I'm not happy. I can't say I had anything specific in mind as to what I expected from their first album in over a decade but I can say that now that I've heard it, this isn't it. I just hope the rest of the tracks are a bit better than this.
You know that New Kids on The Today Show bit I mentioned the other day? The YouTube gods spoke and the video is up. I'm a bit disappointed, mostly because I'd expected a longer segment and maybe a little singing but I'm not surprised that didn't happen, especially considering the endlessly screaming fans. You can barely hear anything over the screaming. What struck me most is that as the camera panned over the crowd, I noticed that only a handful of people looked old enough to remember the NKotB first hand. I feel a bit old after seeing that. Check out the video:
I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a New Kids fan. True, I haven't made an effort to search out a best of album or anything (though the idea keeps creeping into my brain) but I am looking forward to new material from the earliest of the boy bands. A few months back I posted a link to the New Kids website and now, care of Just Jared, we have the first new picture of the gang together and I have to say, it brought a smile to my face. The crew will also be making an appearance on Friday morning on The Today Show in celebration of the 20th anniversary of their "Hangin’ Tough" album. I'll be YouTubing that at some point on Friday.
Does anyone else care about these guys or is this reunion a lost cause?
