When it comes to the Orlando-based Backstreet Boys, the world may be divided into two camps--detractors and hard-core fans--but no one can deny the fact that the guys produce perfectly polished pop that sells. The hits on this second European album (which includes five tracks not on the corresponding U.S. debut) speak for themselves: "Quit Playing Games (with My Heart)," "As Long as You Love Me," and "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)." If you're not one of the disciples, however, you may want to steer clear: lackluster attempts at R&B, saccharine ballads, and a murderous remake of PM Dawn's "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss" make this little more than a slick production. --Rebecca Wallwork

Backstreet Boys继出Black&Blue之后的五年，专辑Never Gone终于问世。风格与已往有些不同，但依旧是很成功的一张专辑，他们无懈可击的和声，天衣无缝的配合，他们的团队精神，他们的一切都在都是歌迷疯狂的理由
★关于专集创作
《Never Gone》的创作与制作阵容坚强，有Five For Fighting的John Ondrasik以及Savage Garden的Darren Hayes，还有在今年二月刚以Sheryl Crow专辑获得葛莱美奖的制作人John Shanks。新专辑收录了11首作品。与早期Backstreet Boys的动感舞曲路线已有了较大的区别。从前相对比较出色的R&B唱腔也成熟了更多。出色的体现在Love Is，Over Her这两首作品之中。作为R&B当道的年代，Backstreet Boys的唱功是绝对出色的。Love Is类似Craig David的演绎。并加上乐队其他成员的和声出现更加使得歌曲显得性感。呈现出了Backstreet Boys的成熟男人魅力。Over Her中的清新自然让我们找回了Backstreet Boys最迷人的和声，让所有的后街迷们仿佛找回了当年那五个令人着迷的大男孩。
★关于专集
Backstreet Boys的第四张专辑《Never Gone》将在6月14日发行，这是继2000年的《Black and Blue》之后，期待已久的新发行《Never Gone》的创作与制作阵容坚强，有Five For Fighting的John Ondrasik以及Savage Garden的Darren Hayes，还有在今年二月刚以Sheryl Crow专辑获得葛莱美奖的制作人John Shanks。
专辑的首支单曲Incomplete已经开始在美国各大点台播放，并且在Billboard单曲榜登上55名，相信将会以极快的速度上升。

Backstreet Boys (后街男孩)终于在千禧年底推出了全新专辑《Black & Blue (蓝与黑)》，距离他们上一张专辑《Millennium (千禧情)》已经时隔一年多了。在这张收录14首作品的新碟中，Backstreet Boys亲自参与了词曲写作和制作的部分，他们想要证明BSB对音乐的用心，而过往的努力所累积的经验也都在这张新专辑中显露无遗。
这张《Black & Blue》的制作人阵容十分有看头，除了老搭档Max Martin (也曾制作´N Sync的新专辑)外，还邀来金牌制作人Babyface以及知名R&B制作人Rodney Jerkins联手打造，因此呈现出多元化的曲风，包括流行、快节奏舞曲、慢板抒情、节奏蓝调风...等等。开场曲“The Call”从一串电话铃声以及强拍的拉丁旋律开始，BSB唱出了男人使坏的心态，和曲目三“Get Another Boyfriend”一样都是属于节奏强烈的Max Martin式作品；接着来到首打单曲“Shape Of My Heart”，副歌部分朗朗上口，不做单曲发售光靠着电台播歌率就让这首歌站上Billboard Hot 100的Top 10；而洋溢Babyface风格的节奏蓝调抒情曲“Time”、Timmy Allan制作的“I Promise You”以及“Yes I Will”则是深情款款的情歌佳作。
《Everybody》是另一支《Get Down》，一样的充满派对气氛。《As Long as You Love Me》及《All I Have to Give》充满时代感，比上张专辑的《Anywhere For You》及《I´ll Never Break Your Heart》更有精彩。前者更是美国单曲榜亚军歌，是历年最成功的BSB作品。较有惊喜的是充满感情的《10,000 Promises》及《Like a Child》，贴近美国流行的狂呼式抒情作品，Brian Littrell的演绎意想不到地好。

大家应该能感受到在这张专辑中Backstreet Boys表现了更成熟的一面，因为在去年一年的时间里Kevin与Brian分别完成了自己的终身大事，而A.J.以Johnny No-Name的名字举行了个人全美巡回演唱，Howie也以个人名义举办过两场义演。在“Black & Blue”推出前，他们一起写了其中的8首曲子，并参与了每一首曲子的词曲创作与制作，就是希望让他们的人生经历溶入每一首歌曲，这也表现出Backstreet Boys在音乐上的用心。“Black & Blue”尚未发行前，就被美国滚石杂志读者评价为〝4颗半星″，尤其这张专辑是Backstreet Boys第一次与金牌制作人“娃娃脸(Babyface)”和R&B名制作人“Rodney Jerkins”合作
