This Is Us Reviews:
Backstreet's Back, All Right 
2009-11-28 - Wow, this is an awesome CD by the Backstreet Boys, and I was shocked to find out that they have been in the music business for 17 years! This album is awesome, all of the tracks are lively and upbeat to a certain degree, and well, I would definetly recommend this album to anyone who is a fan of the BSB, or just starting out with them, because I love them and their music.
KEEPING THE BSB PRIDE ALIVE!!!
2009-11-27 - No matter what! No matter the year! The BackStreet Boys will ALWAYS Be NUMBER ONE!
I've been a fan since the beginning & I WILL NEVER STOP being a fan!... I'm Ryan (all the way from Malta, Europe - near Italy) ... When I heard Straight through my heart I got shivers man!!! I do every time I hear that beautiful song! The minute the music starts and then Brian goes "Ooh, oh, oh, oh..." I get up if I'm sitting on my Pc's chair and I feel like dancing to it and sing along!!! The BSB's music has helped me throughout the years, I was like 12/13 when the BSB started, now I'm 25! And it's good to see the BSB are still goin' strong!! In 2005 at their release of NEVER GONE... I had just been through a real bad time in 2004 coz of this car accident whic occurred due to this thrombosis I had whilst driving back home... and I could relate to the song from that album.. BSB evolved in their music... I felt like I had evolved with them... it's a never-ending process... TIME...look where we are and what we've been through... that was a gr8 song from BLACK & BLUE... and it's true you know, time changes everything, but, the BSB keep changing (and now kind of back to where they started) which is giving me those chills I used to have when I used to hear/sing/dance to all the tracks from their self-titled DEBUT album in EUROPE, coz later they released another version of BACKSTREET BOYS for the US! ... Well, what more can one say? Guys and gals... don't critisize the guys ... THIS IS US is another brilliant album - Let's all KEEP THE BACKSTREET PRIDE ALIVE in the name of GOOD MUSIC! I have just ordered my copy of THIS IS US from Amazon! Can't wait till I play it on my stereo!!! ... In the heart, of the night... Man! BSB's music makes me happy, even the ballads (the sad ballads) for their gr8 voices! My fave pop band! RESPECT! Ryan ;)
Backstreet's Back ALRIGHT!
2009-11-15 - Backstreet's back for sure - this CD is awesome! I loved every song. Always loved them, always will!
There Best Album yet.
2009-11-12 - I have all of their albums and this is by far the best. This album was so well done that i really dont have a favorite because their all great songs. You get an r&b sound for both ballads and up tempo's. It's really good the way they mixed it up. Normally BSB are known for their pop ballads but this album will blow your mind.
LOVE THIS ALBUM!
2009-11-08 - The song styling of this album is more up-tempo and is a great mix of what's popular on the air waves right now and that uniquely smooth, vibrant Backstreet Boys sound that makes this album a real treat.
The following are my personal favorites:
Masquerade is simply fascinating and with a slick sound that is mesmerizing. The lyrics and vocal harmonies of Shattered and Undone are heartfelt, mature, and gorgeous. Straight Through My Heart, Bigger, and This Is Us all have a really catchy, upbeat, addictive sound that you ~WILL~ find yourself singing along to, just like I found myself doing.
This Is Us is among my best music purchases this year.^^
