True, the album doesn't pack as much punch as its predecessor - there's a number of good songs, but more filler than before, and the Backstreet sound isn't as fresh as it was the first time around - but it does deliver what fans want: more of the same. If Millennium were anything other than big, glossy mainstream pop, such calculation may be a little unseemly, but in this context, it can be rather fun. There's a familiar blend of ballads and dance-pop, a similar shiny production, a reliance on the Boys' charisma that brings to mind the debut. And sequel is the appropriate word - Millennium has no pretense of being anything other than an album for the moment, delivering more of everything that made Backstreet's Back a blockbuster. in 1997 that they had a presence in the States, and it was no small presence, either - after selling over ten million copies, the album remained in the Top 40 on the eve of the release of its sequel, Millennium.
They had been Euro sensations for a couple of years, but it wasn't until Backstreet's Back was unleashed in the U.S. The Backstreet Boys finally broke (and broke big) in America during 1998, as if by design. Purchase and download this album in a wide variety of formats depending on your needs.
