Do you remember spiky hair with frosted tips? How about coming home from school and watching music videos on much music? When music was all young male and female pop groups with boybands being all the rage. Then you may remember the band B4-4, who aptly named their band this so when you went into the music store, their album came right before Backstreet \boys. People still go to the music store and flip through cds don't they? Well anyways, here is the debut album from the band who got similar comparisons to Backstreet Boys and O-Town. This album did quite well actually and still has those gems you remember. When looking at the recording quality of this album, it certainly has the overproduced, clean pop sound that was prominent in the day.  Although the instrumentation is somewhat poor here, it was all about the singing and dancing back then with these groups. Now with the vocals here, the band has done a really good job at singing and they can certainly sing in unison. Really great singing voices here, nothing too much else to say about it, nothing bad. Lyrics, are something that are not a huge deal with this band. The lyrics are more "hey girl I like you" or "omg we broke up" nothing to fancy and hits their teen female demographic pretty well. For a single on this album, you can listen to either, "Go Go" or "Get Down" you should remember at least one of those, and they really show the best of what these guys have to offer.  B4-4 are a typical boyband that hopefully you still remember. Who knows, maybe a comeback or they will pop up again somewhere, you never know. So with that, If you get down on me, I'll get down on you. listen to this album to decide what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)
