Summary: Who listen's to this S*IT?!?!
Comment: It blows my mind, the people who listen to this trash should go kill themselves, end it now. No wait, kill the band then your parents then yourself. Seriously, who the hell listens to this garbage other than young girls?

Summary: First CD I played as a DJ
Comment: I DJ'd an 8th Grade Graduation Party on a Friday night at my old middle school and the first song I played was "Larger Than Life." This CD was a good one to have a few months before the year 2000. "I Want it That Way" is a good song as well. If you are a fan of pop music in the 90s, go for this CD, if not you can pass on it.

Summary: A great album for insanely-pop-addicted men and women alike.
Comment: Larger Than Life - Liked it more back in the day. ****
I Want It That Way - Love it a bit less now, but still think it's great! ****1/2
Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely - Relate-able ballad. *****
It's Gotta Be You - Upbeat goodness. ****
I Need You Tonight - Still my favorite song here. A ballad done by Nick only (not written, but sung) and it still touches me these days. *****
Don't Want You Back - Um...I'm not really into this one too tough. **1/2
Don't Wanna Lose You Now - A slowed-down groove from the BSB. Has a bit of an R&B ballad flair. ****
The One - Another upbeat pop number. Good but doesn't touch the other singles, I Want It That Way & Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely. ****
Back To Your Heart - Decent. Love the guitar. ****
Spanish Eyes - OK. Not a spectacular ballad by any means. ***1/2
No One Else Comes Close - OK. Should've been left off of this album. ***
The Perfect Fan - Sweet, but could've been left off too. They should've recorded another upbeat song and one more ballad! ***

Summary: A great album for everyone!
Comment: Its a little over 8 years since the Backstreet Boys came out with Millennium. But the album is still considered a classic. In its first week, the album sold 1.4 million copies, a record for the time. Unbreakable, the Backstreet Boy's latest album, just came out and only sold 81,000 copies a week; I personally think it should have sold at least 300,000, it is a great album. But Millennium will always be the Boy's most popular album and I agree. From 1 to 10, here are my ratings on each song:
1) LARGER THAN LIFE- This song is an excellent pop rock dance song that incorporates superb vocals with exciting music- 10/10
2) I WANT IT THAT WAY- The most famous Backstreet Boys song ever and its one of my favorite songs, excellent vocals- 10/10
3) SHOW ME THE MEANING OF BEING LONELY- Extremely sad song and shows the Boy's maturity as a group, excellent instrumentation and vocals- 10/10
4) ITS GOTTA BE YOU- Not a bad song, but not up to par with the first 3 songs on the album, a good dance song- 8/10
5) I NEED YOU TONIGHT- All who sings here is Nick(except the ending), but he does a superb job with the song- 9/10
6) DON'T WANT YOU BACK- The group said they wanted this to be the 4th single, except Nick who picked The One, I think either would have done well- 9/10
7) DON'T WANNA LOSE YOU NOW- Great vocal performance from all the boys in this song, but its a little generic- 8/10
8) THE ONE- A great song, on par with Don't Want you Back and its good as a single. But its not on par with the first 3 singles- 9/10
9) BACK TO YOUR HEART- A lovely slow love song- 8/10
10) SPANISH EYES- My least favorite song on this album, but its still a competent song- 7/10
11) NO ONE ELSE COMES CLOSE- A slow paced song that has a good tune and vocals- 8/10
12) PERFECT FAN- Wonderful way to end this album, this song is about how much the Boy's love their mother's. I love this song because it shows how important your mother is to you- 10/10
CONCLUSION- Millennium is and will always be the Backstreet Boys best album. There current album, Unbreakable, comes close to Millennium's footsteps, but Millennium still wins in my book. In order, from best to worst is: Millennium,Unbreakable, Backstreet Boys, Never Gone, and Black & Blue. I give Millennium a 4.6 out of 5.

Summary: 15 yrs more to come
Comment: i had this CD for a long time now and yet it still manages to find its way back into my stereo system and ipod. more often than not, music gets old if you listen to it over and over again. however, this is not the case with this particular album. even tho i don't personally recommend it to heavy metal head bangers (except myself LOL)specifically, i do highly recommend it to everyone who appreaciates good music. don't discriminate against a particular genre of music just because it's that genre (whether it be punk, pop, rock, metal, international...). take time and listen to w/o being biased. you'll probably discover that it's quite listenable, quite good!
take this album by the bsb for example. it is composed of the perfect tunes and melodies that any artist could possibly accomplish making. it includes the song that virtually everyone knows -- i want it that way (whether u decide to admit it or not). not only that, it has many other wonderful ballads that are such great listens. My favorite one on the album is "no one else comes close" even though you really have to give credits to Joe. my second fave is "show me the meaning" because it talks about the reality of death and i personally, can relate to it on a certain mature level.
i hate the music played on radios these days. to me they're like cacophony. most of the artists can't sing live -- can't do anything live and it really sucks to see what the music industry is slowly becoming -- actually it's already shaped into something disgusting. however i can't do anything about it but to appreciate the music i think deserves more credit than some others.
MILLENNIUM is a great album, put aside the fact that it is by the backstreet boys and listen to it. you'll be surprised how good it actually is! bsb have grown up to be adults and they're continuing to release albums as they mature into their 30s and beyond. if you listen to their 2005 LP "never gone", you will notice a huge difference in sound, melody, and other areas.
try this album i don't think you'll regret it

Editorial Reviews:

For their hard-core under-18 fans, of course, the Backstreet Boys are all that, and a bag of chips and free soda to boot. Millennium, the follow-up to the quintet's umpteen-million-selling debut, offers more reasons why so many of the rest of us have found a place for them in our hearts. The Boys' ultrapackaged look and up-to-date production underscore the quality of their best tracks; only a churl could deny that "I Want It That Way" is one fine radio-aimed declaration of love, or that "Larger Than Life" makes the most of its Daft Punk sample and double-edged acknowledgment of Backstreet followers' loyalty. And who can resist an album-closer like "The Perfect Fan," Brian Littrell's ode to his mom? --Rickey Wright
