 On their first album since 1994, the thirtysomething members of New Kids on the Block make remarkably little attempt to conceal their ages. There's one song called "Grown Man," for example, and there's another in which the hook goes, "I'm a big boy / You're a big girl now."
"The Block" even ends with a bit of in-the-studio chatter between Donnie Wahlberg and one of his children -- not the most efficient way of distracting us from the fact that these backstreet boys are well on their way to becoming middle-aged men. (On the other hand, the album does include a track called "Sexify My Love," which is certainly a mistake nobody over the age of 16 should make.)...full text |

| Before getting into the specifics of what a term like "sexify" might mean, it's worth taking a moment to wonder why any of the New Kids On The Block would qualify as go-to authorities in matters related to sexification. That question comes to mind throughout the song "Sexify My Love" and throughout The Block, the first NKOTB album since what might as well be three decades ago. All the "Kids" are old now—their mean age is 38.2—which makes certain moments strange, or at least a little awkward. In "Big Girl Now," they leer at a girl all grown-up and so ready to let it go that she's "got a grown man ready to blow." (Note the unpleasant conjuring of Jordan or Donnie or Joey or Danny or Jonathan ejaculating all over the place.) In songs like "Dirty Dancing" and "Stare At You," they… well, they merely sound like a boy band, and pay for the simple incongruity of it all....full text |

| The New Kids' comeback album contains songs like "Grown Man," "Big Girl Now" and "Put It on My Tab," designed to deliver the message that they're no longer the fresh-faced tweens on your pre-algebra notebook. But when one of them sings, "Let's try every position," on "Sexify My Love," it's hard not to smirkify your face. Sure, the New Kids deserve a shot at a reunion as much as anyone. But unless you're holding the album cover you'd have no way of knowing who these singers are, so completely have the Kids been filtered through the Usher Machine. Most of "The Block" is a reasonable enough approximation of faceless club pop, complete with standard-issue guest stars (the Pussycat Dolls, Timbaland) and out-of-left-field rap bridges....full text |
