The New Edition collaboration is awful mad

Well there wasnt much to be let down by since they are far from a "Great Albums" type artist, there are a few good cuts and they are lights years better than whats out there. But there is some really bad stuff, like AKON, holy crap with this guy already, i mean what is with this generations bullshit of annoucing they are on a track, Akon we know it syou because it sounds like EVERY OTHER song you are on! But im digging the PCD track because it lets Nicole go off a bit, it wont be a single because their album is out in a few weeks and their second single is already coming out on the 9th. But rumours are that the NKOTB are planning some surprise media things this week and a possible performance on the Mtv awards, since that show already has disaster written on it. They are begging anyone at this point

Having NE & NKOTB on the same track together is history in the makings (even if the song isn't great).

I like to see Boyz II Men & Jodeci do a song together.

Its not too bad a song, but its really hard to figure out who is who on the track.

My problem with the album is the number of tracks, 17 is too much, i dont need 17 tracks of any artist in one shot, unless its a hits package or live album.

Big mistake not to make "Click Click Click" the lead single.

Agree! I can think of 5 or 6 songs on this record that are FAR better single choices than "summertime" and now that ne-yo song. Bad moves

overall, not a bad return for nkotb.

their last album in 94, "face the music" is still their best ever, but this isn't too bad at all. Certainly better than expected.

Some of the tracks though have got too much Auto Tune on them, I don't know why though?? They should have left their voices as normal on them tracks, the autotune just gets really irritating, especially since Jordan and Joey have got decent voices, and sound great on most of the other tracks.

Overall, the production is quite good, and has a lot of that trance type synth all over most of the tracks, as that seems to be the "in" thing at the moment in R&B and Hip Hop.

the best track is "stare at you", it has that classic new kids sound, and overall probably the best track.

and yeah, i agree, there are much better tracks that they should have gone with for the singles.

Click Click, they should have gone with that instead of Summertime.

Also, the new edition track just has too much autotune it, its ridiculous.

Still, the album is better than most of the shit that is out there on the charts.

That and the PCD song "grown man" mainly because that song could have turned out to be a disaster, but turned out well, could have been some RB trash production but they went another way with it, thank god

yeah,
it doesnt make sense though why they have used it on about 4 or 5 tracks.

it gets very irritating, especially on one of the tracks, its absolutely pointless having it on there, it just ruins the tracks by having this vocoder autotune on Joey and Jordan's voices. On the other tracks, they don't have the vocoder autotune.

maybe they wanted to cash in on the tpain thing. lol

i think you hit it right on te head. i's probably more of a trend thing than anything else. does Donnie sing a lot on this album too? i was noticing that on the Hanging Tough cd (yes, i've been listening to it) he sings lead a lot considering he doesn't have the strongest voice.

Thanks. Now I’m torn. I really don’t like Ne-yo and Akon. I can take or leave NE and PCD but I like the music they did with Teddy on their last album.
