“Bigger” is the first collaboration between the turn-of-the-millennium boy band and the man who co-wrote “I Want It That Way” for them since 2005, and it’s pretty awesome in an effervescent way; it opens with some delicate acoustic-strumming, then opens up into a chorus that floats along on a string of rapidfire “la la la la la”-ing. And there’s a guitar solo! I wonder when we can declare those officially “back”? Uh, no pun intended. Clip after the jump.
Hey, come to think of it, this reminds me of that Justin Timberlake song that came out earlier this year that also uses the word “Bigger” in its title! Also, every time I see Brian Littrell now, I think “the swine flu.” Aw, poor guy.

Props to what-his-nuts for stickin’ with the guyliner. KEEP IT REAL, SON.
What a charming song. But the rehab one is perhaps a bit too old and chubby for the guyliner.
Maura, Thank you for continually posting about the BSB and giving them a chance. I respect you and this site for not falling into the same ol’ criticisms.
I think the song may not be good enough for major radio comeback, but the video is real nice.
@KingofPants: Wait - that wasn’t Serj Tankian?
