Free Music Notes for New Kids on the Block - Greatest Hits
Free Music Review: Excellent
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD has all my favorite ballads by the New Kids such as "Please Don't Go Girl," "I'll Be Loving You Forever," "Let's Try It Again," "Baby I Believe In You," "If You Go Away," etc. The only ballad missing that I wish was on it is "Where Do I Go From Here."
There are great ballads on here as well as more upbeat Pop classics such as "Hangin' Tough," "The Right Stuff," "Step By Step," etc.
This is a great CD for original fans like me ("Blockheads"), new fans, and anyone who just wants to take a trip down memory lane back into Pop music of the 80's and 90's.
The New Kids were popular in the late 80's/early 90's when I was in highschool. They were the 'NSYNC and Backstreet Boys of that time.
Free Music Review: Music at its corniest
Hit: 4 Stars
So what if NKOTB has made some of the corniest and funniest (not intentional, of course) songs ever? Their music is fun to listen to and it brings back memories of when I was a little kid. NKOTB may not be "cool" to listen to, but they definately paved the way for the flood of boy bands today!Free Music Review: well......
Hit: 5 Stars
I am and will probably always be a NKOTB fan. I find it a little scary that I still know all the words to their songs that I haven't heard since I was 5 or 6, when they were in their prime. Yes, their music isn't deep, thought-provoking, emotional material (more along the lines of fun, upbeat, mind numbing cheeriness that only boy bands can come up with) but I honestly do like NKOTB, and will recommend this album to anyone who likes them also. It has their greatest hits (hence the title) and anyone who was not living under a rock in the 80's and early 90's will remember most of these songs, even if they weren't the biggest fan. I highly suggest this cd for anyone who was a fan, wants a flashback to the 80's, or just wants to listen to some good, fun-lovin' music.Free Music Review: The best CD from one of the "originial" Boy Bands!
Hit: 5 Stars
Sure, I'm a 17-year-old girl who loves most of the Teen Pop that's out there today (and what kind of girl my age doesn't?!) but I also love some of the older Boy Bands like New Kids On The Block. (Although my favorite #1 Boy Band is still - and will always be - Backstreet Boys.) And though I haven't heard many of the NKOTB songs or seen any of their music videos 'cause when they were still a group, I was still very young, I have heard some of their songs such as "Step By Step" (which is my absolute favorite by NKOTB) and "Hangin' Tough". All the songs I've heard so far by NKOTB are awesome. And what's all of this saying that today's Boy Bands aren't as good as NKOTB? Today's Boy Bands are just as good. They are just all different in their own ways. I mean, we're all Teen Pop Boy Band lovers...so why can't we love 'em all?! Whoever said we had to choose 1 Boy Band to love? I'm not afraid to admit that I love them all! (From the Beatles and Beach Boys to Backstreet Boys and N SYNC!)Free Music Review: 5 stars for Nostalgia
Hit: 5 Stars
I remember the good ole days...when pop music was poppy and boy bands were...well their was only one boy band and it was called New Kids On The Block. I was in love with their music and thought Jordan Knight was "a major babe", that was when I was in the fourth grade. I would watch the Hangin Tough video and dance along with the boys. I would watch the Right Stuff video and I would be so envious of the girls in the video...I wanted to be in their position. But what about their talent? Well when I received this CD two weeks ago as a gift, I was hesitant...after all I remember in 1993-4 when the "NKOTB" went hard-core, it burst my little junior high bubble and I vowed never to like them again. I immediately tore down all the posters, buttons, dolls, apparel, blankets, etc. My little heart was crushed. In the coming years I did not want to talk about the New Kids because I felt so embarrased by their sudden change. That memory came back when I went to play the CD. With my Jewel, DMB, and Alanis albums, the New Kids seemed so odd and out of place. I immediately wanted to hear Step by Step. The BEST song they ever performed. I loved it back then and to my surprise, I still love it to this day. It is the one song where their vocals are solid and strong, not faded or weak like in the others. I love the musical arrangement of the strings, it really helped them as opposed to the synthiser sounds of "I'll be loving you forever" I saw that "Tonight" was on the CD, and I could not place that song in my memory, yet I remember I absolutely loved that song. I loved that song like kids like the lame N'Sync songs of today...I played the song and the chorus consisted of "Tonight...Tonight...Tonight...Tonight" I fell to the floor in laughter, how could that lack of solid lyrics be one of my favorites? The rest of the song, like the main depth of the New Kids songs, were cliche and trite lyrics, but it made an 8 year old girl very happy at the time... So why I would not give 5 stars to the albums sheer talent and great sound, I rate it 5 stars for the sheer memories of loving my first celebrity crush.
