Backstreet Boys: Millenium
 For their hard-core under-18 fans, of course, the Backstreet
Boys are all that, and a bag of chips and free soda to boot. Millennium, the
follow-up to the quintet's umpteen-million-selling debut, offers more reasons
why so many of the rest of us have found a place for them in our hearts. The
Boys' ultrapackaged look and up-to-date production underscore the quality of
their best tracks; only a churl could deny that "I Want It That Way"
is one fine radio-aimed declaration of love, or that "Larger Than
Life" makes the most of its Daft Punk sample and double-edged
acknowledgment of Backstreet followers' loyalty. And who can resist an
album-closer like "The Perfect Fan," Brian Littrell's ode to his mom?
