Down for the Get Down (Youngstown)

Really not much to say here. This was boy band Youngstown's second of two albums, and I picked it up for nostalgia purposes to accompany their first album. On first listen, it strikes me as the weaker of the two, but then, does one indulge in these albums for their musical qualities? That said, the boys of Youngstown seem to have been vocally competent, but trapped in that mould everyone was trying to use to capitalize on boy band success. Anyhow, this wouldn't be an album most people would want or need, but for those of you looking to revisit this era (for whatever reasons you may have), it's not the worst choice of purchase. It also includes a remake of John Lennon's "Grow Old With Me" which won't be making anyone's best of lists, but is interesting for what it is.

Tracks:
1. Machine
2. Float Away
3. Sugar
4. Little Sister
5. Could You Love Me
6. Every Single Thing
7. Down for the Get Down
8. So Tight
9. Away With the Summer Days
10. Dance Floor (Part 2)
11. You Want What You Want
12. Grow Old With Me
13. Run to Me
