Backstreet's BACK!

So earlier today I read on the internet of someone complaining about the Backstreet Boys putting out a new album. What is wrong with them putting out a new album?! They are together 20 years and what better way to celebrate than putting out a new album which is sure to be a chart topper like all of their other albums? Then said person proceded to say something about why are 30 year old men trying to copy One Direction...Uhhhh more like One Direction is copying them. One Direction has already said they are fans of the Backstreet Boys and have looked at them as inspiration. The Backstreet Boys are the best selling boy band in history. They were the ones that were out long before One Direction probably before some of the members of One Direction were even old enough to know what the hell a boy band even was. Guess what their album only one day after release is number 3 in the US and I guarentee by the end of the week it is going to be number 1. It already is in Europe and Japan. The other difference is One Direction fans are there right now they may not be there later. Backstreet Boys fan base has been there from the very beginning and is still there now. That says a lot about the attachment their fans have to them and their music. Their music is going to withstand time and you can bet on that. Years from now people will still be talking about the Backstreet Boys can you honestly say the same about One Direction, or the Jonas Brothers or any other boy band that is out right now...probably not. I don't even think One Direction is going to make it that long. My personal opinion of their new album and I have listend to every song. It is the same old BSB that all of us fell in love with 20 years ago. Their music is yes more grown up but remember so are they. All boy bands will change their lyrics and style as they get older. It happens with age you start writing about different things. These men have families now so it's expected that they would write a song about children. That is my rant for the day. Long Live BSB!
