Now or Never by Nick Carter

Pros: A hand full of fun, pop tunes.
Cons: A hand full of mediocre tracks.

Preamble
C'mon. You knew it was coming. :)

Nick - The Past
Unless you've been asleep the last seven years, then you know that Nick is part of the very successful group - the Backstreet Boys. Nick and group...

Pros: Lyrically and vocally different from what many would expect.
Cons: "Girls in the USA" "Miss America" "Is it Saturday Yet?"

Anyone who didn’t see this solo album coming years ago obviously wasn’t paying attention to the Backstreet Boys. Nick Carter inked a solo deal long before this effort and it was only a matter of time before it went into production, not so...

Pros: Plays it safe, "I Just Wanna Take You Home"
Cons: Plays it TOO safe, too much filler

To insure that he got at least some time in the spotlight, Backstreet Boy Nick Carter has released his debut solo album just weeks before NSYNC’s Justin Timberlake releases his. I was not planning on buying this album, but after making myself...

Pros: Yes.
Cons: No.

I've been a fan of the Backstreet Boys since age nine, which means I'm going on about seven or eight years of pure devotion and crazed dedication.

Now, I'm not going to sit and explain why I'm a fan of theirs, as I've done so here at...

Pros: Good hooks.
Cons: Passe and formulaic.

Pros: EVERYTHING!

Now Or Never is an amazing combination of pop, rock, and a touch of other flavors which results in instant ear candy. Track listing is as follows: 1. "Help Me" 2. "My Confession" 3. "I Stand For You" 4. "Do I Have To Cry For You" 5. ...

Pros: non-boy band, rock, different
Cons: sounds familiar in some parts

Roughly Nick Carter is trying to break away from the pop boy band look and feel. He has moved from the original pop to the pop/rock. It somewhat sounds like he is really enjoying what he is singing and producing. This is showing that you can only...

Pros: Great music, awesome vocals
Cons: ...

Well, Nick is back, and he came with a bang! The first solo effort for this former Backstreet Boy h ...

Pros: Good Music, Good Beats, Great Lyrics.. Boy can he sing!
Cons: None! I wish there was more Songs!

I love this CD! I at least know now that if the BSB ever break up totally that at least one of my favorites of the BSB will be there to rock on with excellent music.

From Rock to Pop and a Bit of Rap, the CD has a little bit of everything for...

Pros: -Amazing voice -Great songs -Handsome singer
Cons: -I can't think of any cons, this is an excellent album

'Now Or Never' - Nick Carter is one of the best albums I own. Pure talent. What more could you want in a CD? First released single is 'Help Me', an amazingly catchy pop-rocky tune-- and very relatable for anyone. "Help me/ figure out the difference...

Pros: Great 80's sound, fun music, beautiful rock ballads.
Cons: You wish there were more than 12 great songs to listen to!

Nick Carter's new solo debut "Now or Never" will let you know that it indeed is his time to shine NOW. The youngest member of the widely popular and successful group 'The Backstreet Boys' tests his writing skills with surprisingly rocking hits like "My...

Pros: I liked him in BSB. But, now that he's solo, he's much better.
Cons: He should've wrote all the lyrics to his songs.

I did not expect this from Nick Carter. His image as one of the Boys changed so much when he came out solo. He's into rock. Not hard, I would say kinda like a mixture. There is one song that I defently love. It goes like this:

(who needs the...

Pros: Well he is still cute
Cons: The songs aren't suitable for Nick

Nick has an awesome voice, but the songs on this CD just aren't right for him. The only songs on he ...

Pros: rebellious, rocking, loving
Cons: The lyrics could have more depth.

Now or Never

A good album which shows Nick Carterīs singing quality.

You love Rock, here it goes "Help Me", " My Confession" or the rebellious " I Stand For You ". You want some more, then listen to " Blow Your Mind", "Is It Saturday yet" and the hymn to all the American girls " Girls in the USA ".

And if you ask yourself if he sings ballads as well, you will not be disappointed.
" Do I Have To Cry For You " reminds a little bit of the early Bryan Adams .Another one is the beautiful " Heart without a Home " and " Who needs the world ".

I bought this album because it combines a good mixture of Rock and Pop. You do not have it , go and grab it.
