The Block [Deluxe Edition]

This is an awesome cd, even if you never liked New Kids. They have certainly grown up and their new cd shows it. The songs are a mixture of slow and fast songs. There is a song for everyone. I would highly recommend to everyone to give New Kids a listen. They are the best on the block.

Let me preface this by saying that I am a 27 year old woman, and I am definitely not the type to go crazy over celebrities, especially boy bands. Different story with the New Kids!

Before I wrote this review, I read the bad reviews to see exactly what it was that the reviewers did not like. It was mostly the sexual innuendos, which I have to admit also threw me off a little bit when I first listened to the album.

My opinion has definitely changed. After giving the album two or three listens, it really grew on me! The New Kids are back as GROWN MEN, with a modern twist and a new sound for the new century. I mean, c'mon, we're not back in the 80s or early 90s anymore, and neither are they, so they shouldn't sound like it. The songs are fun, very, very sexy (extremely tame compared to the stuff they play on the radio!) and great to sing along with. Regardless of what anyone says, they sound and look better than EVER! We fantasized as teens, and now we can fantasize as adults about our five crushes!

Goodness am I addicted to this CD. I listen to it all the time. I LOVE New Kids, and have been a fan for a long time. When I heard of a comeback, my mind was set on supporting anything that they came out with. I am sooo glad they are achieving success with this new music. They very much deserve it. Was I shocked this would be good?? No. Since when did NKOTB make a bad album?? None I recalled. What a comeback, and I hope it keeps up for them. I am forever a NKOTB fan, and I am glad that their fans have stuck with them for many years to help them gain even more success, and have also gained even more fans in the process. GREAT CD, easily to get addicted to. A high recommendation for those who enjoy good, quality music, that is fun, and positive to listen to. Also, music that is done by a quality bunch of great guys that truly appreciate their fans. : )

when i first started listening to this cd, i couldn't believe it was NKOTB! It did not sound like them at all...meaning that i'm familiar to their 80's sound than today's. but they really blew me away with their new sound for the 21st century. it rocks! i love it and can't wait to see them again in concert!

the cd is awsome, the music cool, the MEN gorgeous and the service great ;)
