Decent Albums of the 90s: *NSYNC - No Strings Attached

Welcome to part ___ in my series of decent albums of the 90s - now with typographical erors.

This is another album from 2000 (what i consider to be the last year of the 90s, at least musically).  This was at the peak of the boy band "revolution" - which in retrospect is probably the last decent era for the recording industry.  Anyway, i decided to pick this over NSYNC's solo debut - because it is probably their best work.  Their debut album was pretty good too though.  This album was the one before their annoying "dirty pop" sound of Celebrity.  NSYNC had probably the best vocalist in the "boy band era", JC Chasez - though his solo stuff is questionable.  He has the talent, the song selection - not so much.  The album's title is a reference to NSYNC liberating itself from their old management.

Notable Singles:
* " Bye Bye Bye"
* "It's Gonna Be Me"
* "This I Promise You" - a Richard Marx penned/produced hit

Lesser Known Singles: (thank you wiki)
* "I'll Never Stop" - not on US album

Other Songs on the Album i Kind of Liked:
* "No Strings Attached" - i thought this was a single
* "That's When I'll Stop Loving You"
* " I Thought She Knew"

The Rest of the Album:
* Space Cowboy (Yippie-Yi-Yay)
* "Just Got Paid" - a cover of the 80s song
* "It Makes Me Ill"
* "Digital Get Down"
* "Bringin' Da Noise"
* "I'll Be Good for You"
