I'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 Block is awesome! And was meant for NKOTB FANS and those who are open to new music. How can I describe it, "It's like a Love letter from NKOTB to the Fans" and everything else is a blur. We don't care if the critics give a bad review...because its not about what they think, it's about what NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK FANS THINK! And New Kids Rocked it. This is a interaction between New Kids and Us the Fans. We are happy, who care what everyone else thinks. Rock On New Kids.

God help us, this recycled trash sticking its ugly head out of obscurity is anything BUT music.

This is a great album! And I think if people could let go of the past then they might see that. Firstly, the bonus tracks on the deluxe version are garbage. They are total fillers that shouldn't even made the cut. And the song, Close to You, from the Itunes version is amazing so buy it there! Click Click Click, Put it on my Tab (w/ Akon), Full Service (w/New Edition), Sexify My Love, Stare at You, Dirty Dancing, 2 in the Morning, Single (w/NeYo) are great songs and should be hits if people can minds. I'm not crazy about the contributions of Teddy Riley, PCD, and Timbaland. This is the best album of the New Kids career and it's b/c it is their music and not Maurice Starr's! Give the kids a break. They have finally proven that they deserve their legacy.

The 100 rating by the LA Times guy is legit. He gave it 4/4 stars. That being said, he's definitely a shill or trying to earn ironic cred.
