| Editorial Reviews:
Amazon.com The soul-tinged harmonies 98 Degrees showcased in the top 10 hit "Because of You" are far more credible than those of other late-'90s teen-beat groups, but then there's plenty of star-making power behind the scenes: producers Trackmasters and Pras provide the funk on the '70s-esque "Heat It Up" and "Fly with Me," respectively; Stevie Wonder cameos on "True to Your Heart"; and the powerful ballad "I Do (Cherish You)" is a remake of Mark Wills's country hit. Their best weapon, though, is the soul in lead singers Jeff Timmons and Nick Lachey's vocal cords. Occasional 'N Sync-like pop ("The Hardest Thing," "To Me You're Everything") can be forgiven thanks to an impressive a cappella version of Michael Jackson's "She's Out of My Life" and the disco-happy "Do You Wanna Dance?" --Rebecca Wallwork

Definitely not a boy band! June 4, 2000 36 out of 42 found this review helpful
This is a great CD! You have to buy it. I'm usually not into Motown groups, but 98 Degrees is cool. "Invisible Man" really got me hooked onto them and this album is even better than the first. For those of you who associate 98 Degrees with a boy band are definitely mistaken. They are mature and can actually sing (they don't dance, also).1. Intro - kinda corny but what intro isn't? 2. Heat It Up - this song makes you wanna dance and is a good way to start the CD. I really like it. 3. If She Only Knew - Good slow song. You can feel them, nice harmonies. 4. I Do (Cherish You) - very sweet song. I'd love to play this at my wedding. 5. Fly With Me - I love this song. The part where Jeff Timmons sings a long, high note is beautiful. 6. Still - Nice slow song. This song was written by 98 Degrees and it's very heartfelt. 7. Because Of You - this song will always be a hit. I never get tired of it. 8. Give It Up - this is a nice a cappella song, also written by 98 Degrees, nice harmony 9. Do You Wanna Dance - obviously, you could really dance to this song, you can also hear Drew and Justin who hardly get to sing, I like this song 10. True To Your Heart - this was the first song I hear from this album and I loved it then and I still love, Stevie Wonder sounds good in this one 11. To Me You're Everything - this song has boy band content, but it's still a good song 12. The Hardest Thing - I love this song. It should have gone #1. Loved the video. 13. She's Out Of My Life - This is definitely my all time favorite 98 Degrees song. The harmonies are so beautiful and Jeff sounds really good in this one. You might even cry.
98 Degrees and Rising cd review January 23, 2000 12 out of 14 found this review helpful
hey i'm writting this review because i have never In my life heard such a cd! (i know it sounds like an exageration but it's not) i buy a lot of cds and many of them i like 3 or 4 songs sometimes 5 at the most, but this cd i love every song! I would have paid so much more for this cd than i did. It was worth every penny!
Awesome December 23, 1999 11 out of 14 found this review helpful
"98 Degrees & Rising" is actually the first album of the guys' that I bought, and it's just unbelievable. Jeff, Nick, Drew & Justin put so much feeling and emotion into their singing, I know it sounds corny, but I sometimes feel what the song is saying. "She's Out of My Life" isn't an original song, but the guys sang it so beautifully that I cried. No joke. Jeff & Nick did an amazing job a cappella. I've heard Michael Jackson's original, and the guys definitely sound better. They're not crying, but they put so much emotion into their singing that you can almost feel their "pain." The tracks are either fun and upbeat (Heat It Up, Because of You, Do You Wanna Dance, True to Your Heart) or heartfelt (I Do, Still, She's Out of My Life, The Hardest Thing). Jeff has changed the way he sings a little from the first album-not that he needed to, but it's definitely noticeable. And it's cool to hear Justin & Drew in "Do You Wanna Dance." It's one of my favorite albums-though I admit I am biased because 98 Degrees is my favorite, ever since I heard "Invisible Man" and "The Hardest Thing" on the radio. Anyone who likes R&B/Motown would love this CD because the guys are definitely rooted in that genre of music, and they do an excellent job on their sophomore project. "98 Degrees & Rising" is an awesome album, and the guys really are extremely talented.
This CD is the best one so far! November 20, 1999 9 out of 16 found this review helpful
This is the first CD that I do not regret spending about $15 on. I only skipped two songs on the ENTIRE CD because I'm not into depressing songs, otherwise it's a great CD. My favorite song is "Fly with Me" because it sounds great. If you listen to any review, listen to mine. Buy it. You'll regret it if you don't.
