The music is great.current.and anyone who likes pop would like it- NKOTB fan or not.
First, I love every song on this ablem, I would recommend it to anyone. Check it out, buy it and love it like I do.
I loved the New Kids back in the day, but I would love this album regardless of who it is. I love almost every song, but especially Grown Man, Twisted and Full Service. This cd will make you want to get up and dance. I haven't stopped playing it since I bought it weeks ago.
Other good tracks are the dance numbers "Big Girl Now" featuring Lady Gaga, and "Grown Man" with The Pussycat Dolls. It's been a while since these ex-boy banders registered on the pop culture meter, but here they are, fourteen years after their last album, with a few "distinguishing" wrinkles and less hair, but still sounding pretty good having updated their sound and rhythms.All things considered, this is a pretty good album of solid tracks, even though some of the lyrics clearly belong to a younger generation. Guest artistes include Ne-Yo, Akon, The Pussycat Dolls and fellow 80's group New Edition.The first single "Summertime" is the one that caught my attention, and I stuck around for "Single" the next release, featuring Ne-Yo. "Dirty Dancing" also caught my attention, with its shout out to Patrick Swayze.For slower R&B vibes try "2 in the Morning", "Click Click Click" and "Stare at You" and for the mid-tempo section there's "Full Service" (featuring New Edition), "Lights, Camera, Action" and "Put It on My Tab" (with Akon)The deluxe edition has four more songs, and for less than a couple of bucks more, you might as well go for that version instead of this one. Whichever you choose, this album proves that even 80's boy bands can bounce back.Amanda Richards, October 10, 2008
I know I'm not the only 30+ gal out there that became very excited when she heard that the "boys" were getting back together. I really wish they hadn't made a whole album full of such sexually charged songs (and does anyone else find it odd to put the little kid at the end of the album). They sound great.
I had nothing but fond memories of those boys.And guess what. Which may be a good thing, but not what I was expecting. I had (okay, still have) every album, and many many singles that were well worn out.
The album is very well done, but it is *nothing* like the music of my early teen days. Those "boys" have decided to prove they've grown up. Literally.So first things first.
I know I might be one of the few people out there, but I was so surprised by the lyrics. To each his own, but this would not be an album I'd share with my kids, and I'm glad that I didn't buy it.
