Winner's of the US equivalent of Pop Stars, O-Town's debut was a frothy confection of slick dance-pop hits that sold over two million copies. O-Town 2 comes after two hard years of touring, the group members have stayed together and moved into a house in Santa Monica, California, where they cowrote six of the songs and enlisted one of rap's royalty to work with them. Nelly cowrote and produced "Favorite Girl" and adds his trademark vocals to "Make Her Say". Since … mehrleaving the world of TV, O-Town have moved away from their boy-band beginnings. As a result, they sometimes come across as a band in search of a sound as they switch from hip-hop to dance to pop. But O-Town's collective heart really seems to be in guitar-driven rock. They give Bon Jovi a run for their money on the rather overwrought "These Days", while "From the Damage" could have been lifted off of a Goo Goo Dolls disc. O-Town are a band in transition, but give them credit for taking over the reins of their career. Maybe by the next album, they'll figure out what they want to be now that they've grown up. --Jaan Uhelszki weniger
