This album is DIFFERENT. Not way off, but different. More mature, free, and it's the Boys' own product with their own stuff here and there. They seem to really like their new management team also (The Firm).

The cover shots theme : 5 elements. Sun for AJ, Water for Nick, Metal for Kevin, Fire for Howie, Air for Brian.

The thank yous got Nicky's secret message in numbers: "Live Life To the Fullest For The Future Is Scarce" while AJ is one helluva romantic boyfriend. Amanda's lucky to have him.
Brian's preaching again, and I ain't complaining. He has that chance to spread the words to the world and he's doing it.

LARGER THAN LIFE
An anthem, alright. Can we say thanks, Boys ? Yes so very much we can. This track is totally funked, hype and it's for us! Really makes my whole devotion all worth-while. Includes AJ's additional laugh (you'll love it).

I WANT IT THAT WAY
It is supposed to be different from the one on the single. But on my CD, it's the same - the Radio version. Yes I am soooooo lucky I get to hear the perfectly same song both on my single and album and instead, being left out on the Audio version. Thank God I have the audio one on my hard drive.

SHOW ME THE MEANING OF BEING LONELY
Now the Boys seem to have left that way of naming their songs with parantheses! I thought it was gonna be like 'Show me the meaning (of being lonely)'! The song itself is a hair-rising experience. It is going to be a single as it said on the sticker on the album cover - 'featuring the hits IWITW, Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely, Larger Than Life and Don't Wanna Lose You Now.' May I change into 'the future hits'? Wow do our Boys have high self-confidence!

IT'S GOTTA BE YOU
A hyper song with everybody jammin' and it's Fatima's favorite! Yeah! Another Best Dance award in their hands! Vocal arrangements by Brian and AJ.

I NEED YOU TONIGHT
Nicky's solo. Nick sounds more and more like Bryan Adams. He's gonna be the next BA. The song is very melancholic and it makes you want to run and hug him!

DON'T WANT YOU BACK
Can't you guys re-consider please? Ok I'll play cool. My loud-speaker was definitely trained. It's got a scary sound like I Wanna Be With You, only it's more grown. It's a different sound.

BACK TO YOUR HEART
Sweet and melodious, written by Kevvy Kev (K R SON Music) and additional lyrics by Brian.

DON'T WANNA LOSE YOU NOW
Me and you can sing-along to this. Vocal arrangement by Nick.

THE ONE
Whoah Brian baby! Thought you ain't ever gonna write any fast song! Actually it's up-tempo, and I just love that guitar on the chorus!

SPANISH EYES
Sweet, sweet song! It's got that romantic Latin feeling and as far as I know, everybody loved it. Andrew Fromm makes great slow numbers, don't you think?

NO ONE ELSE COMES CLOSE
Nick and AJ duet. A cover song.

THE PERFECT FAN
I LOVE this one! Good job with the choir and it almost got me bawling. (No wonder Jackie cried when she listened to it for the first time!) If you ask me, they ARE already the perfect sons. *sniff* Hmmm except Nick probably..... I wonder why there isn't his voice in this song? Not particularly in the lead, but I don't think he's anywhere in the harmony either. But is that THE Leslie Carter in the choir? (see credits)

I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU
Brian's doing the solo. A good song to listen to at night when you're ready for a nice snore. It is supposedly the track for the b-side on IWITW single but somehow in Indonesia it's on the album??? Which is a good thing because it was missing from the single.
