All Sides is the first and only album by multi-cultural pop music boy-band LMNT. The name was chosen to reflect both the group's varied musical taste, and the concept that they weren't just "another boy band". However, the latter message wasn't taken too seriously. This was the first and only album the group ever released.
Reception
All Sides gained some modest success, as the single, "Juliet" managed to reach number one on Radio Disney, where it remained for eight consecutive weeks.[3] It also reached #49 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Sales Chart.[4] However, it ultimately failed to gain the group as much popularity as acts like 'N Sync or the Backstreet Boys.
The album received generally negative reviews. AllMusic.com reviewer Michael Gallucci stated: "Their debut album is filled with post-millennium teen pop and all of its trappings", criticizing the use of "forced slang, suburban hip-hop touches, and a canned, manufactured sound that's both insincere and fake".[1] Entertainment Weekly reviewer Kristen Baldwin wasn't impressed, either: "[LMNT] is unlikely to revive the [Boy Band] genre".[2] Both reviewers also stated that they were little more than rejects from the ABC/MTV reality show, "Making the Band", and as such, there wasn't much to be expected from their sound.
