 |  | Awesome! Highly recommended! |  |
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!

No matter who the music group is, once they've had a break for so long, there is always going to be questions as to whether or not their comeback is going to be good or not. Add to that the fact that this is a boy band, then there is more pressure to do well and a lot of negative talk about them. Let me say, that this album is terrific and of course they are going to sound different because they (as we all have) have matured, bringing about a more mature sound and a different sound. Apart from the fact that they've all 'aged' well, they sound as good as ever and their new feel is great.
Definately get this Deluxe edition because it has bonus songs (so why wouldn't you) and they are all good. Admittedly, it took a couple of listens to before I really really loved it, but now I can't stop listening to it.
My favs? Click, Click, Click, Single, and Stare At You. They are all terrific songs and you may surprise yourself. They have collaborated with some top artists of today (Ne-Yo, Akon and Pussycat Dolls to name a few) and that's saying a lot. These guys do still have it, and I highly recommend you get this great cd.
