3.0 out of 5 stars EXCUSE MY NOSTOLGIA!..., January 17, 2002

By	J. Johnson "capricornrising1" (CT) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just listened to my long-lost tape of New Kids On The Block's
"Cover Girl" and oh man,did that bring back memories!!
That song transported me from now to the Summer of '89!
I know I might get laughed at,but I LOVE THAT SONG!!

And..."Hangin' Tough" is without a doubt,probably,the best
boy band album EVER(excluding maybe,New Edition or BBD).
New Kids On The Block were as processed and hated on as the
boy bands of today(they were basically a white washed New Edition) but in my opinion they are far better than Backstreet
Boys and N'Sync.They had great teenybop pop songs!

I still remember the dance steps from the "(You Got) The Right Stuff" video and I still know all the words to this album's title track too!

Oh,man,I know I may laughed big time folks but I mean the late
'80s and the early-to-mid '90s have so many memories and me being
a music fanatic,the music brings back the memories.Hope you understand!

Plus,you have to admit the teen stars of then are way more talented and groomed than the pesky teenyboppers of today!

5.0 out of 5 stars HANGIN TOUGH is one of the best cd's ever made!!, April 4, 1999

By A Customer

Whoever doesn't like NKOTB is crazy!! Myfriends and I still have NKOTB nights where all we do is listen to their cd's and watch all of the videos. Hangin Tough is my personal favorite. PLEASE DONT GO GIRL is sooo awesome.My dream isfor Joe to remake that song. I'm so happy that Joe and Jordan are back and as great as they can be. Donnie and Danny also for helping with Joe's album. Forever a nkotb fan, ns.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Right stuff!, May 28, 2006

By	Mr Alan Williamson (All over the place!) - See all my reviews

It's particularly sad to see how many manufactured boy bands there are out there nowadays when you consider that raw talent such as the New Kids was allowed to flourish not much more than a decade ago. The title track is great to listen to if you want to get psyched up before an important business meeting or date - just don't get overexcited as I once did and ask your ladyfriend if she is 'tough enough'. That minor quibble aside, this is one of the best albums ever made. Go get!
