This continues a boy band tradition of questioning, if not actually biting, the hand that feeds, stretching from the Beatles through the Monkees, David Cassidy, the Bay City Rollers, and more recent contenders such as New Kids On The Block. This type of manuever usually precedes a catastrophic drop in sales and /or acrimonious split.Regardless of whether CELEBRITY is a portent of disaster, it's an effective amalgamation of thoughtful, sometimes acerbic pop in the band's bubbly, R&B lite tradition ("Celebrity," "The Game Is Over"--the latter using arcade game noises to good percussive effect) interspersed with the ageless boy-girl dramas, such as "Girlfriend" and "Just Don't Tell Me That," that N Sync does so well. The low-key, string-colored ballad "Gone" is particularly effective, using a similar treated guitar effect to Madonna's "Don't Tell Me," while the down and dirty, self-descriptive "Up Against the Wall" is the band's insurance against any accusations of hyper-cuteness.
