Backstreet Boys
Unbreakable

THE REVIEW

After two years of waiting, a short time compared to their previous comeback... The BsB are back, with one member less who temporarily wanted to dedicate himself to his new life as a new dad but still left his fellow members in better shape than ever!

Unbreakable is the title of their latest CD, featuring 14 songs accompanied by 3 unreleased tracks... it's true... the group shows signs of maturity, professionalism, and style like never before.

The tracklist is as follows:

1] Intro
2] Everything But Mine
3] Inconsolable
4] Something That I Already Knew
5] Helpless When She Smiles
6] Any Other Way
7] One In A Million
8] Panic
9] You Can Let Go
10] Trouble Is
11] Treat Me Right
12] Love Will Keep You Up All Night
13] Unmistakable
14] Unsuspecting Sunday Afternoon

Bonus track: Downpour, In pieces, Nowhere to go

The first track, lasting one minute, showcases the vocal ability the boys have in interpreting a piece without being accompanied by musical instruments but only by their voices... it is essentially track number 14 performed a cappella, highlighting how well the group is harmonized and how singing in this way is their strong point! Truly a great performance.

But now, let's get to the heart of the album...

As we know, Unbreakable was preceded by the single "Inconsolable", a ballad in pure Backstreet style that once again did not disappoint any of the fans and even attracted new ones... the "novelty" of this work is that the guys produced something unexpected, which no one would have thought could come from their voices... It's true... we were already used to hearing them in more upbeat songs, but this album reached its peak... songs like "Everything but mine", "Any other way", "One in a million", "Panic", and finally "Treat me right"... produced with the help of an old friend JC Chasez, really make you want to drop whatever you're doing and dance to the dance beats of these tracks...

There are also slower but yet mature tracks like "Something that I already know", "Helpless when she smiles","You can let go", "Trouble is", "Love will keep you up all night", "Unmistakable", "Unsuspecting Sunday afternoon"... songs that just by their titles make you daydream and perhaps make you want to dedicate them to your partner!

Released in 2 versions

1* Digipack-deluxe version (cardboard packaging containing the CD with 2 unreleased tracks: downpour and in pieces + mini group poster)

2* Standard version (plastic version with only the 14 songs without unreleased tracks). 

The only flaw of the CD is that there are no lyrics in the booklet, but this is of secondary importance when you turn on your stereo to hear such melodies... Let's face it... IT'S WORTH listening to! There's no point in hinting at the meaning of the lyrics either, otherwise, it would all be revealed... all that's left for you is to buy it and let us know what you think!
