Product Description

On Never Gone, the Backstreet Boys crib from the pop foundation they helped establish. Like a lot of smart popsters on the rebound, the reunited fab five broach their return by borrowing from the current hit makers. Even after a four-year hiatus, the flecks of new influence won't matter a bit to the fans. The boys' signature sugar-coated yearning softens every song to a melty consistency, and the lyrics haven't lost any of their babe-magnet pull. "It's all so dark and mysterious/When the one you want doesn't want you," sing the chiseled Lotharios on "Siberia." And on the final title track, a swirling crescendo sums up the sentiments of millions of heartsick, former teen devotees: "Never gone, never far/In my heart is where you are." -Tammy La Gorce
Product Description
'Never Gone' marks the group's fifth album release. Nick Carter, Brian Littrell, AJ McClean, Howie Dorough and Kevin Richardson continue to skillfully combine their signature elements of beautiful harmonies and power ballads with more live instruments to create an album with many different flavors. This new contemporary sound welcomes even more contributions from all members lyrically as well as musically featuring Kevin Richardson on piano and Nick Carter on guitar. 'Never Gone' continues the artistic growth and musical development since their last all new release, 'Black & Blue'. The Backstreet Boys have teamed up with some of today's hottest producers and writers to deliver one of their most compelling records to date. Dan Muckala (Aaron Neville, Mandy Moore) produced the first single, "Incomplete," which is a mid-tempo ballad that illustrates the group's tight harmony and soulful pop. Other producers include Billy Mann (Pink, Jessica Simpson, Sting) and Max Martin (Britney Spears, *NSync, Celine Dion) to name just a few. The Dual Disc will include the complete album in Enhanced Stereo and 5.1 Surround Sound, plus the "Incomplete" video, "Making Of The Video," in-studio footage, behind-the-scenes footage, and more! Jive. 2005.

...but I'll have to agree with the critics on this one. As much as I love the Backstreet Boys and wanted to like this album (believe me, I really tried), I have to say that I was really disappointed. I can only imagine how difficult it must be for a (boy) band like BSB to make a comeback after a 5-year hiatus : having to reinvent yourself, conquer a new audience while being careful not to alienate the old one... But I feel the problem is just that : they weren't able to reinvent themselves. Instead, they kept the same kind of mushy lyrics (I really thought they were past the "I-can't-live-without-you-please-give-me-one-more-chance stage")but incorporated them in a music that seems designed only to fit the current soundscape (Weird World is a carbon copy of Coldplay). Which is really sad, because Incomplete was really promising. But Never Gone simply doesn't feel like the glorious comeback it should be. Instead, it shows the guys' vulnerability, their fear of taking the risk to push the envelope and surprise people, fans and critics alike. We know they've grown up, but it's as if they were afraid to show it. When they were making bubble-gum pop, at least they had a carved a sound of their own, which was later copied by Britney, Nsync and all the boybands that followed. But this time around, unfortunately, they're the ones copying the others. And it's truly a shame.

Where do I begin? Incomplete was an awesome first single. I remember the first time that I heard this song and I thought it was great. A powerful love song. One of the best love songs in a long time. Incomplete, Crawling Back To You, I Still, JUst want you to Know and the title track, Never Gone prove that the Backstreet Boys can still deliver.
This album is great from beginning to end and Backstreet Boys return in a major way.
This is simply put, the best album from the Backstreet Boys.
