JeffreyB.Nov 29, 2008Its just "OK". Seriously, Face the Music is still one of the best R&B/Pop albums around. Whether you like the New Kids or not, measure their careers on that album, because their other material doesn't even come close.

GarryGOct 1, 2008What's amazing is I never liked NKOTB back in the day but this album justifies there music greatly, this is probably one of the best albums I've heard this year, hopefully they come back strong.

KristenNov 27, 2008The Block is completely amazing! I can not help but listen to it.... Every time i hear the songs I like them better than I did before. I saw the guys in Philly and in Atlantic City and what entertainers they are. The music and the "men" are so much hotter!

RachelB.Oct 17, 2008Being a big fan when I was 14 I was worried that the new album wouldn't stand up to my adult tastes. My worries were for not as the album is really good, i even have co-workers stopping in my office and asking who's playing on my laptp!!

JecsicaR.Sep 3, 2008Many have tried & have failed to reach the popularity & success that NKOTB once had. After a long time awaited, they're finally back & stronger than ever. Their new CD 'The Block" proves they still have "The Right Stuff" & are still "Hangin' Tough."

MattS.Sep 3, 2008I have to admit I listened to New Kids in high school when it was NOT COOL. When "The Block" came out, I downloaded it instantly and it is I believe one of the best pop albums in the last 5 years. The beats are tight and the guys sound like they did when I was quarterback!!

AngelaH.Sep 4, 2008This music suppose to entertain, when Im listening music I dont need to hear about serious issues. I can watch the NEWS for that. It's really good pop danceable music. Awesome for clubs!

[Anonymous]Jun 12, 2009This truly is a great album! A tremendous show of how they have matured and their music has as well. It's one great song after another. I have tricked my husband & friends by making them hear the songs before telling them who it's performed by and every one of them loved what they heard!

DennisA.Oct 16, 2008Best New Kids album yet, and best pop album to hit the scene in over a decade. Strong and fun, the New Kids have done it again, and done it better than ever. NSYNC and Backstreet should bow to the godfathers of POP!!!

PEARLSep 15, 2008I've been a fan and always will be a fan. who cares about what these critics say. we the fans and the kids themselves must be so used to the 'bashing' that it is the last thing we need. they still rock! the comeback is one I've been waiting for and cant wait to see them in three days in Toronto! and yes, love the album!!!

The problem facing New Kids on the Block on their 2008 reunion The Block is the same one they had on their last album, 1994's "Face the Music": the quintet are no longer kids and don't quite know how to be adults.
-
The Block bears no distinguishing marks aside from a compulsion for sex, sex, sex with a lover whose name, apparently, is Girl.
-
Believe it or not, though, they've got the right stuff.
