*NSYNC Album: “*NSYNC [Germany]”

This album is fantastic! Not only does it include many of the songs available on the North American debut, it also includes songs not available in the US. The European versions of Tearin' Up My Heart and I Want You Back are longer and slightly different than those available on the North American release. This album also includes five different songs not on the US release. The two songs Riddle and Forever Young have a more techno feel to them then many 'N Sync fans are used to, but they are terrific songs. Boston's original song More Than A Feeling is covered wonderfully by this talented group. A super buy for any 'N Sync fan, I highly recommend this import CD.

Here's the track-by-track review:

1. "Tearin' Up My Heart": This is longer than the U.S. (or anywhere else) version. It has a bit of like 'police radio communication' at the beginning then turns into the regular song.

2. "You Got It": This is the 'producer is at the helm of the entire song' songs. There's many songs like on this CD. But it has good vocal layering.

3. "Sailing": A remake of Christopher Cross' song (I have not heard the original.) I like the guitar part at the beginning. Sounds like we're floating ( I don't know why.)

4. "Crazy for You": It's another 'producer' songs. But there's one different part in it. I hear guitars (!!!) Has a nice bass beat to it.

5. "Riddle": A European dance/pop song. It actually has a good beat to it, I can see it in a club (though I don't think anyone would dance to early 'NSYNC.)

6. "For the Girl Who Has Everything": This is actually a very good song. Very moody. To think that this was actually released as a single kinda scares me.

7. "I Need Love": 'Producer pop' at it's best (or worst). Someone told me when they listened to it, it sounded like a European dance song. It's the "pre-packaged pop/love song" that 'NSYNC was known for way back when ;)

8. "Giddy Up": This is a weird tune...very weird. Supposedly they co-wrote it. I'm not getting the meaning of this song. "Cuz if you wanna make things right, you got to giddy up..." (?!?!)

9. "Here We Go": This seems like a 'crowd pleaser' at a concert or a basketball game. I don't know, but it sounds like it could be in a movie about a party or something or another.

10. "Best of My Life": When I first listened to this song, I thought was cool. It was one of those 'boy band ballads'. But then I listened to Boyz II Men "End of the Road" (I think.) It sounds eerily alike.

11. "More Than a Feeling": Another remake of an old tune, but this time they have Boston's old song. It sounds with the 'Barbershop vocal do do do's.'

12. "I Want You Back": Longer than the U.S. debut, but I don't think anyone's complaning. I've seen the original video (European version,) very interesting...

13. "Together Again": Slow and kinda sad. I like the 'oohs' at the semi beginning. Very melodic and sounds like anything I haven't heard.

14. "Forever Young": A bit of a European dance song. But you can play this song at like a soccer game or at a New Year's Eve party, people (I think) will get pumped up.

Overall review: 4 stars: This has more songs and a better sound quality than the U.S. debut has. As you may or may not know, I've reviewed two to four 'NSYNC cd's, and they probably won't come close to this. If I could rate it more than a 4, it would probably be a 4.75.

Yes I have the NSync import cd...who doesn't. If you don't have it then u need to get it. The songs on this album are amazing. the way their voices blend together is just ....wow! They also do a really beautiful remake of "More Than Feelin" basically all I'm saying is that the album is awesome and if you don't have it...GO GET IT!

"...Nsync has got the flow!" ... buy this CD solely 4 the awesome acapella "More Than a Feeling," the upbeat "Forevvvvvvver Young" & "Riddle," and don't forget the classic nsync songs on this cd (their 1st ever) as well. I <3 this cd.

My best friend happened on this by chance at Borders and she bought it on a whim, and she and I liked it better than the American version after just one listen! The songs "Riddle" and "Forever young" are worth paying a bit more, and the longer version of "Tearin up my Heart" is really good! Most of the best songs from their American album are on here too, so it's really your best buy! This is a likeable, clean, fun album. NSYNC fans will die for it! If you have the choice, get this one instead of the American one, it's so awesome!
