCHING love song! This tops BSB! 7. No Strings Attached Despite it's title, I found this a very catchy tune. The lyrics didn't make sense at some areas, but other then that, I'm suprised this wasn't made into a single. JC's voice was very strong through out the whole thing and he held it together well. Kudos, guys! 8. Digital Get Down I'm going against my moral code by editing all my reviews, but this one was in dier need of a change. We've never heard digital music from Nsync, pretty much only BSB, but it was about time! The guys totally rocked in this song, and the background music was like nothing I've heard from them. I love it! 9. Bringin' da Noise This sounds like your typical Nsync song. The lyrics are new and different, but the background beat reminds me of their first album. Granted we arn't looking for a new sound every album, it was time for Nsync to come up with something new. 10. That's When I'll Stop Loving You When the song first started, I thought of switching it off, but after the first fifteen seconds or so, it turns really sweet. Not as good as "This I Promise You," but good enough to bring a smile to your face and picture that special someone in your head. The background music is different, from any other love song the guys did, and the lyrics are great. 11. I'll Be Good For You When the song first started, EARLY NIGHTIES popped into my head. That or late eighties, same difference. The beat is a little behind the times, and reminds me a lot of the Spice Girls. The lyrics are okay, and given different music, this would have been a great song. A little tweaking, and it probably would have been a favorite. 12. I Thought She Knew The guys show what good harmonizers they are in this song, and Justin really gives it his all in the beginning. The words are...intresting, but to a point to where you want to keep listening. Wait! It just got to JC's part, and now the song makes sense. This really is a good song (now), and with the guys making their own beat, it totally kicks butt. It reminds me of Christmas time for some reason, but that's a good thing. Great song, guys! Overall Rating: A- "Celebrity" is going to have to be pretty darn good to top "No Strings Attached!" |
