N-Sync
Yes, it's another group of five young white boys making                     dance-influenced pop that makes the girls scream. Not only is the                     composition of this group familiar, their sound is almost a clone of  fellow teenybopper dreams the Backstreet Boys. It's probably not  surprising, considering that they share the same manager (who had all  five members of '80s preteen scream machine New Kids on the Block as  the best men at his wedding, natch). The resemblance is a little too  close for comfort, however, with almost every track here mirroring one  on theBackstreet Boysalbum. From the radio hit "I Want You Back" and the sugary harmonizing  on ballads like "God Must Have Spent a Little More Time on You" to the  one-step-forward, two-steps-back approach to sex appeal on "Giddy Up,"  'N Sync (or their producers) have crafted the perfect balance of catchy  pop ditties and swoon-inducing slow jams.--Rebecca Wallwork
