...Backstreet-penned songs on the new album are not without flaws; they lack the sparkle of Max Martin originals and all too often resort to clich-driven lyrics easily mistakable for greeting-card poetry. Even with these flaws, however, the Boys' songwriting efforts reveal an earnest and largely successful attempt by the group to become creatively involved in their music.

An RV resort still has open parking spots. And a local fraternity unfurled a banner offering up its house to stranded journalists. Nearby, another sign took the high road: "As a retired public school teacher, I would not even consider asking the $150 a night that Pi Kappa Pi has, but a reasonable amount would have to be considered."
