Backstreet Boys - Hits-Chapter One 
Label: Jive
Rating: 
 

It appears that the Backstreet Boys are stealing yet another page from the New Kids On The Block playbook. After releasing three studio albums, put out a repackaged greatest hits collection to cash in on the groups dying fame while you still can.  Most serious artists wait until they have a half a dozen albums under their belt before going the greatest hits route but since when are the Backstreet Boys considered serious artists? 

Chances are the same girls who will lineup to purchase this collection already own the group's first three albums filled with excessively sentimental fluff delivered with overly studio processed vocals and simplistic accompaniment. If you buy into this scam by all means help fill the Backstreet Boys bank accounts some more by purchasing this CD. But if you are looking for music with substance avoid this and the rest of the Jive catalog like the plague!
