manda . rai //backstreet boy's black & blue cd review

. BLACK & BLUE * CD REVIEW.

i got black&blue on november 21_2000. very cool. i love the songs on this album. wanna see what i think? too bad here it goes, track by track!

�the call
i love the chorus... especially when when they sing 'my battery is LOOOOW' and when they say 'it eats me up from inside'. lol, not one of my fave songs though on this album but itz cool! nick sounds good in it so does AJ! i like the middle part where they do that operaish thing... and the part right before that. the last part of the song is AWESOME though!! especially when AJ goes "gotta GoOOoOOOOOOoOooOOooOOooOOo' hecka long! and the last chorus sounds great cuz they have the vocals in the background and it sounds really cool.

�shape of my heart
eeeEeE brian and AJ and nick all sound really good in here! nick goes loud & high in here!!! aHHhhHh i love the chorus and the bridge. and when AJ goes "becoOOoOOOme" and nickolas sounds really good in his verse toO. that little crack in his voice on 'got nottin tO HIde no more' is so cute lol. i love the end choruses cuz AJ goes loud & long and so does nickolas... 'now let me show you the TRUE. SHAPE. oF MY HEAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRTTTTT' that part's awesome man.

�get another boyfriend
i LOVE THIS SONG!!!! it has such a good beat and yet they harmonize really well in it and dudE they sing so well in it tOO! gotta love nick's little fast part- 'was it all the promises of the diamonds pearls party dresses that turned you on' and ya gotta love the "GO NICK!" part in the background lol. the chorus is SOOOO AWESOME!!! So is the end!! aHHhH this is one of my FAVE SOngS! :D hahaha yea i know the title & lyrics are a bit cheesy but OOo well haha i like it :)

�shining star
Whew! This song's got such an awesome beat and the chorus is sOOo coOL!! i just cant really stand the beginning- it's a little high for me. I love the breakdown in the middle! :D :D :D and in concert- they like wiggled around LOL while clapping! ahhh it was coollll

�i promise you
this is such a sweet song... the words and music are sOOoOOO pretty... is it just me or does nick sound like brian when he says 'i see you look at me' [beginning of 2nd verse] AJ sounds soOo good in here... they all do.. they all sound so emotional & stuff... veryy coooll it's a little slow & long for me though :)

�the answer to our life
i LOVE the Beginning and the chorus!! the music sounds kinda 80'sish to me. and what does AJ keep on saying at the end of some lines? like "SHAKALAH" or something? listen to it... someone in the background says something like that after some lines. the lyrics are great, and the music is very catchy & upbeat... lol... i like the beat to this one and they wrote it themselves!! it's such a feel-good song! :D haha very happy sounding. dude & i are writing our own version of a music video to this song! :) haha it'll be cool.

�everyone
okay now THIS is dedicated toward the fans! was it just me or did 'larger than life' seem not really a 'thank you' to the fans as this one was? to me 'larger than life' seemed kinda like they were sayin we were the reason they don't get any privacy anymore and stuff? i dunno, but larger than life was still cool! well, i think this one is a way better 'thank you' song to their fans! ev-ar-y-one they break that up.. repeated a *little* too many times though heh heh heh

�more than that
I LOVVVEEEE THIS SOOONGGG ITZ SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PREEEEETTTTTTYYYYYY AND GOOOOOODDDD AND PERFEECCCCCTTTTTT DUDE I CANT DESCRIBE IT ANYMORE!! LOL i can listen to this song over and over and over i and will just love it more and more and more!!!! AHhhHHHhH my learning bubbie LOVES it toO!!! :D :D :D MY FAVE SONG!!!!!!! i wANNA SEE THEM SING IT!!! AHHHHhhhHH [sorry too much excitement right now] it'z beaaauuutttiiiifffuuuullllll and you can feel their emotion in their voices!! and dude! when they sang this on Jay Leno---- did you see NICK?! he was like sPpppaaasmminggg like craaazzyyyy omy it was soooo coooolll....

�time
ahh proud of our boys that they wrote this one themselves. itz very cool... love the part where nick says 'sing at a drop of a dime...' and it goes OOoooooOO like a big suction cup. i like the acapella version of this song. :)

�not for me
okay i had this sudden urge today to see them perform this LIVE IN CONCERT!!!! AHHH that would be SOOo coOl dontcha think? very catchy beat... very cool... AHhhhh I wanna see them sing this!! i wanna see them sing MORE THAN THAT TOO!!!!

�yes i will
this song's pretty coOl... not one i would listen to over & over though... i just think that one line 'and start a family with you' doesnt fit very well... it seems pretty corny to mE. but itz pretty otherwise!! :D

�it's true
