Review - Amazon.com
Yes, it's another group of five young white boys making dance-influenced pop that makes the girls scream. Not only is the composition of this group familiar, their sound is almost a clone of fellow teenybopper dreams the Backstreet Boys. It's probably not surprising, considering that they share the same manager (who had all five members of '80s preteen scream machine New Kids on the Block as the best men at his wedding, natch). The resemblance is a little too close for comfort, however, with almost every track here mirroring one on the Backstreet Boys album. From the radio hit "I Want You Back" and the sugary harmonizing on ballads like "God Must Have Spent a Little More Time on You" to the one-step-forward, two-steps-back approach to sex appeal on "Giddy Up," 'N Sync (or their producers) have crafted the perfect balance of catchy pop ditties and swoon-inducing slow jams. --Rebecca Wallwork

- THE BEST DARN BAND ON THIS PLANET.

I love Nysnc exspecally Justin and JC. But I have to say this is a kiken CD. you get 5 songs that are not on the other CD. I want you back and tearn up my heart are a little different. I think the best song on this album is "Riddle" i love the beat and "Best of My Life" they are really good. The other cool thing it has the words to the songs. If you love Nsync you must get it.

- NSYNC import debut album

This CD is wonderful. It has five new songs that are different from the American debut album. They are Riddle, Best of my Life, Together Again, More Than a Feeling, and Forever Young. I strongly recommend this CD for any NSYNC fan. It is well worth it.

- Another Awesome *NSYNC CD...

I totally love *NSYNC. They're my favorite group. This is their first CD, it was released in Germany in 1997. I just got this CD about a month ago, and I love it.

It has 5 songs not released in the United States. 'Forever Young' is an up-beat song with a good message, and 'Together Again' is a really pretty song. 'Riddle' is a really up-beat song. 'Best Of My Life' is a slow song with a good beat. My favorite song is 'More Than A Feeling'. It's a beautiful song, and they sound AWESOME in it. It inspires you. Tearin' up my Heart and I Want You Back are extened versions and they sound really cool. If you're shopping around for *NSYNC Imports, like I am, I definetly recommed this one.

Okay, I just have to say that I'm probably one of the biggest *N Sync fans out there! I love my boys! Anyway, you've gotta get this cd! It's amazing! I mean, yes there are some songs on here that are already on the American cd, but the songs on here that AREN'T on the American one, will totally blow you away! Trust me, this cd is worth the price! I listened to it every single night, placed the entire cd on repeat, for over a month! That's how much I love it! GET IT!

- Superb album from a tight group!!!

'NSYNC - the debut european album from one of the most popular and successful vocal groups in recent years showcases the talents of the five guys of *NSYNC. As many of y'all know 'NSYNC first came into prominence in Europe in the late 1990's and this album clearly shows alot of European influence to the group's sound. I am actually from the United Kingdom and I was first introduced to *NSYNC by my cousins from Germany and Switzerland in 1996, and I purchased this album in 1997.

The instant that it made its way into regular rotation in my music listening it just stuck with me. I would go into school with the melodies of their songs and their harmonies planted in my brain and I couldn't wait to get back home to listen to their songs. There is a really good variety of music on this CD, at a glance the songs that stick out the most are as follows:

"Tearin' Up My Heart" - a longer version which is easier to sing along to since it has more instrumental breaks!!!

"I Want You Back" - their debut single back in '96 which has all of the good points of a great dance pop song: a great beat, pleasant harmonies and an unbelievably catchy chorus!

"Here We Go" - another hot dance pop song which always gets me up and dancing and it reminds me of seeing 'NSYNC on German TV back when they first started!

"For The Girl Who Has Everything" - I can't even begin to describe how much I love this song, JC - what a voice!!! The harmonies, the guitar, the bass...everything about this song just screams perfection. JC has such a great voice throughout this song (especially the second verse!!!)

"Sailing" - Another great vocal performance by JC make this a memorable song on the CD as well as the 5-part vocal arrangement in the middle of the song (to cover the piano solo in the Christopher Cross version!!!)

"Together Again" - This was the 'NSYNC christmas single in europe for 1997 and for me is one of the highlights on the album, the verses are sung by 4 members of the group instead of just JC and Justin. Justin takes the 1st verse, Chris the 2nd and Joey does the 3rd verse (with JC doing some nice overdubs!!!).

"More Than A Feeling" - Very nice take on the Boston classic, almost unidentifiable from the Boston version - would have been better as a full acapella arrangent as the instrumental arrangement is very bare! You also get to hear Joey sing "Closed my eyes and I slipped away" in the 2nd verse!

"Crazy for You", "The Riddle" and "You Got It" (nice middle bit!) are all quite enjoyable uptempo dance songs with nice leads from Justin and JC making them a worthwile listen. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for the rather dreadful "I Need Love" and "Forever Young" - how "I Need Love" actually got to be on the US edition is still beyond me!!!

"Best Of My Life" is good but I will agree heartily with the other reviewers who said that it sound too much like "End Of The Road" by Boyz II Men. (Personally I feel that it was their take on "I'll Never Break Your Heart" by the Backstreet Boys - which they admitted was their favourite Backstreet Boys song on a German TV Interview in 1997!!!)

As for "Giddy Up" well it is the most laughable 'NSYNC track ever... what on earth are they on about here? I have never liked this song although it's not as "wack" as "If You Want It To Be Good Girl (Get Yourself A Bad Boy)" by Backstreet Boys - which is 10 times worse!

Anyway, overall this is one tight album and it brings back alot of memories for me, I recommend that you folks that don't have it, whip out your wallets and get purchasing!!!

Peace Out y'all!
