It's actually not that bad, remove all the akon crap and it's even better.
Click, Click, Click is the best track.

Question regarding the track "Full Service" what members of New Edition is on this tune? "Cuz I all I can hear is the 3 mofo's from BBD, I expected more singing
between Gill, Tresvant, Jordan Knight and Joey, what a wasted opportunity.

i guess its good, for this type of music. I was expecting more pop/dance. but a lot of it sounds like typical generic hip hop. alot of the songs sound the same.

im happy for them.

I heard they are still trying to attract the teeniboppers, which will probably spell BOMB in sales as no kid today will even remember them first time around. They should be passed that now, and were even by "face the music" in 1994

I probably will pick it up, but as I said, they grew on "face the music" (one of my all time fav albums), and even Jordan grew alot on his rather good debut album, so this sounds like its gonna be a step back.

Shame. Bytheway, the rather neat "summertime" was produced by Hakeem of the boys apparantly? Great to see him back if it is.

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.



Yeah, Donnie sang quite alot of the leads off their first 2 albums. Then by "step by step", only one song (the goofy as hell, but oh so much fun "stay with me baby").

I dont mind Donnies voice on those old songs LOL

All NE members are on it except Bobby and Mike, who let it be known that they were not down for the collaboration at all. Mike said (from his MySpace):

"I've been receiving a lot of questions concerning the New Edition collabo called Full Service. The answer to your question Am I on the song is unfortunately no I'm not. In my 25th year of trying to celebrate the struggle we've been through, this particular opportunity I chose to sit on the bench. I wish the project a lot of success and to my man Ricky make sure you rep O.P. to the fullest and keep your game face on."

If they took that stoopid vocal effect off of it, you could have heard them better.

On the "Behind the Music" special they did on New Edition, Bobby looked STRAIGHT at the camera and said to NKOTB, with his characteristic snarl "Ya'll will NEVER be us".

I'm an old skool blockhead and didn't have high expectations for this new album. But I really dig it.

Really surprised on how they've come back. I never would have thought that they would be this big again. I'm sure that they had no idea either.
