Now on with the review…

The album kicks off with the first hit single “Straight Through My Heart”! The song is a really hip-sync-pop number composed by RedOne. It has all the things needed to be a club hit. Their voices are perfectly synced, blending nicely with the lyrics and the beats! “Bigger” is the second song in the album and is the next video single from the album. The song is really amazing. Some other dance RnB style songs are “Bye Bye Love”, “All Of Your Life (You Need Love)”, Masquerade etc! All of ‘em are simply awesome! “If Knew Then” is an RnB song, which is sung so brilliantly by the boys, that is automatically makes you feet tap to the beets!

“PDA” is another song, which has grabbed instant attention of the listeners! It is a completely different song that you’ve ever heard from the boys, with cheesy lines like “kissing and touching with my hands all over your booty”! The boys sound damn brilliant!

Then there are some heart touching songs like “Shattered” and “Undone”, both of which are really amazing! “Shattered” just stands out!! Its one of my favs! The title track “This Is Us” was criticized a bit saying that the boys repeat the same three words many times! Come On! The song is really really good! The music has such an awesome soothing tune which takes you to an entirely different world! “She’s A Dream” is the song, which all the four of the boys have composed together with T-Pain! The song starts with “hoo-haa” which at first makes us feel as if it were a dance song, but turns out to be silent song instead!

The only song which I didn’t find as good as the rest of the songs is “International Luv”, which is a Bonus Track! Wait… I didn’t say that the song is bad! What I am saying is that the song isn’t as good as the rest of the songs, but it is good.

Well… I am also going to write a few words about the leaked songs coz I just couldn’t get enough of the boys! To start with this section, I’ll like to begin with “Hologram”! It is such a brilliant piece of talent! The only reason for the song not being able to make to the final version of the album is the fan reviews about the leaked songs before the album was release! Before the song was finalized, people started criticizing the song and now after listening to the final version, they are regretting what they did! Another leaked song is “Fallen Angel”. I don’t have any idea why this song was not included in the album myself. The song is really good with really awesome lyrics.

I would rate the album :-

4.5/5 (Brilliant)

What do you think about the album?

Backstreet Boys – Straight Through My Heart – Review (Guest Post)

The boys have at last come together for the new album “This Is Us” which is an incredible album. Take my word for it. I’ve been listening to the album continuously since I laid my hands on it. But I’m not here to talk about the album or review the album, the review is going to be published by the author of this blog in a few days. Maybe we’ll do a combined post.

Hmm. Back to this post … I’m here to talk about the album’s 1st single – “Straight Through My Heart” video.

Although the song didn’t make much impact in the US it’s a great hit everywhere else with everyone praising it for the cool lyrics and style. Them the video was released and everyone was like – “What the fuc* was that?”, “What’s going on?”, “This doesn’t make any sense”, “bad” and so on.

OK… I admit it, the first time I viewed it, I was confused and not at all impressed. It all felt wrong, like there were lots of loose strings and gaps.

What you’ve got to understand here is in this video they’ve tried to fm things line old times. Remember “Everybody”, “The Call”. Those videos were incredible. The boys weren’t just singing, there was story in the video, it was fun and the dance moves were good.

In the last two albums the videos were good, synced with the songs very nicely but they were not his or fun (nor was the music). So in the latest video, there is a bit of “Everybody”, a bit of “The Call”, and “Inconsolable”… This combination provided you understood the video is pretty good.

This video has got “the singing”, “the dance”, a cool theme (read vampire), and a little bit story too.

I’ll not bla, bla more … Here’s the explanation -

“At the beginning, the introduction describes BSB as the Daywalker (a kind of Vampire Hunter). But in some other Movies, we see that Daywalker are the guys who have ½ human and ½ Vampire blood and they stand by human side to against Vampire. They got Vampire strength and are not burned by the sunshine like human. That’s why at the end BSB show their big eyeteeth and blood eyes.

At the middle of the video, the Vampire girl goes hunting at the nightclub. After chose the prey which is the blond girl, she begins the hunt. Unfortunately our Hunters already ambushed her in the guises of the club singers. At the edge of the hunt, suddenly water in the roof pours down (this part should be understood as Holy Water which scares Vampire). Then the Vampire girl feels confused, lose control, dizzy. At that time, Nick reaches a hand to her. She thought that he is trying to help her out of this crisis. And BSB has ½ Vampire blood so she thought they were friends. In a stifling space with blood red light and Holy Water is pouring down, she had no resistance never mind Nick was guiding her to another place. Brian, Howie and Aj covered behind. They clocked doors to block way behind. Nick exploited the confuse of her, then throw her out of the room which the sun is rising. BOOM! DONE! Vampire girl died! BSB stepped out calmly full of pride with eyeteeth and blood eyes under the sun. Mission complete!”

