A tour has not been announced yet but if album sales go well fans can expect a tour.

"As a former fan, I can honestly say I'm looking forward to this album. The Boys have always created some fun tracks. You can't have an awesomely bad dance party without some BSB," Hannan said..

While they've got their share of pop songs, the Backstreet Boys have also produced some pretty meaningful ballads. Fans are greatly anticipating what sound the Boys will have on their upcoming album.

"I'm not really sure what I'd like to hear on their upcoming album," sophmore secondary education major Lindsay Buckley said. "I love rocking out to their early stuff. There's always time for a little "Quit Playing Games With My Heart." But overall, I think it's time for a new sound."

While the boys seem eager for their upcoming album, they will be doing it with only four members. "Unbreakable" will be the boys' first album without Kevin Richardson. Richardson left the group last summer to concentrate on his solo career.

"Kevin was my favorite one," Buckley said,"It's going to be a tough adjustment."

There is no doubt that Richardson will be missed but the Backstreet Boys have moved on so why can't the fans? Their first single titled "Inconsolable" is now available. The song is a power ballad that has a very similar sound to the 2005 hit "Incomplete."

"If this is any indication of what the rest of the album will sound like, I'm excited!" Hannan said.

The rest of the album remains a mystery at this point and speculation will probably continue until the actual release date. The album will hit stores everywhere on Oct. 30.
