Last night I saw the fireworks
The kind of pain that never hurts
The one you hate to love is made for you
Another unsuspecting Sunday afternoon
Oh, I love that song! It was requested that I provide a complete review of Unbreakable and I intend to comply, but it will be rather a short review because I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. It’s easily my new favorite album. The other BSB cd I bought over the weekend was The Hits – Chapter One, which has a whole bunch of their old songs plus one new one. I haven’t gotten to listen to that one yet because I refuse to take Unbreakable out of my car stereo (though really, I should take it inside and rip it so that I can listen to it on my Zune) and the cd player in the bathroom at home is dirty and I’m too lazy to clean it. But maybe I’ll do that tonight.
Anyway, I love love LOVE Unbreakable. There are so many good songs on there that I can’t pick one favorite. I love them all! I really like Unsuspecting Sunday Afternoon and Intro, which is a little snippet of Unsuspecting Sunday Afternoon that they did a little differently. It’s seriously awesome. Panic is lots of fun; great rhythm. I’ve had bits of Something That I Already Know floating through my head all day. Trouble Is is awesome! In short, I love this album. It has fueled my fancy the way that Backstreet Boys and Millennium did back in the good ol’ days. Woo!
In other news, I adored the weather we had Monday and Tuesday. It was so springy, so lovely! Yay warmer weather! Today it’s in the fifties, but it’s still really nice outside, so you won’t hear any complaints from me. For now, anyway. 🙂
*sigh* I suppose I should get back to work, but since I apparently forgot to post yesterday, I thought I’d play a little catch-up this afternoon. Happy Hump Day!

Suddenly they all died. The end. 
Wow! That is awesomeness! Now I need to hear it, clearly. Mayhap I will buy myself a little present on iTunes later. I do love me some good pop music! And I’m always looking for something new to listen to.
Enjoy!

Es muy excelente! I want to get Never Gone, too, because Incomplete was a really good song. I’d sort of forgotten about it till I looked up their website and discovered there was an album I actually don’t have. *sigh* How I love the Backstreet Boys!

I think this is my new favorite BSB album too. 🙂 In my opinion, it’s much better than Never Gone, which sounded kind of clumsy and inconsistent, like they weren’t sure what they were doing. Unbreakable sounds much more defined and a great update on the Backstreet Boys sound. Hurrah! The only downside is the absence of Kevin. 😦

I absolutely adore this album! I would like to get Never Gone to hear what it’s like, though. Even if it’s not great, perhaps it’s one of those things that grow on you. I hated Black and Blue at first, but after a couple of years, I discovered that I really liked it. On the other hand, it’s always awesome to find an album that you fall in love with instantly, like Unbreakable. And you’re totally right – it’s got a much more refined sound than their earlier work; it’s so much more mature and I can relate to the songs on a deeper level than the, “Oh my God! I want that! Why can’t I find a guy like that?” level that I hit with their older stuff. Granted, I was a teenager then, so I guess that’s my excuse.
I cannot believe Kevin is gone! It’s just so sad! At first I thought maybe the label was covering up his picture on the cover and then I got the plastic off and there was NO KEVIN! So disappointing! But at least they parted on good terms, from what I’ve read. Who knows? Maybe someday they’ll reunite! 🙂