Now watch the video here, you’ll like it.

Check back in a few days time to read the “Backstreet Boys – This Is Us” album review.

Need For Speed – Shift :- Hits #1!!!

Yup! the game is out and already ruling the charts!

Need For Speed – Shift is the thirteenth installment to the title! Last year, “Undercover” was released, which was a kind of remake of their highest successful installment named “Most Wanted”.

“Shift” was announced in January this year(2009) as part of a three-game announcement that includes Need For Speed: Nitro and Need For Speed: World Online.

The game had been under  development for 2 years!! The game involves many new advancements, highly detailed in-car view to name one! While playing, the player can actually see how the driver in the game shifts the gear in between to make it more realistc. And if this isn’t realistic enough for you, then more exiting feature like, a highly detailed car crash sound effects have and a temporary slight blur effect on the the screen when the car crashes as well as a sharp gasp of breath from the driver before a collision.

Here is a video of the review of the game…

The game has been released for every major consoles like PS3, X-Box 360 and even PCs’.

And now as I wrap it up, I’ll leave you with the exciting teaser of the game!

Excited???

Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince – Review

OK! So the most awaited movie of the year finally released yesterday! It has already broken the midnight release record of Batman: Dark Knight which was about 18 million and has made 21 million the first night itself! Wow!
Now, about the movie…. In my oppinion, I would give it 6/10! I wanted to give 10 but just can’t and I’ve stated the reason in the negatives.
There are many moments in the movie which are really rib tickling like a love potion scene with Ron Weasly, a luck potion scene of Harry Potter etc. I am not going into the story so that I don’t spoil your fun!
Now some positives and negatives!
Positives:
Daniel Radcliff rocked! He acted brilliantly! Not only him, but also Emma Watson, Rupert Grint everyone was just wonderful.
Special effects were also outstanding!
Negatives:
The only negative according to me was that a few important parts have been deleted from the movie if you go by the book, which makes the movie feel incomplete. That’s the reason of giving 6 on 10! It could happen that if you don’t know the story from the book, you might not get a clear picture of the story which the movie tries to explain!
Reportedly, the next part of the series is going to be in 2 parts, i.e. 2 separate movie for the same book and the next movie might begin with the scene which should have been the climax of this movie.
In all, you’ll enjoy the movie for sure! Tell me how you found the movie?

Alvin And The Chipmunks – The Squeakquel!!

The chipmunks are going to return this Christmas!!! The trailer is out on the Internet! Well, it came out 1-2 months back, but still posted it!

This time, its going to be like this… David Seville (Jason Lee) sends the chipmunks to school thinking that it is good for them! But the chipmunks don’t like the idea of  being around so many human kids.

On the other side, Ian Hawke (David Cross) keeps his search for more talking and singing animals on, so that he can have his revenge on the chipmunks and David!!! And eventually he finds the chipettes who are perfect for the job!

What more? Our heroes find these Chipettes at their school and then begins the love and revenge story!!!

See the trailer here!! You’ll love it!

So? Do you?

Max Payne 3 – Game Scans and Details!!

OH! Is this GREAT or what!

Max Payne is finally returning! Description about the story of the game has been released and man! It rocks!

Max Payne, in the third game leaves New York city and moves to Sao Paolo, Brazil. He has become an addict to the pain killers and this is surely going to have a huge impact on the gameplay! He looks older than the previous games, as you can see in  the pic above, which is because the game has been set 15 years after the last one i.e. in 2015! The voice actor is different than the previous ones. A heavier one to be precise!

Now, a bit about the gameplay.

The environment around is fully destructible! Bullet time is now much more violent and intense! The game is having an online mode.

Well.. I saw this video on youtube and I’ve seen the same thing on other websites claiming that it is a teaser! Well.. it could be!

Wanna see it? Here it is!

Wanna know more about the story? Just read it from the scans after zooming it on clicking!

Here they are!

The games is going to be released this winter! I can’t wait for it to come out! Can you?

Thanks to Gossipgamers for the details.
