Most of the guys were nearing 40 when this album was released and I have to say it's nice to see that this album has an adult theme that would appeal more to the grown women they should currently be seeking. The songs are very sensual without being graphic (Rihanna could take some notes). At no point does it sound like they are trying to seduce young girls as I have heard several reviewers say. It's fun and sexy and I love it. I look forward to rolling down my windows and bumping this all the way too and from work everyday. Great Album! I am a new NKOTB convert at 23 yrs old and I wonder what the hell took me so long. Looking forward to more from my boys. And can I say the live show is incredible and even at huge venues it still has an intimate small group feel.  And btw they say Pose for me in Click Click Click...since he's taking mental pictures...and the song is Sexify My Love and it's about taking their relationship to the next level not a bar hookup...just sayin Great New Album!

I just watched one of their music videos and quite frankly I'm embarrassed for them. How can they take themselves seriously?

I never liked any of their songs and just like New Edition Kids singing about love at that young age didn't apeal to me because they were not men and what do little boys know about love? They are not men, they were kids back then. But, I found myself entranced with the song they have with Ne-Yo "Single" It reminded me of the days when I used to Jet set and enjoy the beautiful Vibe in the clubs with good people and fine women. "Single" I must admit is a great song for these guys and I am surprised by Donny's voice. I considered him the less of a singer back in the day. Well again that could be some enhanced studio trick but never the less it's a good tune to chill with a woman with some bubbly and enjoy your time. As far as the rest of the tracks off the album, there may be a few diamonds in the rough but I give them boys credit for making it back on the scene with at least a nice tune to groove to. I didn't like them as kids but I respect them as men. Who cares what the critics think. They are getting paid hand over fist. Isn't that the point of a comeback? To give the fans one last hoo-rah and get to paid? Go get your money and hell what the critics say. LoveJay Well I must admit I hated NKOTB when they were at their prime.

The review is terrible. The album is safe. NKOTB was a phenomenon back in the 90s. No they aren't the best musically talented people in the world. But listen to music today and there are only a handful of legitimate talented stars today. Music is so over produces and "cleaned up" you will be surprised who really has the talent. Can you say producers? I think it is great that they came back for whatever reason. It may have been to recapture that feeling they shared together back in the day. The rush of making music and performing. Don't you wonder how it must feel to have arenas full of people screaming for you? After 15 years don't you think it would be nice to feel that again? Say Payday? I am not sure how much of the hundreds of millions of dollars they actually pocketed from their time on top of Forbes list of most money making musicians at the time but in case you are only 21 and have no clue, albums, tours, video specials, cartoons, lunch boxes, dolls, bed spreads..etc etc etc. They had their face on everything you can imagine. But back to the point. Why wouldn't you want to score another big payday later in your life. To help have financial security for your family as you get older and your options become less. But for whatever reasons they had for their comeback its theirs to own. And I am sure that this reviewer really didn't do his/her research. Listen to these comments and check out NKOTB's performances and concerts. People care. And if you were even smarter you would realize that NKOTB has a significant place in music history. I believe without New Edition and NKOTB (thanks Maurice Starr) there wouldn't have been Backstreet boys or N'Sync. That is the magic of music. And my review of the Block is positive. They didnt blow the doors off but they did make a safe good pop/RnB album. Few of the songs are more than good. I am glad that they came back. And the one thing that may help you in your future reviews is understanding that the great thing about music is that it meant to be interpreted in different ways. Music and lyrics can mean different things to different people. So kudos to the Kids for the balls to put themselves out there and give their fans what they wanted. More NKOTB music. We need a little pop life back in our lives during these hard times. For them to do what they are doing after 15 years and still have the following is inspiring in itself....I wonder where this reviewer will be in 15 years.....Thanks. LOL. The review is terrible.

It's just a review...as in, it's this person's OPINION. Everyone is entitled to one, right? So just because this reviewer doesn't like the new NKOTB cd, which - let's be honest here - could definitely have been alot better, you all think this person isn't qualified to do their job? I'm sorry - I highly doubt that one of the requirements of the job description was to bend to the will of the public and declare this a great cd, though I personally think it's crap. Um…wow.
