Free Music Review: An Underrated Gem : Possibly Their Greatest Album
Hit: 4 Stars
Its ironic that so few people even know about the existence of this 1994 album. It was considered a 'flop' by the record company (to date, it has sold around 135,000 copies in the United States, according to Billboard Magazine), and eventually resulted in NKOTB disbanding.
Thats sad, because "Face the Music" is one of the best, if not THE best New Kids on the Block album. As a long time supporter of the guys, "Hangin' Tough" is obviously my favorite New Kids album, simply because of associative reasons and the fact that it literally was the soundtrack of my life for a few solid years in my pre-teens, but musically, "Face the Music" is much more mature, and definitely more lyrically creative.
Also, the tunes are a whole lot stronger. The disc's best cut, "If you Go Away", was actually a HUGE success in Asia, though it didn't quite get any mainstream success in the US. The other single, "Dirty Dawg", have the boys deliberately trying to reach out to the hip-hop/funk audience, with some interesting results. Biased as I am about all things remotely connected to the New Kids, of course I love this song as well.
"Face the Music" is longer than all of the other New Kids albums, and it also lets its two minor members (Danny Wood and Jonathan Knight) come to the fore a bit more than usual (these two guys are notorious for shying away from lead vocal status). Its a great, early '90s slice of progressive pop, and the disc boasts of some EXCELLENT production - seriously, on a good stereo system, the production just soars - get it and find out for yourself.
Four Stars. This isn't my favorite New Kids album, but its clearly their best one, in terms of musicianship and creativity. A must-buy.
