A true representation of what NSync have evolved to. I'm so damn proud. The tune is very catchy and contagious, the mark of a great pop song. Very explosive, yet has a legit meaning behind it. And well... y'all know what I feel about the choreography. LASSO LASSO.
3
This song is MAD IN (thanks jaycee). Great words, great beat, great choreograhy. Couldn't ask for more out of the first release off NSA. This song is bound to be my "I Want You Back" meaning, no matter how many times I hear it, I will never get sick of it. And in closing, I want to kiss Darren.

It's Gonna Be Me
The beginning is a bit, um, off is really the only way I can explain it. It doesn't sound like the rest of the song. I think they tried to make the song so "edgy" that it sounded a bit out of place. However, I like the chorus and the that they hit each word hard. Like BOOM, UGH, you know what I'm talkin about? But I like it. And any song with my JuJu beatboxing in the background is down with me.
5
I am gushing over this song. I love it. I love it. I love it. OK, I got it out of my system. Lord, Justin beatboxing kills me. For those of you who don't know my *N SYNC history, beatboxing is the ONLY reason I initially liked Justin. The words are great cuz they are borderline scary stalkerish...but damnit, I would welcome one of them to stalk me. Please? (Props to Stever)

Space Cowboy
Okay, who let Lance secretly co-write this awful song? Um, is there a meaning behind it? Okay, maybe I should have learned from "I Need Love", but really boys. Left Eye's rap was pretty dope, but next time JC, let's write a song that makes SENSE. I was so dissapointed, too, because there was so much hype around it. What can you really expect from a title like, "Space Cowboy (Yippie Yi Yay)"? It should really be called, "Giddy Up 2000".
11
Good Lord. Jerome must have gotten our man JC a bad dose of something for him to write this song. I have a new title for this masterpiece of crackdom..how bout Space "between my ears" Cracknuts. Just a suggestion. JC is gonna get sued over his use of the word MILLENNIUM...BSB patented that shit already....lol. I like the rap, does that count? I will keep the faith in Left Eye and the fact that Jaycee is on some hard ass shit.

Just Got Paid
Right from the beginning, I knew I'd be boppin my head to this ghetto tight sound. (HAD to get that in.) I have mixed feelings about this song. Sometimes I find myself with my Fila visor on and a pant leg up, just jammin. And other times I get that runtothecdplayerandturnthisshitoff urge. On another note, I would like to slap Lance, Chris, JC, Joey, and most of all, Johnny Wright, for encouraging the madness and allowing Justy to rap on the track. Well if no one else will say it, I will: JUSTIN. BABY. YOU ARE WHITE.
8
Did they Puffy Daddy the intro to I Want You Back, or is it just me? I loved this song in 87 and I still love it in 00. And of course Justin gives himself mad props both with the "lookin fly" and his own ghetto rap. Great, like he needs the encouragement. Christo has taken some cues from his idol Busta and did his own dope-ily fresh rap...its like Kool-aid. Cute. And like Jigga said...JUSTIN. BABY. YOU ARE WHITE.

Track 5
It Makes Me Ill
This song is the bomb DIGGITY. I MF love it. Especially the intro when Justin is talking 45897953 words per minute. The bubble sounding background effects are very cute. I believe Shek'speare (or however you spell it) produced this, so big props to him. Dude, he produces songs for groups like TLC (which is all of a sudden NSync's favorite group. cough *kiss ups* cough), our boys are in the big leagues now, eh? That last "UH" at the end is a nice touch, too.
2
Destiny's Child meets *N SYNC. And it DOES make me ill. It makes me ill that they have taken over my brain, bank account and in general, my life. It also makes me ill that they are so hot and talented at the same time. I must have been standing in the wrong line when God handed that shit out. But overall this song is "gravy, bay-beee."

