backstreet's back ... yet again?

Believe it or not, it's been 11 years since Backstreet Boys released their first album with boy-band classics like "Quit Playing Games with My Heart." Since then, the pop bubble has blown up and burst, yet the Backstreet Boys are the one group who have survived. In 2005, they made their comeback with the album Never Gone, with the hits "Incomplete" and "Just Want You to Know."

And the guys are back yet again to prove that they truly are never gone with another album, Unbreakable. They're older (and if possible, even cuter ... I mean, take a look at Nick Carter in this photo!!!), and they lost a member (Kevin Richardson opted not to return), but they're still 100 percent BSB all the way!

Before I even heard a note of the first single off the new album, my BFF said that just the title of the song was giving her chills: "Inconsolable." Ha! At first I thought she was a tad crazy (sorry, Jen!), but the first time I heard the song, I knew exactly what she meant! We've always talked about how *NSYNC has the dance moves, but no one can emote the way BSB can. I mean, have you seen the way the emotion pours out of Nick Carter when he falls to his knees?! :)

So check out their new video right here ... and tell me what you think!

So is Backstreet Back (alright!)? Or is there just no place for them in today's music scene?

Can't wait to hear what you think!
