Never Gone - Album Review

Overall, the album was a very dramatic change in the style of the Boys’ music, probably because they thought that the old style of music would never work in this era. Come on, the fans loved you Boys like you used to be.Incomplete- Very drama, with plenty of angsty piano and drums. But it’s very catchy, and easy to pick up. Heard that the Boys put in a lot of effort into the vid of the song.

Just Want You To Know- Ordinary, and the best part of it was that it didn’t sound like a BSB song AT ALL.

Crawling Back To You- Song for the despos. Lyrics go like this I’m banging on the old front door, my pride’s spilled on the floor my hands and knees are bruised, and now I’m crawling back to you… Sounds the same as Just Want You To Know.

Weird World-Love this song, sounds very big band, and perfect for gatherings, for parties.

I Still…- The intro music almost made me think I switched on Linkin Park by mistake. Brian injected some really good emotions into this song, guess I missed his voice. Sounds very Hoobastank.

Poster Girl- Catchy, up-tempo song. She says nothing’s forever in this crazy world… Perfect song for AJ’s vocals. But the nah, nah, nah part was a little spastic.

Lose It All- The acoustics worked in this song, along with Nicky’s vocals. Voice harmony a little off with AJ’s raspy voice.

Climbing The Walls- My favourite song of the album. Very impactful, thanks to Brian. Why is it always Brian? Loved the guitars.

My Beautiful Woman- The title is more than just cliché, it sounds totally boring. Nick worked this song, though, with the electric guitars which covered the flaws.

Safest Place To Hide- Finally, a peaceful ballad, and it’s Brian’s vocals again. I finally hear lovely D for vocals, after having him sing in the background for the past few tracks.

Siberia- Who the hell in the world would sing about a country, I thought, but the Boys proved me wrong. The drums were totally wrong in all the places, but I finally hear Kev.

Never Gone- Sounds a little like Time from the previous album, but with more percussion. This was one of the few songs which came in the right place, which is at the album. Lovely track, and the world should hear it.
