This Is Us isn’t Backstreet’s first album since their days on ?the boy-band A list. It’s not even their first since the departure of Kevin Richardson, who split prior to 2007′s snoozy Unbreakable. But the new disc does mark the band’s return after a decade to its old teen-pop sound, and considering these guys’ combined age, the result is surprisingly unembarrassing. Credit goes in large part to au courant producers such as T-Pain (”She’s a Dream”), RedOne (”Straight Through My Heart”), and Max Martin (”Bigger”), the group’s original Svengali. The strong vocals certainly don’t hurt either. B

LOWDOWN: “You hang in there just long enough and it’ll come back around,” says Backstreet Boys’ Nick Carter. “Those great R&B ballads and dance songs you can shake your butt to,” A.J. McLean elaborates. “The idea was going back to being us.” Helping the foursome rediscover their former selves are songwriters Ryan Tedder and Claude Kelly, T-Pain and Pitbull and veteran hit-maker Max Martin. But never mind the gimmicks, it’s all about the vocals, Brian Littrell contends: “There is a magic that happens when we all sing together.”

Call them pop’s longest-running, most persistent group. Call them men, not boys. Just don’t call it a comeback. “We almost named the album that,” jokes Nick Carter, one-fourth of the Backstreet Boys, whose seventh studio effort, This Is Us, is slated for release on October 6th. “We’re the Brett Favres of the music industry.” Clearly, he and his bandmates are fed up with the public perception that they’ve taken an extended time out. They’re not ‘NSync, after all. “It does frustrate me,” says Brian Littrell. “Everybody asks, ‘Where have you been? What have you been doing?’ When we’re, like, ‘We’ve been touring the world, and working our butts off!’ ”
OK, so maybe the boy-band racket isn’t what it used to be. There are no million-plus first week sellers in today’s music business, and so many outlets vying for your attention that it’s easy to miss a respectable showing like Backstreet’s 2007 album, Unbreakable. Which is one reason why A.J. McLean, Howie Dorough, Carter and Littrell are looking back to a proven formula with This Is Us. “The idea was going back to those great R&B ballads as well as dance songs you can shake your butt to,” McLean explains. “And we were fortunate enough to work with some amazing writers and producers who got our concept and everything fit perfectly.”
