"I started listening to BBMak after seeing them perform live on some TV show, and went out and bought INTO YOUR HEAD the next day (after hearing only "Out of My Heart (Into Your Head)"). I still listen to it all the time, and I wish they were still around to make more CDs like INTO YOUR HEAD.



Highlights of INTO YOUR HEAD are:

*Out of My Heart (Into Your Head) - This is a catchy, fun, summery song with fun lyrics. This is the song that made me want to buy the CD. It isn't the best on the disk, but it's right up there.

*After All is Said and Done - From the opening, you know this is going to be a more serious song, and it is. It's about royally messing up a relationship (some of the lyrics are: "Thought that you were workin' late, but that was when I made my first mistake, when you walked into the hall and found the clothes upon the floor it was too late..."). It gets trashed a lot for being more serious, but I love it.

*Out of Reach - Out of Reach is the "typical" unrequited love song, except this stands out from other songs with the same topic. It's simple, but it's great.

*Run Away - My favorite song on INTO YOUR HEAD. It's sweet, with beautiful lyrics, vocals, and an awesome guitar part.



All 10 tracks on INTO YOUR HEAD are great, and I think its a shame that BBMak didn't get that much recognition. They weren't your typical "boy band," and I recommend the CD to fans of Ryan Cabrera and Jump5.

"In 2000 BB Mak debuted in the US one year behind UK and Japan with huge hit of BACK HERE and its follow-up in 2002 got less promotion than the debut.



Well in my opinion the second one is far better than the debut with tighter arrangement yet their beautiful harmony comparable with that of Taxiride and Nelson kept intact.



Second track STARING INTO SPACE is such Beatles/A-Ha styled pop and rock unrivalled with the exception of probably TAXIRIDE or REMBRANDTS. Third track GET YOU THROUGH THE NIGHT sounds GOO GOO DOLLS and TAXIRIDE combined. Beautiful melodies go on after that. RUN AWAY and SYMPATHY show their excellent chorus reminding me of Nelson twins.



Overall every track is vivid with melody and hook and classic. Personally I welcome their change of music approach into more of rock with tighter and crisp arrangement closer toward Nelson and Survivor.



Verdict: Better than the debut. More adult rock oriented.

Rating: 94 out of 100

Recommended for: Nelson and Taxiride fans. Wide range of pop rock fans of 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s.
