Backstreet's Back: Oh No!
By J.P. Gorman: 2007-07-26 20:19:18
A few days ago, I wondered aloud when all this 2007 reunion business would finally ease up; when it would be okay to forget about old bands and move forward into the 21st century. In essence, I wondered when the old guard would stop trying to recapture former glory on a worldwide stage and allow newer artists to take their place. In the process, I took some cheap shots at Bryan Adams. And now, I owe Mr. Adams an apology: there’s yet another lame-ass re-hash on the way, this time from a band that makes the Canadian soft-rocker look like the demon spawn of Satan.
Everybody take a deep breath: according to Billboard, none other than the Backstreet Boys are planning a comeback album. You read that correctly: Backstreet is indeed back. After an extended break and the loss (or is it dignity-saving departure?) of original member Kevin Richardson, the Backstreet Boys’ new album is set for release Oct. 30. The disc remains untitled at this time, and the first single, “Inconsolable,” will drop Aug. 27.
The Backstreet Boys are “celebrating” ten years on Jive Records, which means that each of the “Boys” are now pushing thirty if not well past it, and the young girls that swooned nine years ago are almost done with college and embarrassed by their Backstreet phase. The group last released an album in 2005, and it sold an astonishing 747,000 copies in the U.S., debuting at number 3 on the charts. Again, sadly enough, you read that correctly.
We all need to congratulate ourselves on making Justin Timberlake a star in his own right; at least that way we don’t have to worry about another disc from his old boy band. The fight's not over, though, and we need to band together one more time: if you have children, DO NOT buy them this album. If they pop up on the Today show, turn off the TV. If you see them singing for change in Hollywood, kick some dirt on their shoes and plug your ears. There will be no sound in the vacuum created around this comeback. Together, we are unstoppable.
Our culture absolutely cannot take anymore of this disgusting saccharine garbage from post-rehab adult males referring to themselves as boys, grown men with names like Howie and A.J. who would be stabbed in a heartbeat if they ever showed up on a dimly-lit backstreet, crooning soulless "music" to America’s twelve-year-old daughters. We had to endure it at the turn of the millennium, and we won't do it again.
We can do this, people, we really can. We just have to work together.
