The Best $16 I've Spent in a Long Time...

So I finally succumbed to the pressure/desire/sheer pleasure of owning the newest Backstreet Boys record. I wasn't sure what I'd think. We all know how rough critics are (and honestly, don't you usually end up feeling the opposite of what most say??), so I wasn't sure what I'd think. Now, I must preface this by saying I have been a BSB fan since high school. Say what you want about them, but their music is just good, easy-listening music.

Never Gone should have been called "Never Hotter," b/c every song on this record (ok I'm lying, I sorta didn't like 2 of them) is hott. They're not trying too hard, they're not denying who they are, and it honestly just feels like 5 friends got together to make some good music. Some might say it's predictable, but it's the sort of predictability you really want.

So if you're looking for something to pump in your SUV w/ the sunroof open (my method of choice), this is the record for you.

Peace, love, & shopping...
