NKOTB "The Block" Review

by DEXIE on September 2nd, 2008

I picked up both The Standard Edition (13 songs) and The Deluxe Edition (13 + 4 bonus songs) of NKOTB’s much-anticipated reunion album, The Block. I could honestly say the sound has matured. It’s more sensual. Each song, accompanied with today’s music in the POP genre, and smart collaborations with who’s who in the Music industry (Ne-Yo, Lady Gaga, Pussycat Dolls, Akon and even New Edition), all the efforts are going to be successful. NKOTB’s fans are going to be happy with this album and will undoubtedly gain new fans from the younger/new crowd.

Having said all that, if you really want my honest to goodness review, no holds barred, no BS, click for more…

The Block is hot, sexy, SEX, satisfying someone, unrequited sex-love-making however you want to call it album. In short, all the songs have a connotation of someone being horny. Oh My Gosh. Hey, I’m being honest here. There’s nothing wrong with that direction, right? If years ago the NKOTB boys were singing about being in love and feeling this innocent cute affection, “I will love you for the rest of my life-put our posters in your bedroom wall, kiss us before you say goodnight and dream about you and I getting married” this time around, NKOTB is singing about hooking up, they wanna freaking have sex, in the Summertime or in the hood of a car, or doing Dirty Dancing, and don’t worry coz they’re going to give you a Full Service.  Song titles like the ones mentioned above and others like Sexify My Love, PCD Nicole’s sensual voice in Grown Man are a dead giveaway.

Speaking of giveaways ;), I’m giving away 2 free copies of The Block. Oh and before I forget, I’m happy NKOTB is back and YES I love their new album.
