.com OhmygodtheBackstreetBoysrule!!!!!! OK, with that out of the way, let's review The Hits--Chapter One, which is one-stop shopping for the hunky pop group's three American albums--their 1997 self-titled debut, 1999's Millennium, and 2000's Black & Blue. The first disc really shines with "As Long as You Love Me," "Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)," and "All I Have to Give," capturing the Backstreet Boys' essence: sunny pop under the influence of blue-eyed soul. "I Want It That Way," from the second album, is an undeniable classic, while "The Call" has a deliciously frenzied sexual urgency and a strong, danceable beat. But the other tracks are uneven with the oddball fan-appreciation anthem "Larger Than Life" surrounded by somber, predictable ballads. The new single, "Drowning," is same-old same-old: lazy moaning over a drum machine. The Hits--Chapter One might be an optimistic name for this '90s retrospective. The future is cloudy for chapter two. --Courtney Kemp

If 10-year-old girls could drive
No matter how old these hits are, they will always be hits. Brian Littrell will always possess the power to make me sing like a 10-year-old girl while driving through traffic, except it would be dangerous for a 10-year-old to be driving (and against the law). The price wasn't too shabby either. If you need a 90s-teeny-bopper pick-me-up (so many hyphens), this is the album for you.

Timeless Classic
First off, I'm way beyond the age demographic for this band. I recently heard some of these songs on a friend's stereo, liked them and said "who is that?" When she told me I was surprised. I'd heard of the band and I guess I'd heard some of these songs on the radio, but never realized what classic songs many have turned out to be. Doubled my surprise when I found out most of these hits were written and produced in Sweden! This CD is a keeper.

Excellent First Chapter
This album is EXCELLENT! I am very happy that I purchased it. It contains all their hits. The one low point is the one new song on the album, Drowning. This is not a very good song, but the rest of the songs make up for it. You may have their previous albums, but it is nice to have all of these fab songs on one CD. If you don't have their previous albums, buy this and you will have the best of the Backstreet Boys.

New CD looks like old CD?
Two cracks in the plastic case, and not sure this is new. It was double plastic wrap. The the CD looked worn unless it was made to look like that?
