BEFORE The Backstreet Boys 1989-1993

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   Revised Australian 1999 edition of the smash group's huge 1997 album. Contains 11 tracks - six of the 12 tunes included on the U.S. edition and five NOT on it, 'Missing You', 'That's The Way I Like It', '10,000 Promises', 'Like A Child' & 'That's What She Said'. Features bonus enhanced material for CD-ROM. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
