Negative Positive
Title: Harmless Pop
Review: "Celebrity" is lyrically-juvenile and features highly stylized backup vocals and an array of synthesized instruments.That isn't to say that NSync's newest album is bad pop; it's actually decent, sort of sugary, a little less melodic than their past albums. While other bands have attempted to produce "mature" pop, they have also lost an essential quality that made them popular in the first place. NSync is an exception; think of "Celebrity" as not a step forward or back, but to the side at some angle."Gone" and "Pop" are both indications of how their musical influences have changed. Other offerings include "Up Against the Wall", which is a slightly whimsical, two-step reminiscent fairy-tale interluded dance track, probably the best song on the CD.Overall, the tracks found on "Celebrity" are good songs, but they aren't commercially viable on the radio. Still, it's a good CD and a safe bet.
