The Backstreet Boys' sophomore european effort is excellent! Not only does it include the fun pop tunes: "Everybody" and "As Long As You Love Me", but also the beautifully harmonized (and import-only): "If I Don't Have You" and the ballad "10,000 Promises." I great album by an amazingly talented vocal group! Five stars!

This is a pretty Good CD by the Backstreet Boys. I actually happen to like this one a lot. Songs I liked are Everybody Backstreet's Back as well as others. I ended up finding this CD at Pamida here in Grafton for some odd reason or other (unless it got mixed up with another order of Backstreet Boys CDs or something). When I first got this one, I know my mom was uncertain about letting me get this album, because it looked too much like their US debut (the cover shots are very similar, and the CD's almost look exactly the same, except one's a little darker in color). we realized that the songs were different so I got it.

This doesn't look very much like the internationally successful album, Backstreet's Back (which wasn't released in America). It looks more like their first American album,

] which was a combination of their first album ever (again, not released in America), and the *actual* Backstreet's Back. I sure wish someone had done their homework in posting the *correct* information about this item. If you don't believe me, check the track listings on both products. Notice that the're both identical? Also, you could check other websites, too, such as discogs.com, or wikipedia.org. It's ironic, since Stephen Thomas Erlewine of allmusic.com made the same mistake with their first international album, and the first American album (both of the same name) released a full year later.

Now that I think we've established which album we're *actually* looking at, I think it's worth saying this: this *is* the album that made their career in America. It has everything you could ever want from the actual Backstreet's Back album such as the dance-infectious hit "Hey, Mr. DJ (Keep Playin' This Song)", to the Full Force production "All I Have To Give". It also has music from their very first international album, which, although was never officially released in America, propelled their international careers to instant superstardom, with early hits like "We've Got It Goin' On", and "Quit Playin' Games (With My Heart)". I feel they should have included one more song, "Boys Will Be Boys" from their first self-titled album in particular, but that's just my opinion. Overall , I'd say that, despite the inaccurate info described above, the album itself is quite nice. They really have "Got It Goin' On". And, needless to say, this album was only the beginning, as they continued to go on for years...

THE SONGS ON THIS CD IS INCREDIBLE. I HEARD THESE SONGS BEFORE. I'VE SEEN IT ON TV AND ON THE BACKSTREET BOYS DVD.

I love this cd 10,000 promises and Like a Child are my favorites on this cd. Kevin use to sing 10,000 promises solo in concert so I was disappointed that he didn't sing it on the cd but the song is so beautiful that I still love it. Great cd for BSB fans who aren't afraid to be BSB fans.
