It's worth it to get the deluxe edition... the last 5 tracks are very good. This album sounds very summer-y and is just good pop music. I'm a female in my 20s, and what draws me to Big Time Rush's music is their ability to make upbeat, fun pop music that is mature enough for adults and clean/energetic for children... it's good family fun. Their music started off very Nickelodeon sounding and the last two albums sound more mature, lyric and song-wise.
The best tracks I would say are 24/seven, Like Nobody's Around, Love Me Again, We Are, and Confetti Falling. The songs are consistently good, there's something for everyone.
My Best Buy number: 77329042
What's great about it: songs consistently good throughout, better lyrics, the members wrote almost all the songs, fun, upbeat, mature but clean
What's not so great: songs may sound too similar to each other, the photos included in the CD are meh, not sure if any songs make it to radio
Pretty much for every music album you buy, I'm sure you'll find yourself skipping a number of tracks you don't find as good as the select few. At least ,that's how it is for me. This album is unexpectedly impressive though, most of the songs are just great. She's got strong lyrics, and strong voice, and music that's either very upbeat or very sultry and keeps you engaged.
I'm a big fan of Disney as well as normal adult hits...but I tend to be hesitant with music from former tween stars as they can be too wild and trying-too-hard-to-break-free-of-the-tween-image (no offense to them) for my personal tastes. She shows she's growing up with style... I like that a lot! Good work, Demi! She just keeps getting better! I'd recommend this music for teens and above... but even younger kids enjoy her catchy beats.

What's great about it: many good songs to choose from, powerful voice, mature style
What's not so great: not the same Disney Demi (this isn't necessarily a negative)
I like that Big Time Rush is constantly experimenting with music styles and are having more and more hand in their music. They've always got something for everyone. This CD was more mature sounding though it's still good fun for the whole family. "Show Me" is probably the most adult sounding while "If I Ruled the World" sounds very Nickelodeon and for kids. Most of their songs are good for dancing... I would recommend it to anyone who likes family entertainment!

What's great about it: family fun, variety of songs, good voices
What's not so great: some people aren't open to a Nickelodeon boyband?
