Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Legacy is just about the right title for this album. Boyz II Men were the original, modern-day boy band who formed the mould for groups such as Take That and the Backstreet Boys to be cast from. Heavily influenced by Doo Wop groups such as the Platters and the Dells and developed by ex-New Edition and BellBivDevoe member Michael Bivins, Boyz II Men quickly rose to heavyweight status after the foursome's 1991 debut Cooleyhighharmony. Their success is based on romantic ballads and strong vocals, the type of which groups such as Another Level could only dream of. However they've lacked the charisma and looks to really impact upon the world, being perhaps the only group that could be described as "quietly" selling an incredible 35 million records. This collection of their best moments concentrates on their strengths as crooning Cupids, best exemplified by their massive hit and classic ballad "End of the Road" (taken from the Boomerang soundtrack). "Hey Lover" featuring LL Cool J is as energetic as the album gets and Legacy is unashamedly assembled for lovers of slow, romantic bedroom soul. But a lot of Boyz II Men's work hasn't aged too well. "I'll Make Love To You", a one time smash, sounds tinny and tacky and "On Bended Knee" is gut wrenchingly saccharine in a way today's R&B artists just wouldn't even try on. This Greatest Hits album effectively closes a chapter of Boyz II Men's history. Having just signed a new record deal with an album for release next year it will be interesting to see if the quartet move on or stick to their tried and trusted sugar-on-sugar methodology. --Jake Barnes

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Boyz II Men: Legacy - The Greatest Hits Collection
You may have seen Boyz II Men in the spotlight recently, as they released their own cover versions of Motown classics, which is fantastic for any fan. The Legacy is all about Boyz II Men's journey from early hip hop, or contemporary soul to power ballads, and all are included on this wonderfull collection. All their well known hits are included, from their first to 'recent' ones, made when the album was first produced in the year 2000. An absolute masterpiece.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Beautiful
I'm not an overly 'mushy' kind of girl but I have to say that this CD can only be described in one word...'Beautiful'. These are songs that will touch and move you in ways that most modern-day songs never do. They're songs that you can listen to over and over again without getting tired of hearing them. These men have amazingly beautiful voices. This collection is just...Beautiful.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great album by great artists
If you have never heard boys to men before you are in for a treat. They are, and have been for a long time, the greatest vocal band to come out of america.
Many people have tried, and failed, to imitate thier unique singing style so i say to you that you need this album i promise you won't regret your purchase.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Not even my style... but i like this alot.
What I love about R'n'B is it can address feelings and emotions that other types of music find hard to grasp. B2M's Legacy is really a collection of songs that can help you express those feelings and is an ideal gift for a girl. After all, it is a female audience the lyrical content is aimed at, and a B2M song on the dancefloor is the very mark of the moment to go for a girl.

While a male audience may not find it a neccessary CD for their collection, its always useful to keep this CD about, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Amazing as ever!!!
If you like Boyz 2 Men and are a big a fan as me then you'll love this album, a good mixture of old and new, sentimental and just funky - i love it!!
