Boyz II Men - Throwback Album Vol. 1 (Koch)
Following the disastrous sales of its 2002 release, Full Circle, Boyz II Men tries to silence its career’s death knell with Throwback Album Vol.
Following the disastrous sales of its 2002 release, Full Circle, Boyz II Men tries to silence its career’s death knell with Throwback Album Vol. 1, updating soulful oldies-but-goodies. Only, instead of fresh reinterpretations, the quartet gives listeners soulless Xeroxes. Vocals for ballads like Michael Jackson’s “Human Nature” and the Isley Brothers’ “For the Love of You” are notches below the originals. Although BIIM momentarily recaptures its shine with an a cappella rendition of DeBarge’s “Time Will Reveal,” Throwback isn’t enough to throw them back atop the charts.