Track 6
This I Promise You
The best track on the album. Can I just say the Richard Marx is my hero? Seriously, he should be in NSync as a silent member, but just write and produce songs. It is THE most beautiful song NSync has released. I cry in the dark every night because I want them to sing it to me. At night, when I'm listening to it, I pretend that Justin is my pillow and he's serenading me. I just hold on and we sway from side to side all night.. uh oops. I think I've said too much.
1
I honesly have no words to describe how beautiful this song is. I love it live even more, but...this is my favorite ballad on the CD, sorry that I had to give it such a low rank, but I am a fast song kind of girl. And don't worry Nik, they have therapy for people like you....

Track 7
No Strings Attached
The lyrics are aggresive and confident. They also have a good message, JC almost makes up for "Space Cowboy". ALMOST. I'm diggin it, especially the beat after they go, "NO STRINGS ATTACHED". Good song, good rhythms, good times.
7
This is the "Michael Jackson endings" they eluded to in the Rolling Stone article...I think that this song is great...and there is even a break in JC's verse for some invisible orchesta conductations and a part in Justin's verse where I will bet money on it that he will kick? Any takers? It sounds like a show opening song to me..and I can't wait to see what kind of crotch grabbing shenanigans Darren comes up with for this song....good Lord help us all.

Track 8
Digital Get Down
Before NSA even came out, there was much controversy about this song because of its provocative (well, BOYBAND provocative anyways) lyrics. People automatically were disgusted or what not when they saw them. Here's what I say to those people; get your head out of your ass. Thanks. This song is very enjoyable, and they did a great job of adding the techno and special effects without over doing it.
9
First of all I would like to start out with a bunch of 4 letter words. Shit. Piss. Fuck. HOTT. OK, I am done with that portion of my commentary. Well, at least we all now know what JC does in his hotel rooms at night alone. Thanks for the visual. Ya know when JC said that they guys were "hormonal" I think he meant to say plain out HORNY. Oh yeah, and watching them in front of the computers on @MTV.com has a whole new meaning now, thank you. I am gonna go take another cold shower.

Track 9
Bringin' Da Noise
I'm getting a vision. I see a "Space Jam 2" with this as its theme song. Every boyband album has to have SOME sort of party anthem and this one is the winner. It makes me want to get jiggy on the floor and has a fun vibe to it. I wish it weren't so low in my rank, but that's how it's gotta be.
10
Here We Go 2000. Nuff said.

Track 10
That's When I'll Stop Loving You
Well. It rhymes. The lyrics are nice. The heartbeats at the end are sweet. Did I mention it rhymes? Damnit, this song just sucks. It lacks my appeal maybe because it's ahead of NSync's time, or maybe it's just a terrible song. The only part I enjoyed was the guitar in the background after the bridge. Nothing about it stands out.
12
Diane Warren. Yep. Might I add, also responsible for Music of My Heart. Yep. It does nothing for me. And if you don't have anything nice to say.....keep it to yourself, or start a humor site.

Track 11
I'll Be Good For You
Justin "Tenninem" Timberlake's highly anticipated song writing debut is finally here. The jury is in and the vote is... APPROVED. To quote Bob Marley, "The spirit's got me, so let the mellow moods rock me." It's not a terribly complex song, just a simple little love tune that you can clap your hands to. You don't even have to do that.

Justin sampled, and the song still blows. NOTE: Space Cracknuts is ranked above this song, and ya'll know how I feel about that.

Track 12
I Thought She Knew
They should sing a cappela ALL the time. Or at least more. If there was ever any doubt NSync was no more than a bubble gum pop boyband, this song will silence all those doubts. The harmonies are incredible, and evidently, Joey can sing.
4
They sound so beautiful. Their vocal talent just blows me away every single time. Seriously. Too bad this song is soooooo old, but its cute that they got back to their roots. And props to Joey, dat boy is a lot better than we give him credit for. Also, a great ending to a great album. GO, BOYS! GO!!!!

A little dissapointed that Lance didn't have his one shining moment at a solo. But all in all, I am one happy camper. JC wasn't QUITE on the money when he said we didn't have to skip tracks, but they were hella close. Most of all, they proved that they are capable of taking on a diverse blend of music, and that they aren't limited to only pop. I applaud NSync once again, and bow in humbleness. I love them, Amy loves them, they love us. Justin is HOT.
