I just purchased the new Backstreet Boys album, This is Us, and I've gotta say that I think that they're back for sure. I don't think this is going to be a short-lived run like with the New Kids on the Block; there's more than one song that'll be hitting the Top 40 radio stations.
On the album, the group brings back their familiar, blended vocal sound to more current-sounding tracks. Add some decent lyrics and it's a pretty good album. I've heard that their first single "Straight Through My Heart" has already been on the radio, although it hasn't made it out here to the Lafayette area. Other decent tunes on the album include "All of Your Life (You Need Love)," "This is Us," and "Masquerade." You can preview the album here.
I was happy with the purchase and am looking forward to playing some of these tunes at upcoming events.
