Backstreet Boys Should Have Never Come Back

Adam Graham from The Detroit News reviewed Backstreet Boys’ new album “Never Gone” giving it a D grade. Graham writes: “Whenever fading pop stars grossly overcompensate in their album titles – think the Spice Girls’ ‘Forever,’ or Michael Jackson’s ‘Invincible’ – you know trouble lies ahead. Sporting a neutered rock sound that makes Matchbox Twenty sound comparatively edgy, the Backstreet Boys attempt an ill-fated comeback, showing time has not only passed them by, but has left them looking immensely stupid. Save for one co-writing credit, the Boys didn’t write any songs or play any instruments on the album. On par with albums from ‘American Idol’ also-rans, ‘Never Gone’ is proof the Backstreet Boys should have never come back.”
