I have seen reviews from critics on backstreet net, but I decided a review from a fan might be much more interesting. As a 17 year old bsb fan from Liverpool, England I had supported the bsb through 2 bsb albums already and I rushed through my final exam so that I could get millennium. My thoughts on the 3rd bsb album are as follows:

1 LARGER THAN LIFE- WOW, at first i thought this was different, very AJ, but it automatically made me wanna get up and dance. This song puts a great big smile on the faces of the fans. This song makes fans feel honoured, the bsb actually took time out to record a song aout us, instead of just thanking us on the credits. This song is brilliant and it makes us fans feel special. I LOVE THIS SONG

2 I WANT IT THAT WAY- I had heard this one as it had reached number 1 in the Uk which made me so proud. The amazing thing that sticks out in this song is the strong voices, they go so well with the music. This song is one of those songs people don't forget and they sing it all day long. I love this song

3 SHOW ME THE MEANING - There is something about this song that makes people stop and listen to the lyrics, the way the bsb sing this; you can hear the pain, this is an amazing song that has so many meanings, all i can say is "Go Kev"

4 ITS GOTTA BE YOU - this song is brilliant. The bsb show that you can have an up-tempo song and still harmonise, because brian sounds so good in this song, how does he do that????? this song is one of those you can't help but sing along.

5 I NEED YOU TONIGHT - i had heard this song live in concert and i had seen the acoustic version aswell, this is a beautiful song, but its better live, nick can really put his heart and soul into this song. The electric guitars in the middle are very Nick, good to see he added his own little touch.

6 DON'T WANT YOU BACK - when I heard this song was about a fan I thought it was a bit harsh, but I don't care, i'm just glad its not about me! This song is sang with emotion too, just listen to nick, he sounds like he means it.

7. DON'T WANNA LOOSE YOU NOW - I love this song. this song is gorgeous, especially towards the end where they all sing but not at the same time. they all sound so good on this track. I love the line nick sings about 3 minutes 25 into this song, but i can only work half of it out. can anybody help it goes like this "just reach out and......" this is an absolutely amazing song

8. THE ONE - I like this song because it sounds like the bsb really mean what they are singing, and AJ fits into this song perfectly.

9. BACK TO YOUR HEART - what can I say about this song. where has Kev been hiding. this song is pure talent, the music the lyrics and the singing. Brian sounds amazing in this song. And this song has some of the nicest lyrics in it i have ever heard. This song is definately one of the best! i love the bit where brian sings "coz your love is so amazing" and the way he sings the chorus.

10 SPANISH EYES - This was my favourite song from the first time I heard it. I think it might have something to do with the soft voices. And when nick sings "and the world is so beautiful tonight". just listen to the way he says beautiful, howie sounds brilliant on this track. but again it shows off brians talent amazingly.

11. NO ONE ELS COMES CLOSE - this song reminds me of AJ when i think of it, i think its the way he sings it, like he is personally singing it for a girlfriend or someone like it. The lyrics are well suited for AJ and he sounds so good. but how can they get that deep without choking, still its a lovely song.

12 PERFECT FAN - when I heard this song it made me hit some realisation. Right the way through this song you think of Brian. but listening to the lyrics and the music in this song, it makes you realise how normal the bsb really are. Throughout the 4 years i've liked the bsb i've never really thought about their families, and the way they are with them. but this song just makes you realise how much brian loves his mum, and how normal the relationship is between them. She(brians mum - sorry i don't know her name) has done for brian what our mums do for us, and that makes you sit back and think WOW these people are real, as real as any of us. this song changes the way you think of the bsb.

At the moment i haven't got a favourite song from the album, because it has changed nearly every day since i got Millennium. but every song has something special in it that i love. whether it is a day i wanna dance, a day i wanna listen or a day i wanna sing my little heart out. i am so happy with this album, and it is something for the bsb to be proud of and i know they are, and so am I. this album seriously has it all, more than anything us fans could have wanted.
