Rating System
*****= Phat! I love it!
****= Awesome!
***= Great!
**= Cool!
* and 1/2= Good!
*= It's ok.

1. We've Got It Goin' On- Very upbeat, was a good intro song for them in 1995.
Rating: **

2. Get Down (You're the One For Me)- Upbeat. Not as R&Bish like their other songs, but still I like it. But now, the thing is that I prefer WATCHING the vid on TV than LISTENING to it on the radio because when I do, the lyrics always get me to a point where I don't feel so good anymore. *L*
Rating: **

3. I'll Never Break Your Heart- The reason why I got this CD in the first place. Very romantic. This was actually the first song I ever slow-danced to, yippie-i-yay. (Sarcasm for only that last word.)
Rating: *****

4. Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)- Man, they STILL play this here in Canada! (Don't believe me? Turn to the a/c stations, you'll see.)
Rating: **

5. Boys Will Be Boys- I used to not like it because of the lyrics ("My body's coming for you, so please don't hesitate"??), but I listened to it more and now I don't mind it.
Rating: **

6. Just To Be Close To You- R&Bish. It's ok.
Rating: **

7. I Wanna Be With You- Cool.
Rating: ***

8. Every Time I Close My Eyes- I've grown to love this song.
Rating: *****

9. Darlin'- Very romantic.
Rating: *****

10. Roll With It- Cool.
Rating: **

1. Everybody (Backstreet's Back)- Great song. Has a dark edge to it, yet it's not evil.
I showed my classmates how to do the dance last year, hehe!

Rating: ****

2. As Long As You Love Me- This song is also played a lot on adult contemporary stations.
Rating: ****

3. All I Have To Give- Phat song. I loved it ever since the BSB sang it a cappella on the Hit List at the YTV Achievement Awards.
Rating: *****

4. That's the Way I Like It- Very funky. I like it fine.
Rating: ***

5. 10,000 Promises- It is so sad, but I like this song.
Rating: ***

6. Like A Child- Very 80s like. A great song. Rating: ***

7. Hey Mr. DJ (Keep Playin' That Song)- Whoa! I used to groove to this all the time. Now, I COMPLETELY forget how I used to dance, doh.
Anyways, it's a cool song.

Rating: ****

8. Set Adrift On Memory Bliss- Eh, it's good enough.
Rating: *

9. That's What She Said- Good enough also.
Rating: *

10. Anywhere For You- When I first heard this song, I was watching the music video on the Backstreet Boys' first offcial home vid. I remember I kept rewinding it over and over again, I loved this song so much at the time.
Oh, yes, I would like to thank HMV for CARRYING this European import CD single! If it wasn't for that, I would have NEVER heard 'I'll Never Find Someone Like You,' which is now one of my fave BSB songs.
Rating: ****

11. If You Want It To Be Good Girl (Get Yourself a Bad Boy)- Whoa. And I mean, whoa. I never knew what a bad boy Nick could act like. I was so surprised when I heard this song, you know, the part that goes "these are things your mama shouldn't know." I'm not dissing the song, I was actually breathtaken for a second or so.
Rating: ****

12. If I Don't Have You- I remember putting this song on repeat. I loved it like crazy, still do actually. I wish they had released this song.
Rating: *****
