The boy band that just keeps on going loses one member (new father Kevin
Richardson), but the new quartet lineup works fine, given that the group's
famed harmonies are used more sparingly on its first album in three years.
The sound is more mature and rock-flavored, with plenty of solo vocal takes.
The opening track, Everything But Mine (which follows a short, harmony-laden
intro), borrows a page from Duran Duran, with synthesizer and piercing guitar
chords. Helpless When She Smiles starts with Sting-like bass before building
into a rock power ballad. You Can Let Go uses strings and acoustic guitar as
the foundation for a slow rock anthem. The harmonies drift in on the choruses
of these songs. The debut single, Inconsolable, has a stronger dose of
old-school Backstreet vocals, as does Unmistakable, another slow rocker. Nick
Carter, Brian Littrell, Howie Dorough and AJ McLean would be wise to stay
away from reggae in the future, with that sound anchoring the CD's most
forgettable tracks, Any Other Way and One in a Million. The album ends with
Unsuspecting Sunday Afternoon, which hints at where Backstreet ultimately may
be headed: a lush take on adult-contemporary music, bathed in piano, strings
and harmonies.

每一個所謂的工作都一樣 每一種解釋都顯的煩人
也許有一種掌聲 讓你可以不必勉強擠出笑容來回報
因為你所做的本身 就值得被世界回報
如果是 就不必在乎這個世界這麼多判斷的其中一種了
