The Backstreet Boys finally achieved American success with their second
album, Backstreet's Back. The reason for the sudden success had more to
do with good marketing than the music itself, since Backstreet's Back
is nearly identical to Backstreet Boys. Loaded with dance-pop and
ballads, the album is as glossy as mainstream pop can possibly be. That
slick production adds luster to the singles "Quit Playin' Games (With
My Heart)" and "As Long as You Love Me," making them as irresistible as
teen pop can be. There isn't anything else that really matches those
twin peaks, but there's enough craft, hooks, and fun on the rest of the
album to make it quite entertaining.
