CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com O-Town, short for Orlando, Florida, the cradle of teen-pop civilization, was created for the ABC reality show Making the Band. The group's debut was a frothy confection of slick dance-pop hits that sold 2 million copies. With two hard years of touring under their belts, group members have stayed together and moved into a house in Santa Monica, California, where they cowrote six of the songs on their second offering and enlisted one of rap's royalty to work with them. Nelly cowrote and produced "Favorite Girl" and adds his trademark vocals to "Make Her Say." Since leaving the world of TV, O-Town has moved away from their boy-band beginnings. Switching from hip-hop to dance to pop, they sometimes come across as a band in search of a sound. But O-Town's collective heart really seems to be in guitar-driven rock. They give Bon Jovi a run for their money on the rather overwrought "These Days," while "From the Damage" could have been lifted off a Goo Goo Dolls disc. O-Town is a band in transition, but give them credit for taking over the reins of their career. Maybe by the next album, they'll figure out what they want to be now that they've grown up. --Jaan Uhelszki Similar CDs

CD ReviewsFrom the boy band era M. Stanley | Los Angeles, CA United States | 05/29/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Yes, they had a reality show. Yes, the first album was as sugery as it could get. And yes, the group has since disbanded. But, this album my folks is like none other (in the sense that it spoke volumes about the grouop as a pop act).
It gets off to a good start with the opening tracks. Nice guitars and acoustics give it an edgier feel, and sets up the album. One immediately begins to wonder if they had been wrong about this group. They continue on the same path delivering songs about love lost, love found, fun times, and their "Favority Girl." But, what strikes me about this album is that their is an artistic air about it not found previously. As the boy band era began to decline, groups still around realized it was time to pick up the old pen and paper and come up with soings that spoke to their fans and the masses in a different way. O-town has done this with this album. On songs like "Suddenly" and "From The Damage" you get a sense of a maturing group, one who understands that crooning and dancing aren't the only way to win fans. However, there are still remnants of that old sugar pop in songs like "Girl Like That". But, since they are in the minority this time around, you forgive them for those attempts and focus on the other songs that make you happy. This is not the best pop album to listen to, but it isn' the worst either." |
